Tomato Update, June 17

Tomatoes are all doing well -- unlike last year, I haven't lost any plants. And every one has at least one fruit. The Celebrity plant in the front has 18! They're getting very tall and I had to install extra supports for the Early Girl, which contrary to promises, has fruited very little and late. The Patio is best after the Celebrity and the Yellow Pear is doing well, too. The first Patio (the one that was upside down) turned color in the last couple of days -- first sign of ripe fruit! The heirloom has one tomato; let's hope it tastes good.

I fertilized all the plants with manure tea this weekend and so far they have been relatively pest free -- killed my first caterpillar tonight.
