Show Us What You're Growing

Tongue depressors (or popsicle sticks) make good seed markers. Cheap from Amazon.

[RonB]

You can plant in the planter or in pots and transplant into the planter once they have a little size on 'em. You will need to keep the soil moist, ( at least the top inch or two), until they sprout. I find that easier to do if in pots. YMMV

[RonB]

First corn from the garden. According to the package the seeds came in, it's supposed to be ready this Tue, but I couldn't wait. I picked two, and this is the one I ate. SWMBO pronounced it to be very good.

Looks fantastic

[Prof Bunky]

Finally! Some decent tomatoes. (They're supposed to be part black). And they taste good, too. But the whole plant's dying from the ground up due to some fungus.

[JLR]

If you don't see the fungus, you might check your soil and make sure you have enough nitrogen. Or simply throw on some high-nitrogen fertilizer. If you use some fish emulsion, you can usually see results the following day. Regular fertilizer takes a few days.

I have 5 plants, and this is my first picking..lol What do I do with 2 tomatoes?

[Donw]

First tomatoes here call for tomato sandwiches. Of course so does almost every tomato that comes along after them too.😋

[Carolyn]

They are good with eggs in the morning.

[RonB]

BLTs!

[Alan Brice]

Tomato n scrambled egg sammiches!

[hoovarmin]

Is it premature for me to declare that I am a gentleman farmer?

[Donw]

Welcome. Hope to see you at the Farm Bureau meetings from now on.🙂

[hoovarmin]

Donw what is the attire? I am assuming a white 3 piece with a black bow tie?

[Donw]

Why I garden. My lunch today with a glass of ice tea on the side.

[Thunder77]

Yes sir!!

[Sid P]

That’s what I’m talking about! 15 minutes from now I’ll have some home grown tomatoes from my brother. Can’t wait!

[hoovarmin]

It's been years since I've seen a tomato like that in person.

[Thunder77]

This is what happens when you are away for 2.5 weeks!

[Sid P]

You returned just in time!

[HawkerXP]

Wish I lived next door.

[Thunder77]

Lots of tomato sauce and BLTs!

[DaveD]

Here's a great, lively tune that I'll be covering in my next livestream, from the inimitable, late great, sorely missed Guy Clark entitled Homegrown Tomatoes. I think of it every time I peruse this thread, about damn time I posted it. Pure joy!

[Donw]

Amen.

[DaveD]

"Only two things that money can't buy, and that's true love and home grown tomatoes."

[Donw]

Why I eat so many tomato sandwiches. Today’s harvest. My wife called me out into the garden to carry it inside.

[DaveD]

"You can eat 'em with eggs, you can eat 'em with gravy, you can eat 'em with beans, pinto or navy..."

[DavidNorcross]

Had a good day yesterday.

[hoovarmin]

With the price of produce at the grocery store what it is now, this haul may qualify you for
Secret Service protection.

[DavidNorcross]

Exactly why we are doing this. I sure do not see it changing anytime soon.

[hoovarmin]

Things are getting pretty serious at my Thai basil farm

[HawkerXP]

Almost ready for harvest!

[Rob whatever]

Just new to this thread. How far back do I need to scroll to find some good weed?
