I just got my tomatoes in the ground this week. Zone 4/5. We have had wild Spring weather, to say the least!

Still have space in The Big Garden to plant, but I’m mostly done. Yay!

Rain today and tomorrow, so I’ll just stay in and catch up on housework...

NOT! LOL! :)

My wife has a chance of ripe tomatoes by July 4th. Two plants have come on very strong for some reason

Presently her garden is providing kilt lettuce and snow peas

We have been raising some of our tomatoes upside down in hanging baskets. Has worked out really well, especially for cherry tomatoes of different varieties. Also peppers. You can buy pots called “Topsy turvey” to do,so, but you can make them yourself too. We hang them from the eves outside- we don’t do too many, maybe 5 or so pots, and pick and eat tomatoes as we head out the door to the car. Makes nice snacks for the drive. Last year the upside down plants were absolutely loaded with low acid sweet cherry tomatoes and peppers too.
