| I had a ton of tomatoes in early summer but with the preparation for the contractors and their arrival and the work on the house, and the heat, the tomatoes slowed down (but the peppers are doing great). I cut back the tomatoes and am getting new growth on 4, and I think I'll buy a few plants. Hopefully, there will be a nice crop in the fall. |
Follow-Up Postings:
|
| lucille, what varieties did you plant this year ? |
|
| Various cherries, and a few Better Boys. Everything seems to stop producing in August, not matter what the variety. Of course it didn't help that I didn't water while the contractors were there. |
|
| Any cherry that you liked ? |
|
| Liked Supersweet 100. Probably will not grow Matt's Wild Cherry again. Loved Blondkopfchen. |

| Good luck lucille, my climate is the same as Galveston's, and my sun intensity the same as Houston. We will both be hoping together for something to show for fall. Houston's winters are 2-4 degrees F cooler, meaning frost in early December, so if you already have mature plants you are in great shape. I started from seed 5 weeks ago and my fingers are crossed with you that we have no early freezes, our frost date being around Dec 24. Hope to be counting tomatoes along with you! PC |
