Batten Down The Hatches!

My mater plants are now over six feet tall and loaded up with lots of maters!




Good thing our new tent arrived. I'm using some of the stakes to help tie things down for the tropical storm winds that are supposed to start up this evening ...


The bad news: Yesterday I found two tomatoes that appear to have the same issue Dad's "Rocky" had. I performed an autopsy on them to see what might be the cause, but so far your guess is as good as mine ...


The good news: So far none of the other maters appear to have it, including my TWO big boys shown below. I managed to measure out 9" on a piece of twine, and wrap it around to check, and both are qualifiers for size. Unfortunately I'm a bit short handed on photography help here, so you'll have to take my word for it until I can have a neighbor take the picture while I measure them. Nate isn't tall enough, and he's still working on his photography skills. No doubt he's a charmer, but I'd be lucky if he got a framed shot of my butt :)
