Found 2 more - they were $1.50 each - ordered 2 - turns out they were exactly like the 2 purchased before. And for $1 each, got 3 steel rods (coated in plastic) to use to stake tomatoes (and whatever else). So now have 4 fairly-nice tomato cage’s for friend’s garden and only $5 in all 4.
Picked up extra Bone Meal at less than 1/2 price and 5 jars of Vegetable plant food for 25% of list (75% off). So, all ready for the next growing season.
The plant food really worked well on some carrots. They jumped up in 3 days.
Sliced-up 10 tomatoes this week - mostly small. 2 more ripening. I counted another 25 tomatoes growing - about 5-6 are really nice in size. About a dozen peppers growing (about 5 are purple!) but the size is coming up slowly. I’m hoping by end of October a few will be ready.
May be able to harvest some into November if lucky. Most of my Basil leaves are not looking too good. One good harvest about a week ago. Didn’t fill up my containers like I thought I would. Wish I could save some plants but may not have much other than pepper seeds and maybe, maybe some tomato seeds.
