You are doing well for a potted garden. I strongly believe that people who live in areas where garden space is hard to come by, need to learn what you are doing. Keep up the good work!
Your tomatoes are growing well! You know what cured my Blossom End Rot? Epsom Salts. It says online that if the plant already has BERot it nothing can help it but I used Epsom Salts and the rest of the tomatoes turned out perfect! I made a liquid solution first and then spread some more on the soil. Read up about it because it really works! Also, you can cut that bottom stuff off and the rest tomato is still good. How did your tomato tasting adventure go?
@FreidasGarden -- It went quite well, actually. I flimed a "tour" through the festival, I still need to get the editing done so I can upload the videos. The tomatoes were yummy. Some of my bigger tomatoes are a little slow to ripen, but I think its because here in the mid-western part of California, we never really had a summer. Its been pretty cool here (and downright COLD at night) all season. Very unusual for us. Tomato size is fine though. I'll try the epsom salt :)
My gosh you have a lot of tomatoes. You'll be in tomato heaven in another couple of weeks. Outside of the blossom end rot, they are all looking very good too. The peppers you saved from the Topsy Turvey should be just fine. Looks like you did everything right by them. Very nice. Thanks for the update.
Great job on your plants. The only advice I have would be to try to support your plants a bit better . When I support the branches and the stem of my plants I always double my yield and get way bigger fruit size. When the plant has to work more it puts it's energy towards the support and not the fruit. Especially when u have plants hanging and gravity does the work to weigh things down branch wise and therefore making the plant use more energy especially if your starting to grow fruit everywher
@jaytheraver -- I agree, if I can get some thicker stronger stakes (like maybe a 1-inch x one-ch board or something, that woudl be much better. It has to be something I can move with the pots, because I move them to follow the sun around my patio during the day and all. I too have noticed that well-supported plants have better fruit :)
everything looks great GC, about that brandy wine you got on the plate, ever thought of some fried green tomato? that stuff is awesome. I think your peppers are going to be just fine, especially with you tending to them, they are so lucky, justkarmatoo is exactly right, you seem to be such a caring gardener, at least that's what i perceive of you from watching your video. keep up the good work and keep them videos coming.
@wmkk808 -- Thank you, actually fried green tomatoes does sound kinda good... Maybe coat them in a corn meal batter, and use some olive oil :) Very tempting!
Interesting, looks like you are going to have a nice bunch of tomatoes when they ripen up. I bet its kind of frustrating watching and waiting and waiting.. You are about the most caring gardener I've seen on you-tube and I hope you stay that way. Keep up the good work.
i really need to see u wgile gardening..:-)

@garygardens -- Thank you, the bell peppers are really taking off now, they are pulling up straight mroe and mroe, and sprouting a few new leaves.
