I don't have pictures of my entire garden but I did take some random pictures this morning. I have stuff growing on my deck, in the ground, and in a raised bed. I have 18 tomato plants in total, they are not all pictured below.

Potatoes

Looking good, Christa ,...Potatoes, chard, watermelons, .. and of course tomatoes. They are loaded with blossoms. Get ready for big harvest . This is just the beginning of the season for most of us...

Keep on, keeping on !

Nice! I'm also growing Indigo Apple, first time for me. I still have a long ways to go until I see any fruit. But here we go...

Container Tomatoes on my deck:

From left to right: Azoychka, Aussie Heirloom, Chocolate Stripes, Sweet Orange Cherry, Brandywine Suddath's Strain.

My Sweet Orange Cherry already has a few fruit.

Ground Tomatoes:

Back row, from left to right: Indigo Apple, Ghost Cherry, Matt's Wild Cherry.

Front row, from left to right: Gold Medal, Aunt Ginny's Purple, Hugh's.

I couldn't get a good photo of my ground toms. Interestingly, my container tomatoes are doing far better than my ground tomatoes.

My Matt's Wild Cherry was also one of the first to start producing fruit.

New fruit setting on Cherokee purples, big beefs, and Brandywines

Brandy, have some questions about your potted tomatoes on your deck.......are they determinate, how many hours of direct sun, how large are your pots, and have you grown tomatoes in those pots before and if so, how did they do?

Pcola, Great looking garden by the way! Bet you spend many enjoyable hours outside in your little slice of heaven - am I right? I especially like your potato growing set-up. I assume you keep mounding around the plant and add wood to the sides as you go.....great idea! I'd like to try something like that. Do you think it's way too late to get some into the ground (I'm in Pac N.W Canada) ?

I am working on the support system.

Initially each indet plant gets a 4ft stake. But that is not quite enough. Most indets grow well over 6 ft tall. That is why I need to do something else. It is like a wooden frame built on each raised bed.

Here is one I started yesterday bout not final. Need to add more to it.The top of the 4 corner poles are 7ft high from the top of soil.

There framed bed is behind the bed seen in the picture.

For the determinants the structure is just about 5ft tall

I have found out that a single stake is not enough even though I prune a lot of branches .

Hi Harry,

Yes I've grown tomatoes in those same pots last year, they did horribly. This year, all of my deck tomatoes are indeterminate. They get around 5-6 hours of sunlight. I'm not sure about the size of the pots, if I had to guess I would say 5-7 gallons. The only difference between this year and last year is that last year I bought my tomatoes from a nursery, whereas this year I grew all of my tomatoes from seed. And last year I was using a granular fertilizer for my tomatoes, and this year I'm using a water-soluble tomato fertilizer. I'm guessing I am having better luck with my tomatoes this year because granular fertilizers don't work very well for container toms.
