Sure glad I like Tomatoes

[cmayna]

Honey, how many tomato plants do we really need? Wife is a master gardener who has gone crazy in our yard with so many plants, veggies & fruit. Currently she has 16 tomato plants with 9 different varieties. My favorite is cherry tomatoes, especially those that I pick right off the plant and woof down as I'm walking out to the shop.

Since we have two very large Oak trees that block the majority of the sun in our backyard, we are faced to put most of the plants in wine barrels and other types of large pots.

Our front yard is loaded with a variety of native plants and a couple squash plants.

Oh and here's Beary guarding my shop with his Silver club

And what fruit/veggies are you growing this year?

Nothing like a sun warmed right off the vine 'mater. Lil salt and pepper and eat it like peach. looks like you better get handy at canning. LOL.

Really nice setup . What a comforting space .
My Daughter has cherry maters in an Aero garden in the laundry room . Picked probably 75 so far this year . I also planted one for her outside . It's going crazy .

I had Jalapenos in another one , along with some Carolina Reapers . Had to plant the reapers outside . Picked a couple dozen Jap's so far .

I have a couple green bell outside also , but nothing like you have .
I really like that set up you have . Very nice .

Wow we haven't had a garden in years. Between work and the kids growing up. We just never found the time time maintain one Lucky for us our neighbors are very generous. I do remember growing peas and none of them every making it into the house. Pick and eat.

Point for sure

Garden not doing well here in Ohio. First year I had everything planted before Memorial day (last week of May is target date) Had to water in May. Now it's been really wet the past few weeks. Tomatoes and peppers are struggling. Best ones are the cherry tomatoes I grow in planters. Still early....hoping they take root

First year I didn’t do a garden in Ohio here at the house since 2010. Wet springs , worn out soil etc really just dragged the results down last couple years. Decided to give the soil a break. I’m going to work on the soil this year. I miss the 30+ tomato plants I usually have.

I'm like you not enough sun on the garden anymore, so we just do some pot cherry tomatoes. Mostly for walk by eating is what I like .
But the Cherry , Apple, and Pear trees are looking good so far this year.

And the highbush Blueberry plants will be quite full this year also

Now just use the veg garden plot for my Rhubarb and digging worms for fishing lol

Once the leaves are out back yard very shadowed
