I planted Roma and was happy but their not real big.

Are these big and are they good for Container planting?

A single tomato can get pretty large,up to two + pounds is possible. The plants can get really big too being an indeterminate variety.  I've grown them in lightweight potting soil in big mineral tubs with drain holes that are secured to the ground with a t post and tomato cages because they can get quite top heavy

My other melon was looking might tasty this morning. this 95-97° heat wave we're having sucks, hasn't rained in weeks. The ground is rock hard like concrete. Trees and other plants are starting to die off from the drought. Having to water my stuff every day or so.

Still getting a lot of cocktail tomatoes about 500+ avg. every few days . The plants are all huge and peaking now. Would have been better had we had some rain 😞

The pinks are doing fine but not as good as the could be . Gardens need rainwater not city water...I removed all their suckers  without  tomatoes hanging on them  to allow the remaining green ones to grow bigger and ripen in time as the season winds down. Did a quick count and found around 380  or so bigger green ones. I didn't count all of the maters,,  a lot of them will need at least another month to 6 weeks. 🤞

Here's today's pull, and rain is coming so I don't want cracks, these pinks are so thin skinned. 

One cocktail bush filled a cake pan. Lost two of these plants this Summer just recently.

Well things I found this year. Fall Garden isn’t all that might as well plant a bunch in Spring.

I found I really rather have Bush Beans over Pole.

If you’re going to plant Jalapeños with Sweet Banana Peppers make sure you know which is which.

Cattle Panels can be good but once you plant along them your are committed.
