OMG, two months ago I was for sure they were goners! Now there are tomatoes all over the place. My fear now is an early frost :duc

I totally understand!

We planted ours too late, and then the devil's summer hit. We just kept watering them every day hoping for a miracle, even though we were told they wouldn't do anything since it had gotten so hot.

But we had just lost a whole bunch more crops due to various things, including poor planning, and we were just happy that we had live plants and wanted to not let them die.

Well, we kept watering, and then after the rains finally started coming again, out of 7 plants, 2 blossomed and made about 5 little tomatoes. So hopefully we'll get a couple of bites for all our hard work. :)

You and Mother Nature = A Team!

It's great when there's a reward at the end of a long road.

Isn't it great, when one day it looked like the tomatoes weren't going to make then all of a sudden their healthy and producing plenty of them. Its pretty amazing how it can change.

Enjoy your reward!!
You deserve it ;)
