Tomato Bed Update

My tomatoes have really taken off. Many are triple the size they were when I planted them less than two weeks ago! Below I've posted pictures of several of my babies :)





Hawaiian Currant...tried to order one of these last year but didn't get one. I'm really looking forward to seeing the fruit on this variety.


Paul Robeson...not a big producer last year, but I did utterly neglect them and given the good reviews I figured this one deserved another shot.


Green Zebra...I'm not a big fan of green tomatoes, but when you have red, purple, orange and yellow tomatoes you gotta add one of these in the mix


Blood Gulch...tried to die (twice), but appears to be making a comeback!


Opalka...produced a big crop for me last year of fleshy paste tomatoes


Yellow Submarine...this one is looking a little frail still, but last year it took awhile for this potato-leafed plant to really get going and it later became one of my top producers.

Not Shown: Sun Gold, Black Plum (my FAVORITE!), Mortgage Lifter, Goose Creek


Shallots coming up! There appear to be many green stalks coming out of each clove. There are now 3 shallots that have started putting up shoots.


Mmmm....Garlic. All but two or three cloves have 6" leaves bursting out of the soil!


15 pepper plants (2 Anaheim, 1 Jalapeno, 2 Cayenne, 5 Dulcetta, 2 Ancho/Poblano, 1 California Wonder, 1 Golden Woner, 1 Sweet Chocolate)....many of these will be heading out into the tomato bed in the next couple weeks.
