The last frost is well past, and all of those fragile seedlings are now ready to go into the ground, or in my case, the air. On a run around the hood, I was lucky to pull enough four-by-fours and a decent 12’ plank in people’s offerings to the trash gods—why do people throw away perfectly good wood!? A few cuts with the circular saw and a handful of beefy 4” screws, Becky and I were able to put together an amazingly stable frame for all of the hanging plants.
When all was said and done, 6 tomato plants were hoisted into the air. Black Krim, Sweet 100, Green Zebra, Lemon Boy… I wish I had more room for the huge selection that Greensgrow had, but alas—plants need their space and mine is finite. The first green tomatoes have finally revealed themselves after a month of watering, and it already looks like it’s going to be a bumper crop. Can’t wait to see what comes off!
