The season is progressing ..... starting to notice leaf issues, etc. I purchased a moisture meter and tried it out yesterday in the garden. A great little tool, no batteries required and under $10.

Two of my containers registered on the wet side, so I did not water. Three others were given a tablespoon of epsom salts to help with greening the leaves and watered. With this hot weather we've been having of late (mid 20's C - hot for here) I'm still trying to get my watering routine down.

Anyhoo, pics of a few more fruit sets - Brandywine and Grub's Mystery Green, and I couldn't resist - started some dwarf sunflowers a few weeks back and they have now been transplanted - what better way to celebrate summer than by growing tomatoes and sunflowers.

Well, that was a fast two weeks, and the weather is finally starting to feel like summer ......
have a look at the progress in our container tomato garden. Some really big buds, so hopefully we will see some baby tomatoes shortly.
