maters

So......after the below mentioned "soaker hose event" it rained over 4 inches in about 5 days, very thankful, it has been really, really dry.  On the tomato front, we have gotten a great early harvest from the Tycoons and Better Boy - thanks to no freezing temps this winter.  They were really starting to look like they had run their course (blight?), so I went ahead and pulled everything out - except the Better Boy.  He had some nice new growth on the bottom, so we will see if it can set another crop.  Above are the last of the spoils, plus some from the spring planted Sun Gold, which is quickly becoming a favorite as well.  Most of the green ones pictured, have a hint of red, so they should turn as well.  This spring has been awesome so far, we are eating a lot of tomatoes and giving away as many as we can.  Below documents the end of the Tycoons and the Better Boy -  with a little life left.

Temps in STX for today are 75 / 50.
