Tomatoes on steroids???

I'm used to seeing tomatoes get to 6 feet in August but have never seen them over 5 feet in June! With the rate they're growing they'll be taller than my hubby (he's 6'2") very soon. Being a 'shrimp' myself they're already towering over my head :o)

    1. It will take a while to get tomatoes out of these babies - they are all late varieties so I won't expect anything soon.

  2. I compared a photo of my "shed tomatoes" from last year with one from this year, and what a difference! Mine are at 4' and 5' too, and last year they weren't hardly visible in the photo, maybe 2' to 3' tall! BUT...last year one of them gave me a ripe tomato on June 21, and this year they aren't even close.

    1. Last year my first tomato was Black Krim and it was on July 24. Let's see how they're doing in a month. But they are definitely much stronger and alot more blooms than last year.

    1. Everything is growing tall this year - my potatoes normally get to about 2 feet and this year they were over 4 tall.

  6. I admit that before I noticed just how big and lush your tomato plants are, I was a little distracted by the cute husband standing among them...
