Those new potatoes are my second favorite behind Yukon Golds.

I can grub out a mess of these red potatoes anytime; My tomatoes are showing up in clumps, and a few peppers are sticking. I should have added that I only planted red potatoes and California whites. I tried some the gold ones a couple of years ago and didn't do well with them

Kevin, that passion flower is really cool. Thanks, I have a purple one too but it hasn't bloomed yet. I'll post up some pictures of it when it does.

You guys are making me jealous with pictures of your garden flowers. I'm only doing caladiums this year, and they are not yet up.

I was pretty surprised with my little garden. Yesterday I checked it and had 1/2 a doz tomatoes on already. I haven't had a garden in 10 years or so. The tomato plants said they took 60 days to mature so I was figuring 2 months before I saw an maters... well 2 weeks later and they are starting to load up!

Your tomatoes are looking good. Do you use poles or rods to hold up the cages when they start to lean? I do, but only as needed.

Years of abuse skeeter, need some new ones but I don't like the 3 footers.
I used rebar Bill but I'm going to rip some 1x2" x6' and try those this year. Also only when needed.

Don't study about it. Mine are 35 years old. Most of the bottom legs are broken off. I just stick them in there and prop them up when needed. They can blow over, and still be propped up. Sometimes I use sticks from my tree trimmings.
