It's the middle of the {season} in {your hemisphere}.

How are things growing? Or not growing?

Any successes you'd like to share?

Any challenges that have made you learn?

Have you gotten to eat much of what you've grown?

How's it going fellow gardeners?

Cherokee purple made me love fresh tomatoes.

I've had the best luck with stakes and ties for my tomatoes in the past as opposed to cages. I hear that a Florida(?) weave (two posts with strings horizontally every foot or so between them) works quite well also.

Yeah I think I'm gonna get some long bamboo and figure something out. Probably leave the hoops and try to give each pot it's own support, so I can continue to shuffle these around if I want. Luckily I think the heat is gonna be stunting them (besides the fact that they're real bushy), so no worries about new support for awhile (but I need some gd finished fruit)
