    Man, that tomato plant sounds interesting...are they ready to pick yet?...yep a pic would be a good idea



    No they are still all green some are near baseball sized, but their growing in clumps of 4-6. The cage their in is starting to give way. I stuck one dowel rod in for some support but now their at my neighbors fence.

    Some will die in hot pursuit
    And fiery auto crashes
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    While sifting through my ashes
    Some will fall in love with life
    And drink it from a fountain
    That is pouring like an avalanche
    Coming down the mountain

    I started them a little bit late, sometime after Memorial Day. Around here most people don't put anything in the ground until after that weekend. Hell you can still get frost on them. Probably the same up by you.

    I'll probably have to freeze some of them into sauce as I'm the only one who eats them here. Maybe a tomato giveaway.[;)]

    Yep I have two of the Walla Walla yellow onion variety. Says they come to full term in 112 days. Only thing is I forgot what day I planted them. So if I go by the theory I planted them about the first week in June they've got about 60 or so more days to go.

    The funny or odd thing is they get only about 4 hours of direct sun light a day. Don't have to water them much as we've been getting rain almost every other day. The only thing we planted that didn't really take was the dill.

    Didn't know that rookie mistake they were pretty close, so I'll try that next year. I have chives left of the cilantro and the dill was to the right. Hey but we made it to page 3. [:D][:D][:D][:D]

    I would have planted some Parsley but I have a ton of the dried stuff.
    I know not the same but this was our first try. The kale we have is doing great as well.

    The one Kale plant we have is pretty big as well. I mentioned to her that I think its time to harvest. I have no clue as to how big it gets.

    I pulled up 23 of my 25 plants this weekend. Mine were all done. I have processed 3 wheelbarrows full so far[:0] Try a product by the name of "mater magic" from the lowes or home depot. Also, if you are watering daily, stop!! you stress the plant a little and it will begin to ripen the fruit.

    as far as Kale, you harvest the larger leaves and then allow them to continue growing, just like with collards. Kale, as well as other greens are usually better after a frost, as it makes them less bitter, although I grew them through the summer anyway. I pulled out my collards a month ago and replanted for fall crops. Kale, collards, brussle sprouts, spinach, peas, broccoli, cauliflower, radishes, etc.
