I did two really dumb things last year: I waited until the tomatoes really needed a cage, by which point it was much too late. And I didn't mark which tomatoes were where.
This year, cages are in place long before need, with tape on the cage marking the color of tomato planted there.
Shy tomato.
Veggie painting the second. Watercolor and gouache on paper.
You can plant the stem of a #tomato horizontal as described in my old book of organic gardening from the 80ths. Every hair on the stem will become a root and make the plant healthier.

You know the expression "#Intelligence is knowing that a #tomato is a fruit, #wisdom is knowing not to put tomatoes in a fruit salad"?
This statement says intelligence is about knowing facts, and wisdom is about applying knowledge.
That's wrong on so many levels, and it's been bothering me for a while now. So time for a good old-fashioned #rant.
Jetzt weiß ich, was eine kältetolerante Tomatensorte auszeichnet – ein wolliger Pelz.
Die Sorte ‚Sanka‘ steht zur Akklimatisierung im Gewächshaus und beginnt zu blühen. Sollte sie den April überleben gibt es Ende Mai/Anfang Juni vielleicht die erste Freilandtomate.
My 'Mikado' tomato seedlings graduated to 4" pots today. I am so proud of them. #tomato #tomatoes #gardening #seedlings #solanum #allotment #VegetableGardening
We did it! The plants should arrive around 4 May. We've always wanted to grow something and now here is our chance.
Here's to our 2025 gardening adventure!

Hey #Gardening people - we're thinking about ordering some #heirloom tomato plants from the #Chicago #Tomato Man. We are complete novices at this and need some guidance.
- We need to grow in an apartment (dwarf or tabletop) or on our balcony in a south-facing building with lots of sunlight.
- We do a lot of #Indian cooking.
- We don't have a lot of experience with tomatoes.
Here is a link to what is available:

Thanks!
it´s not weed plantation, just tomatoes on the sun growing, little troublemakers

First sunshine in many days.
Mellie was happy to be able to walk without getting soaking wet.
The #balcony looks really empty, only a few #flowers, some #strawberries and one #tomato plant this season.
Getting ready to sell the #apartment.

Because sometimes seeing is believing, here are my seeds, placed in a small plastic bag and juice box. #germination #gardening #plants #food #tomato #peppers #garden #Summer2025
Final major harvest from my eight San Marzano tomato plants. More than 12L that weighed out at 6kg. This brings the total harvest to 18kg this year.
Most productive variety of tomato that I’ve ever grown.
Sauce time!
My other favourite germination trick is so simple. Place the seeds on paper kitchen towels, lock them in a clear zip baggie, spray the paper towel a few times and zip the bag.
During the day I place the bags near a sunlit window sill, at night I place them near the baseboards (thanks Canadian winter:-)). No need for expensive heating pads/mats.

This is chaos, a chaotic method that has served me well in my newbie gardener journey.
Juice box, open it horizontally, make some drainage holes in the bottom, fill with soil, scatter seeds (no measuring, no distancing).
Once seedlings are hearty enough, I transplant them to individual containers (which once true leaves appear will go into their permanent container).
I have grown a very large #tomato.
Heirloom variety Black Krim. Quite delicious.
Okay, Maybe I was getting a little excited about bread 4. I think I really nailed it with this one! I added some sun dried tomatoes, and a little feta cheese. I also think I finally got the gluten and windowpane tests right with this one.
It makes delicious salmon grilled cheese sandwiches! I couldn't resist
Bread 5 is coming.... but I ran out of whole wheat bread- and the once voracious starter (tripled in size on its feeding for bread 4) is now growing tired of bread flour. I gotta get different flour, so I added in 1 percent commercial yeast for bread 5. Basil an rosemary are in the next loaf :)
I already ate half of the loaf- the other half is for crit night- tomorrow at 6pm at Urbanglass
