Twenty one tomato plants each received a pail of rain water collected from my house roof. Water was transported via wheelbarrow. Two wheelbarrows full is sufficient. Tomatoes are thriving but no ripe ones as yet.

Eighteen tomato plants were tied by strings for overhead support. The support was put up a few days ago. The tomatoes were purchased and kept in my greenhouse awaiting the end of frosts. The tomato plants (18) are lemon boy 3,cherokee carbon 3,Beefsteak 3,San Merando 3,Glamor 3, Ultra 2, Candyland red 1. This was the selection being sold. Strings will be added as the season progresses as needed to support the fruit bearing branches. The area will be heavily mulched with wood chips partially composted.

I didn't grow from seed this year due to miserable weather so had to buy what was available.
