tomato plant progress june 4

progress as of june 4 2008 , the Amelia tomato is not liking the heat but is healty and the best producer so far. the better boy and german yellow tomatos are also producing fruit but the heat has slowed them a litle.

the sweet peppers suffered aphid damage but spraying them with garlic pepper tea seems to have helped alot and they are still growing. only time will tell how they do

I have one question, how do you reach your hand inside the cage to pick the tomatoes?

@navyavi469 these cages were so short I just reached down into them

cut holes in parts of the cages for easyer acces inside, also you can raised them next time so the bottom of the cage meets the top of your pot, this gives you alot more cage to work with. just make sure to tie it down or the wind will blow it and bend your plant upside down, it happened 7 times to my BB but she is still producing strong.

If you have problems with the cages collapsing or getting your hands inside to pick try cattle fence instead you can see what it is in my most recent vid if your interrested.Keep gardening and eating good tomatoes.

Looks good! I think I'm going to try the pepper spray too. I'm having problems with aphids on my cucumber plants and DE dust (org. pest control) isn't phasing them.
