[Eric in the Ozarks]

The pix posted by tubebender are from our garden at Lake of the Ozarks in Missouri. The lower leaves on these determinate tomatoes withered and turned brown so we clipped and removed them. The tops are plenty leafy. Our indeterminate paste tomatoes didn't get whatever this was so no clipping was needed.

The bottom leaves apparently caught some kind of mold, I think, from being planted too close together in very warm weather. Anyway, the plants are flourishing with some extra air space and watered by drip irrigation from our sprinkler system. We're keeping green with water from the lake.

The local garlic lady will have some hard neck to sell at this morning's farmer's market. She got a 1st place award last year at the Missouri State Fair in Sedalia.
I've mailed her hard neck garlic all over the US and even to a pen pal in Yokohama who loves the stuff.

I saw the pictures tubebender posted for you.
Nice maters.

I planted four tomatoes in 10 gallon pots this year. First time I’ve done that.

Those cages look interesting. What brand/type are they?
