Rain, Rain…..you know the rest. All this rain has seriously dampened even my motivation to write. The second wettest June on record. And it’s not doing the garden any good at this point. We’re hoping for a better conditions on the 4th.
Some good news, though, we picked our first tomatoes this week. As usual, they were a couple of Sweet 100’s. But when I picked ’em I realized I hadn’t even posted this years line-up. So, here it is:
Sweet 100’s
Chocolate Cherry
Gold Nugget (also a cherry)
Ramapo
Moreton
Costoluto Genovese
Cherokee Purple
Pineapple
Old German
Purple Russian
Brandywine
Old Italtian Plum
Super Marzano
For a total 25 plants. At least initially. We’ve already lost one of the Sweet 100’s. It turned yellow from the base up in just over a week. Weird.
