I am *always* interested in hearing about your garden! (Just so you know. *g*)
Yay! I remember you recently posted about your garden, and I was all "oh, cool, she gardens too!" and meant to comment, and then never got to it (I, uh, do that a lot...).
My tomatoes are all still maddeningly green. ::sulk::
Oh, most of mine are, too. Out of four tomato plants, only three cherry tomatoes have gotten ripe enough to pick so far. The rest are still green. *sigh* The Brandywine hasn't even set fruit yet, and the roma and the yellow pear heirloom both have lots of fruit in various stages of growth, but nothing is even remotely ready to pick yet.
I've only got 2 varieties that made it through trial-by-toddler. *g* Sun King and roma -- I've never tried Sun King before, but they're turning out to be *huge* fruits.
I tried those red plastic tomato trays this year for the first time, and they really do seem to have resulted in more fruit than I've gotten in years past. I used them on my yellow peppers too, and it also seems to have helped there. I think I'm a convert!
