Something is coming out of my compost bin!! – Update
The volunteer tomato plant that has been growing out of my compost bin definitely looks healthy but given its rapid foliage growth and no fruit I guess I don’t need to do any soil tests to confirm my compost is high in nitrogen. Note to self, don’t grow tomatoes in pure compost.

Life in the growbox
Right about now the temperatures outside should be increasing and I should be thinking about start hardening off my summer plants over the next few weeks. Unfortunately we seeing hail the past few days along with some pretty cold nights. Looks like even though I was fairly pessimistic about my last frost date I may have another battle of tomatoes/peppers over taking the growbox or bring them out into…

My Tomato Planting Adventures
width=”488″ height=”366″ /> Tomato Plants are not known for being forgiving. They are not beginner plants. Tomatoes give seasoned gardeners nightmares. So why is it that I keep torturing myself by trying and trying to grow them? Maybe I like a challenge. Maybe I think that I’ll do better with a difficult crop, since my luck with “easy” plants is sporadic at best. Maybe I really like Salsa. Ok,…

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…

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…

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.
