I do have some pictures from early last week. I have one cherry tomato plant that produces literally thousands of cherry tomatoes in a year here. It's ****ing massive. 6 feet tall and close to that wide. It just produces and produces and never stops until about late June. Plan is to keep it alive through the summer and it will continue producing again come September and all through fall and early winter. Others have told me you can keep a single cherry tomato plant alive for years here and it will continue producing.

And the early girl tomato produces very well too. Lots of great shaped tomatoes with great color to them.

That's a 3 year old grapevine that I grew along the pool fence. First year it's been loaded with grapes.

I just covered them a few days ago.

I was given the idea to use wine gift bags or mess drawstring bags. I grabbed these off Amazon and they work well.

Wow, very impressive, well done!

Garden is doing great , pulled the first tomato last night. I started the plants from seeds on Dec 27th and they were getting huge inside the house so I put most of them out out the middle of March.

We had multiple late freezes and lost quite a few plants. Only have six left but they are doing great.

Planted bell pepper plants from seeds as well and have about a dozen doing great.

Been eating radishes, lettuce and cilantro out of the garden.

Nice that you can start plants in house. Our cat eats everything so it's not an option here. What varieties of tomatoes do you grow? I wanna branch out but early girls and cherry tomatoes are so easy.

I tried bell pepper one year and got nothing. Maybe I should try again.

We grow lettuce, radishes and cilantro in the winter here. The lettuce was a first for me and absolutely delicious and grew like a ****ing weed!

I’ve had insect issues since I moved to the woods last year and mentioned it to a buddy over beers one day. He showed up with a bottle of Talstar P last weekend and I finally got around to treating the exterior of the house Tuesday. For the first time, I’ve not found a spider in the house, which has been a daily struggle. Highly recommended if you have insect issues. Supposed to control 75 bug varieties and is pet and people safe.
