Gave the old bed a half dose of the Miracle Grow. Soil test on the new bed is in progress. Tied up 3 tomato branches that were on the ground, all with green fruit. I think I caught them in time.
I've been harvesting at least one tomato per day for the last week or so. Enough for my salad, sometimes more. I'm glad to be getting them so early. None from the CSA yet.
So far all the tomatoes are on the medium-small side, which is not optimal for the breed. Many of the early ones had blossom-end rot--the condition, if not the disease. Some had been lying in the dirt until last week, others not. But we'd gone thru a long rainy spell. A couple were rotting at the top, where they had cracked from rapid growth. More rain sitting in the cracks, I guess. Glad I'm a hobby gardener, not a career farmer.
