WOW!!! You're ahead of me. Where did you keep it during the frost?

In my garage....I had 2 but the other one didn't make it.

It looks like its pretty close with the one you had in your recent pic.

looks good phat

What kind?

Sun gold, it's a sweet cherry type. The kids like them. The larger plants are still under the lights

very nice, I use cherry red and super sweet 100.

Those sun gold tomatoes and the super sweet 100's are both delicious.

I've got some super sweet 100's under the lights....they might get out after this weekend

I'm trying to stick with heirlooms for my tomatoes this year. I got some leaf curl when I transplanted them to the bigger buckets but I think they'll make it. Any tips to boost flavor/yield?

side note my strawberries are looking good and already fruiting. I'd post pics but I don't wanna be put to shame with my "city garden"

I put composted chicken manure in the hole before I planted my tomatoes. Once planted, I sprayed them with Garrett Juice. You might be able to boost the yield but I don't know about the flavor. There are some fertilizers you can buy that are specifically for tomatoes.

Just post the pics man

Yeah, you know that nobody ever gets dog piled on in here.

My wife and I got ours planted last weekend.

real nice

Has the fenced in part always been a garden?

Yes, I started gardening about 4yrs ago. We have several wild dogs that run around our area and they were digging up in the garden. I had some leftover tin from my shop, so I put it on the bottom and then put the fence on top of that. I don't have to worry about rabbits now either and I normally put that bird netting around and on top to keep the birds from getting my tomatoes. I bought chickens last year so I built that coop next to the garden and I just did the unfenced garden this year for corn and potatoes. We really enjoy it and get the kids involved with it.

I had to put a fence around my garden because my dogs were eating the tomatoes off of the vine.

I will eventually put a fence around mine. My dogs end up blasting through at warp speed two or three times a week. They pretty much know not to, but sometimes they are running through so fast & come around the corner it's too late.

Very nice Priddy

Hooligan, I doubt anybody dog piles in this thread.

Very cool setup Priddy!!

Nothing wrong with city gardens (I think we are all country at heart). I have about 80+/- sqft of garden and use 5 gallon buckets to plant tomatoes in. When I transplant into the buckets or ground I always put half cup or so of ag. lime and some blood/bone mix to give the plants more calcium and minerals. I have some strawberries as well and Ill post some pics of my salvaged flower planters I put them in.

Here we go again. I just watched the latest Houston weather forecast. They were forecasting lows near 40 degrees for Sunday, and Monday night untill the latest. Now it 39 degrees, with frost as far south as Conroe. I'm south of that but out in the country. We're at least 5 degrees colder than Houston. That puts me on the bubble.

My neighbor lost all his tomatoes with this forecast a couple of weeks ago. My garden is next to a pond. That might have helped keep the frost down.

We need to get together and figure out a plan. I don't pray, but I have my fingers crossed for all you guys. I don't like it, but I could stand to lose everything except my tomatoes. I have 24. I have two row drippers. I'll turn those on. I may cover a half dozen. Anymore suggestions?

Bill, could you put buckets over them? What about putting a tent like structure over the rows with poles that hold the middle up over the maters? Maybe charcoal around for heat? I'm just thinking outside the box.

I have 12 celebrities & 4 jalapenos, I have less than $8 in all of that. I will cover them with buckets but if I lose em, I lose em. I'll buy some more next week. Eff it.

Some people could lose their babies. What's your forecast up there?

My neighbor across the street is putting several dozen rosesfrom 2 gallon pots. I just got enough to cover all my tomatoes, and some of the peppers.
