Thanks for stopping by. My tomato plants are getting so tall! I've been wondering if I should prune some of the bushiness away..so the sun can get in. I've harvested 6 cukes so far! Nice site!

That was on the recommendation of my significant other, who has a lifetime of gardening experience on me. It's not too late, either, we just re-dosed 'em this weekend, tilling in some more manure around the base of each plant (and aerating the soil in the process). Maybe the sudden death of your tomatoes has a different cause: Perhaps all those little teenage vandals you have over there in Natomas were offering their opinion on your curfew idea. ;-) Hope you can salvage some of them...nothing's better than fresh, homegrown tomatoes. I cannot wait for mine to be ready (and I'll share the booty, of course!).

We planted THREE tomato plants and ALL of them withered away like they had been in the path of an atomic bomb flash. We have an all new definition for "fried green tomatoes" over here. What's your secret? Ok we’re going to need some help. We planted THREE tomato plants and ALL of them withered away like they had been in the path of an atomic bomb flash.
