Late summer harvest
width=”550″ height=”412″ /> One of the good things about a cold summer is still getting harvests of summer vegetables now into October. Got another cucumber for summer fall pickles and some tomatoes I have ripening inside which this weekend I used to make some low carb pizzas. One thing I was especially excited about was my jalapenos finally getting ready to be picked which I will dry and make…

Compost bin tomato bears fruit
For anyone that has been following the success (or maybe lack of success) of my compost bin volunteer tomato plant, it has nearly taken over the compost bin and finally did bear fruit. What is interesting is that it seems to look like an ugly tomato, which I have grown from seed nor purchased from the grocery store or farmer’s market. I guess the plot thickens, could just be…

10 Tips for growing tomatoes in the Northwest
alt=”2682″ width=”550″ height=”367″ /> Unfortunately we do not have no where near the preferred climate to grow tomatoes. We have extremely mild temperatures with summer maximum average high of 78°F and maximum average lows of 59°F. Take that with our very short window of consistent rain (bringing blight) tomato plants are lucky to even be surviving when planted in our area let alone have a tremendous yield, though with…

- cilantro | salmonella | tomato
Ok, so now where did the the cilantro go?
Well I wrote a couple weeks about my surprise of the missing tomoatos, last week I went back to my favorite Mexican restaurant at work and noticed cilantro has also been removed as a choice of condiments. Going back to my desk I discovered that cilantro and peppers have been added to the list of produce that has been reported tainted with salmonella. With the whole law of supply…

Cheap fogger hydroponics final results
In case you missed them here is the original post on the creation of this fogger hydroponic system, and the latest update (before this one). The plants still are still looking pretty healthy with the exception of a little phosphorus deficiency, but the blame goes on me for that one. Been a little busy at work and have been neglecting the plants. I decided to end this experiment since…

Sorry to hear that you don’t yet have any tomatos, but here in southern France we do! We have strings of many many cherry tomatos, a few of which have turned red, and the official First Tomato Of The Year To Eat ceremony was about a week ago! Best of luck with yours soon!
I have the first of my roma tomatoes just starting to show a blush. Weather has been weird/stupid this year.(too wet and not very hot until this past weekend), and we all know tomatoes are heat gluttens.
On a good note, I will be pickling cucumbers this weekend,(I think I planted WAY too many cukes) and may just have the first ripe tomatoe.
I’m in southeastern Wisconsin and we also have lots of blossoms but no fruit. I visited family in central Wisconsin and they had a lot of green fruit. I think the difference (other than a garden that’s in 100% full sun) is they started their seeds with lamps, where I only started my seeds near the window. They were only started about a week apart…
Hello from Belgium! Not a single tomato embryo here neither, despite plants that look quite vigorous and numerous flowers.
I could have done it entirely wrong, though, because this is my first attempt at gardening. I’ve also put some suckers in seedling pots and see if they want to root – if so, I might hang them upside down using your directions and save some space in the veg patch 😉
Best wishes,
Sophie
No tomatoes down the hill here either, just the blossoms, however I think a few peppers in the greenhouse are finally starting to appear (Cayenne).
Hopefully we will soon see the fruits of our labors.
Glad I am not the only one, hope we have a late first freeze…if not might be ripening green tomatoes in the garage this year.
woo hoo!.. I got my first ripe tomatoe yesterday( a paste type).. granted it was a small roma, and not a whole lot of taste, but still, its the first of what I hope are many, many more to come.(now if only the other varieties will ripen)
Teresia, finally got my first fruit to show up. Hopefully there are more to come shortly.
