The tomato orchard is in full swing!

  The garden is coming along , we now have approximately 400 tomato's in various forms of ripening. With all the different varieties, it's almost as if we were watching a daily race to see what's producing the fastest.
  The remaining vegetables are getting bigger, our peppers took off in growth with the recent heat wave, however the rain has been sparse this week. Our ability to water them, with the suspension of the watering ban , came in the nick of time.

                                                                              
             
  The plant above is a Roma, it's looking real good, so far the Tropic VF, Principie Borguise,Black Krim , Zebra, and the Black Krim are bearing a lot of fruit. We had a little problem with an Aussie, however I think it was it needed water, so far we have only had to replace 1 plant out of 154.
                                                            

      Above , are the cucumber racks I've made so they can be lifted horizontally off the ground, this is a new technique we are using this year as opposed to the trellis  type , looking forward to seeing how this works out.

   The squash & zuchinni are starting to bear fruit , we should be picking our first fruits at the end of the week .
