Yup, lol
I never prune, I often mean too... Not many notes but lots of pictures that should help next year
I draw maps, I find then handy. First time I've ever taken notes though. Glad you say the tomatoes produce more without pruning, I've never gotten around to pruning lol

I pinch off a dead or yellow leave only. I don't have a problem getting tomatoes ripe- we can and use and give them away. I might build a drier someday this week. To try that. I think pruning helps if you are conserving water. Selleck Water Hauling brings me all I need.

Maps? I try not to get lost.

Lol to the maps comment
My greenhouse is oriented south to North and by mid season the centre is pretty shady, and most of the tomatoes are in the centre, the squash grow best near the back and the tomatoes grow in nearly full shade by July, the unshaded plants near the front ripen faster... I remove any damaged leaves I see, especially on the cucumbers who seem prone to rot.

Picture time. The first pic is the indigo rose the rest I'll have no clue until that are rip... Good thing the green German tomatoes are all in one spot so it shouldn't be too confusing...

LOVE your variety! We're planting another variety next year, a cherry tomato type because it's the only kind my husband likes that he KNOWS he likes. Got any suggestions? I've already looked at Tiny Tim.

Sweet million, chocolate cherry, my weird random orange cross pollination accident... Lol
They were good. I had yellow cherry tomatoes a few years ago, they were great too.
I don't even know how many kinds I have growing... 12 or more... Probably more.

Love the tomato pix! Dag-nab-it-all, whatever rodents are sneaking into the garden have destroyed my lettuce and parsley. Off to the store tomorrow for a solution to end this madness.

My dill fell victim to Black Swallowtail larvae.

Back of green bean climbers. Anyone have an idea of what's going on here?

Harvested lettuce today. A bit bitter but not more so than spinach would be and the leaves are VERY dark green. Also had to reorder a batch of seeds because my dang paypal sent the seller the wrong address. LUCKILY they responded and we agreed to cancel the payment so I could order with the right address. I've got nothing but good things to say about this seller, I got A LOT of my seeds for this year from them and I've not once been disappointed.

Strawberries are soon to be harvested and tomatoes are cropping up everywhere! It's a really good feeling to see my hard work paying off.

We've been enjoying the heck out of the French Breakfast Radishes. The greens are great in salads. I'm not a real radish fan, but the flavor and bite of these are very tolerable.


Anybody know of any other *mild* kinds of radishes?
