My goodness, I've never grown this many tomatoes before. We normally grow tomatoes up by the house where they get the sun they need and some afternoon shade during the hottest part of the day. It works well. Up by the house this year, along with an eggplant, dill and a pot of zinnias, are Red Siberian, two Early Annies, two Early Girls, Ten Fingers of Naples, Rio Grande, Stump of the World, Santiago, Golden Girl and Camp Joy cherry.



Last year there were a few new-to-mes and they wouldn't all fit up at the house so they were in the garden in full sun. Big mistake! They were extremely unhappy with that and didn't do well at all. This year I moved them to the top of the garden in what might be a spot with too little sun. In the front are Brad’s Atomic Grape, Rebel Yell, Girl Girl’s Weird Thing, Bella Rosa, Super Sioux, and Rosella cherry. In the back are Mom’s Paste, KBX, Creole Original, German Johnson and Porter.



So far, the Camp Joy cherry is the tallest of all the tomatoes and is really jumping.



I got more field fence today so now I can make more second story tomato cages and trellises. The 330’ roll will probably be the last roll I need to buy in my lifetime!

that is amazing!!!! couple more weeks and all mine should look like that. job well done I will put up pictures soon once everything is in its place Im still moving things around due to the rain were having.again amazing!!

They look very happy so far. Is any fruit beginning to set?

Thanks, AK and MIssS. There are some baby maters starting on the Rosella, Atomic Grape, Super Sioux and Ten Fingers. Oh boy!

They have really taken off! I love the stage when the growth just explodes and the plants don’t have any disease issues yet.

I found this today.... the first Brad's Atomic Grape.

I’m growing Atomic Fusion. Baby fruit look exactly the same.

I finally have tomatoes:) on my bloody butchers and Siberian’s and some on my matsu and matsu express eeey oh and taxi

Awesome. Bloody Butcher's a fun one to grow. My Bloody Butcher (which I hope is a sport or mutant version) hasn't set yet, this year. It came from an unusually large and firm fruit (the only one of its kind on the plant) with a lot of locules.

I have had fruit set, though (no ripe fruit, yet) on Galapagos Island (both plants), Chadwick Cherry, Sweet Orange Cherry, my Husky Red offtype, Japanese Black Trifele, and a volunteer that's probably Galapagos Island. Galapagos Island was first (and second). My Husky Red offtype has the most fruit by volume (just one, but it's been growing fast).

Kryptonite (also by Brad Gates) looks interesting too.

It truly is exciting and fun to watch I still have so many that have small buds still only will tell if things get better so happy for everyone
