A new growing season is upon us. Some of you in CALI , Florida, way down south are close to harvest. Some of us have just planted out and still a lot of members up North, Northeast are struggling with cold. But springs and summers ALWAYS come.
So let us show some pictures, instead of talking. I will start myself. I just found my old Photobucket account, U/N, P/W and down loaded some pictures to be uploaded here. Lets see if it works.

(1) Probably cherokee Purple

(2) Sungold ....the tag says

(3) Silvery Fir Tree .... my favorite so far

(4) Radiator Charlie Mortgage Lifter
I bought it as a 6" plant about 3 weeks ago. It has already doubled in height

GREAT > It worked.

Ping pong ball for scale.

You've seen mine, but left to right Super Sweet 100, Reisentraube, and Early Girl.

The outer two are setting fair fruit, but the Reisentraube doesn't seem to like it here (or yet).

They'll have to stay in the house tonight (low of 37 expected early AM) but I hope to start hardening them off (bringing into garage at night the first few nights) this week. Looks like it may be possible to plant out around normal Mem. Day time but will have to keep an eye on the forecast.

One shelf out of 10 (2 other shelves of peppers) - Black Krim start 3/29 in 3.5" pots, others started 4/6 still in original cells - will separate those this week and pamper them a bit before hardening off.

ajsmam,
Glad to see your seedlings are coming along nicely. When will you be able to plant out ? In Southern Fairfield County they had a tradition of go ahead n plant after Mothers Day. I think further inland, to the north, there will be some difference. I remember, that Danbury, not to far away from the sound had different climate than say Norwalk, Westport

As I said in another post, Don't doubt spring and summer, they will always come.
Happy Gardening.

Black Cherry (left) and Sungold (right) grown in the ground:

Celebrity in a container made from a broken shop vacuum:

Left to right: Lemon Boy, Indigo Rose and Patio:

Early Girl and Large Red Cherry (and cucumber and pepper). Thinking about moving at least one of them because of the grape vine foliage getting too dense.

Husky Red Cherry + Celebrity:

Not tomatoes, but cucumbers in containers under a trellis built around a unused pool slide:

The challenges with this yard are: 1) too much shade from surrounding trees (not all ours) and 2) a lot of the space is taken up by a pool and a concrete area. So, I am experimenting with different growing methods at different areas.

Yes, they climbed up by themselves because they are SO desperate to get outside, and they won't believe me when I tell them how cold it gets overnight here!

Our weather in PNW is spring - like. lingering from lows of 43 to highs to 62F. We might get a bubble now and then but still it is on the COOL side. I think , being out there for over a month, my plants should've figured it out that this is it, got to live with it. :D

In the photo which is my new start are Rampo's in pellets, along with 3 Black Krims and 5 Black Cherry's (they are to the right but not visible in the photo). The photo below is 1 ramapo that went in to good mix and the other an early girl that I bought from a hardware store. I plan on buying more seedlings soon if worse comes to worse. I may even take a drive to CC Nursary

Sorry for the mishaps.

I think it is a good idea to buy more plants from nurseries, not to miss the early start in the season. Surprisingly, lately they sell a lot good heirloom and hybrids in the BBSs. I bough 3 myself: STUPICE, RC MORTGAGE LIFTER and JAPANESE TRIFEL BLACK.
They have a lot of good selection but I don't have the space.

Hope thinks work out well for you from now on.

Hudson, even growing such tomatoes, this early in greenhouse is a great accomplishment in WY.

In my case, I just had to find a way to deal with VERY COOL and long spring weather. Even some 35 days after plant out, tonight's low will be 43F. But help is on the way. Next week will be in 70s and low 80s. So I hope the worst is over for us here in PNW.

Next week I will take some fresh pictures.

SunGold and Sweet 100 cherry tomatos

Dixie Gold and Black Krim for color and taste

and here's Tomande.....a regular in our garden......

But the 2 that I posted before are doing well and almost ready to be planted..... I will post my otherphotos of the seedlings that I tried to germinate soon. But I think I got about 5 now with a few more to come.

- Mr beno

But nothing, nowhere close to yours, Centex. You beat us by months.
Well , I am so glad that little by little even our Yankee friend are planting out.

Have a productive season, all across the land from ocean to ocean !

3 of them are planted to start, I put a red dot to show you the ones that were today. It was perfect temps and they were hardened off. In another 2-4 weeks I will do the rest. I also in the backround are the overwintered peppers which are coming around.

But thte goal this year is to plant the maters in the 9 20- gal bags and a few in the dirt! It was a rought start but making it through!

Greastest of Luck To all of you :)

They are all Beefsteak.
NAR, Crustolee, Red Brandywine, Another type Brandywine, Kellogs Breakfast, Green Giant, Hillbilly, Black Krim, and some I forget, will hafta checks tags.

They have fruit on them about the size of "Flattened Golf Balls"~~~see next post

Kind of amazing as we had "Santa Ana Winds", 50 mph gusts and temps well over 100F

Gary

I took this picture just today.

Silvery Fir Tree

Co planted some lettuce

So far so good, considering that traditional plant out here is Mothers Day. But I did it 6 weeks early.

My super sweet 100 continues to amaze.

It only remains to be seen if things ripen in June Gloom.

John, that cherry is loaded.
Meelonhedd, my Stupice is in full blood. I am counting days to see a tiny green tomato. Any day now. Probably my Bloody Butchers will be the first.

No need to wish you guys good luck. You've already got it.

EDIT:
melonhedd, I noticed one of your tomatoes pecked, maybe by a bird ? I leave some water under/near the plants for birds, this way they drink the water and won't peck the maters.

Keep on keeping on. And don't forget to do some preventive fungal spraying. I use Neem oil spray, which is environmentally harmless.
An ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure !

Anyway, it is exciting, after all those long winter months germinating, growing under lights .. finally to see some flowers and fruits.

Anyway the top picture is 3 early girls surrounded by a Ramapo, or should I say 3 Early Girls are eyeing him down :). I added a 3rd Early girl yesterday from the previous photo that I put on here.

The bottom photo is more of my Ramapos from last years seeds along with a couple of Black Cherrys and not in the photo is the 2 Black Krims and a Yellow kelloggs Beef Steake that I will also plant out. I plan on hardening off the ones under lights within the next few days. I will probably just buy more MG mix for planting in the Bags.

In the backround is are few overwintered Hot Pepeprs and last years hot peppers that will be replaced.

I am excited. Will it be ripe by or before The Fourth of July?

It is growing on one of my SILETZ plants. As seen, there are few more coming along a little behind.
