Tip-toeing through the tomatoes!

The tomato plants have really taken a liking to our place. I spent the afternoon yesterday tying up branches to trellises, cages and our Florida weave system. I also pruned the bottom leaves back to keep everything off the ground to lessen the chance of bugs and disease. The Travelers and purple Cherokees all have blossoms and/or fruit, but our Brandywines still look like they are struggling after their rough start. The soaker hose and hay mulch method seems to be keeping everything else moist and happy. We should be getting our packaging, labels and flats next week and then it is off to market! We'll keep you posted.
