TY Dave!

Our tomatoes and peppers are coming along nicely. I have been taking pics and posting them from the beginning of this year as seedling up to this past weekend.

It is portable landfarmer, and it can be disassembled and reassembled in a couple minutes. Very handy.

Here's a few pics (scroll down) and info from 2008 when I built it.

Wow - what zone are you in?

I'm quite surprised - it seems I really have quite the head-start with my plantings. Each of my tomato plants are probably 1.5 feet tall now and have blooms on them. I had to pinch off some blooms a couple of weeks back because it was very cool and just too soon.

But now with the weather in the mid-80's here, they've really grown (about doubled in size) so I'll keep the blooms on.

I'd like to make a cold frame like this - but I already have too much junk around the house!

We're in NE zone 6. We started our seeds a two weeks later than we usually do. We usually plant around the 10th of May but last year we had a killer frost (28*) near the end of May that did some damage even though we had plants covered.
Because of the cold damp weather last year I ended up replanting the corn three times. This year I simply wanted to make sure the possibility of frost was over. We had 91* here yesterday and need rain. What a difference a year makes. Who knew.

I went to your blog and spent some time. I must commend you on what you have done there. Just an outstanding job!
The site I have was started for friends and distant relatives to view pics of mom and her garden. I post here
because I enjoy sharing as other do.

Here's a pic from 2008 when we started seeds nearly a month earlier than this year. We had a ripe tomato by July 4th.
