First Plants!

This year, we learned the important lesson that these circular cages are worthless for indeterminate tomatoes (which we technically already knew, but we were desperate for any possible support). However, they are great for peppers, eggplants, and smaller determinate tomatoes - so don't despair if you have a bunch of these.

We planted a dogwood this year. (Which we later found out later that they literally stink... But it did not survive the winter)

This year, we grew Opalka paste tomatoes, Champagne bubble cherry tomatoes, White Tomesol (turns from green to white, gets slightly yellowish when ripe and overripe), Hillbilly, Giant Belgium, Pink Oxheart, Azoychka (yellow, smaller), Old German, & Pineapple Tomatoes.
