Hi SweetPea

Your listing of tomatoes for summer is buried in a thread and I was wondering if you could put them up here, please?

Mein dottir wants to grow tomatoes in a huge concrete ex-laundry tub (lucky thing) and wants small uprights that will continually crop salad tomatoes…

Well I have cropped some more, they are Tommy Toes and what a good cropper they have been…ripening by the hour as I speak…I think the wide variance of pH in the bed may have affected a couple…

The self-seeded in the ex-3 sisters bed has fired up again…I think the kelp fertilizer last week has helped, plus the lengthening and warming days…

I am looking at the next quadrant in that bed, hoping for egg plant and capsicum…
