The bottoms are anchored with soil, and the tops with clothespins. 4/11/00 Better Boys have buds! 5/1/00 None of the tomatoes did well during the rainy/cloudy weather of a couple of weeks ago, but finally are looking a little better. Most earlier buds have fallen off, as expected. 5/11/00 Looking SO much better!! I think these blooms are the real thing. 5/17/00 Healthy looking plants. 5/27/00 First 'Better Boy' baby. 6/2/00 Tomatoes are growing well. 6/10/00 Mulched with dried grass. 7/9/00 Looks like a case of blight. 7/27/00 Not long for this world, I don't think. 2000 Summary: These are usually the most reliable tomatoes for me. This year, though, they didn't perform well at all--probably due to the very wet spring, and the place they were planted stayed moist with poor air circulation. Because of this, early blight set in earlier than usual. Pulled up plants on August 12. I will plant them again next year because they have proven to do well for me in the past.   Back to Tomatoes Page      Sign Our Guestbook       View Our Guestbook   ©2000-2007 Garden Pursuits.
