I had to go quite a bit back to find this post again, I wanted to take a picture of my grandson watering his plants but we had so much rain this past weekend we didn't need to water. He brought home some scraggly looking tomato plants that seem to be thriving now. I remember telling you on the last post I was going to do some experimental gardening this year, I finally got it set up, I wanted to see if I build a wall behind these evergreens then put in a step down raised flower bed if they'd do well...so far things look pretty good, the only thing that didn't survive is some spinach I put in there.

That is what they looked like when he brought them home.

Now you see they are almost as tall as he is. His pepper plants are doing okay also given they are on the side that doesn't get morning sun just afternoon and evening.

I noticed one of them has several holes in the leaves like this one does so something is munching away at them.

He put some corn in one of my flower beds to make stalks for Halloween, I don't know how tall these stalks will be as they seem not to be growing very tall but are getting ready to form some corn...I wonder if they do something to them to genetically engineer them not to grow very tall but are still able to produce.

I was going to take a picture of a homemade tomato cage we made out of those white wood slats you see but my phone battery died so I guess I add that in the next post, we got the idea from someone on here who made their own but after making one that was about enough for me...lol, it's harder to do then one realizes though it looked rather easy from the post.

Yeah you'll have quite a issue if that tomato plants keeps on going, I don't ever think I've seen one quite that tall and once I had a tenant who use to work on a farm for a living and he could grow some tomato plants for sure, your plant puts all his to shame.
