Trying to grow with this terrible weather!

I finally got all my tomatoes either caged or my version of Florida Stake Weaved today. They were getting tall enough that they were starting to fall over, not breaking but just falling. It is suppose to be in the 80's early in the week and end the week with frost and wintery mix!

We have already had 2-3 inches of snow since I planted them. In fact we have had freezing temperatures every week, since April 4th (the day I planted them).

I am starting to see a few blooms, so that is encouraging!

Hey Jay, nice job.

I see you use cages for your Cherry tomatoes.

I built this Trellis for my tomatoes.

Nice looking support system. Years ago, when we lived in a different town, we had a small garden like that. We ate pretty well from such a small space.

This weather is crazy, but we do have moisture. That is something that I couldn't say we had last year.
