Great pics Ella! Love the creative use of the scaffold.

James, it was B-Day present from my DH. I came home and it was already installed. My son and my husband covered it in plastic later on to make a cold greenhouse. I set one batch of tomatoes at least a month earlier than the rest of them. It was April 6. We will see whether tomatoes in that bed start producing a month earlier or not.
This scaffolds are not cheap. For the present like that it is great. Much better then some jewelry that would be used few times. I would be happy to get another scaffold for my next B-D.

Gorgeous photos, as always, Ella!

They all looks like they are setting really well. I am excited to see how some of the lesser known varieties you are growing turn out!

Cheers!

Thank you, Kelli and Vladimir.

Wanted to take pictures of a few small cucumbers. One of them was already about 2 inches: Long Japanese (Suyo). Few more small of different varieties.
They were gone. I think squirrels got them. It was raining the last 3 days and a lot. It was not that they needed water.
I have not picked a single cucumber yet.

I do not like squirrels.

Beautiful tomatoes as usual. Do you ever have problems with early or late blight?

Yes, EB. 3 years in a row we have rainy June. I just cut lower leafs to give them some air flow. Already getting some discolorations. Few tomatoes do not survive even to give first batch last couple of years (Amazon Chocolate was one of them).
Spider mites finishing them once the weather get dry.

Xanadu (bl ,RL)
Name of that one may change. Seeds are from Marsha/Gigner2778. She is still working on that variety. They are looking nice. Beautiful stripes.
Thanks for sharing, Marsha.
