Tomatoes

This year was not a good year for tomatoes here in zone 5b, not enough hot days and too much rain or cloudy days this summer.  The cherry tomatoes did well, but of course it’s because they are small and takes less time to ripen.

We’ve are having a record amount of rain for the month of June,  my tomatoes have grown so large and already have tomatoes developing.

Cherry Tomatoes has lots of tomatoes on it already but the foliage is so lush and full I cannot seem to capture a photo of them.

This year I am trying a Lemon Boy Tomato,  they have less acid and is a yellow tomato.

Mother nature is amazing,  just in the last two days of rain the tomatoes doubled in size and height.   Since we are getting so much rain I put down some epsom salt to maintain the nitrogen levels in the soil and to prevent blossom rot.
