Not just this season, but the first I've grown in my whole adult life.
Juliet Hybrid cherry tomatoes. We didn't start this plant by seed; it was a freebie from a local nursery. It was a lot shorter then.
Do birds like cherry tomatoes? I'm praying not.
What's that in the table planter?
A healthy crop of milk jugs.
Or
A tomato plant in each one. The milk jug trick may be common knowledge among gardeners, but I learned it from my mom...ages ago, long before I ever cared about sweating over plants in June humidity. She cut the bottoms out of gallon jugs and used them as mini greenhouses while the tomato plants were still small.
I transferred these plants just today, and there's the prediction of a storm tonight, so hopefully these will get a good drink without being battered.
I haven't lost any of my plants yet.
Yet.
