Not to jump on the bandwagon but Sheckler is amazing also. Gonna find a vid of my buddy Stuart that I grew up with skating. We were nose for nose but I quit working at the skateshop to do construction and he went on skating.
This was probably 5 or 6 years ago. Gotta see if he's got anything recent tho.

Awesome thanks for posting! I used to skate the parks a lot, i like getting air and doing tricks on the quarter pipes and fun boxes.

Made some chicken pot pie tonight, with carrots, potatoes, leeks, garlic, parsnips, rhutabaga, celery, chicken, homemade chicken stock, butter, flour, heavy cream, parsley.

Got some soil mixed up today, one bag of sunshine pro mix, one bag of happy frog, and a big bag of perlite. I'm guessing it made about 11 cubic feet.

Oh the pot pie looks soooo good.
And that chicken/veggie thing don't look bad neither.

I've become a regular with Baker Creek -an excellent, dependable source.
Those Lungos are on my list too, but my main saucer is going to be the Jersey Devils.

I'm getting ingredients together to do an InTheGarden mix. She launched a 300+ page thread in Oct of '12 over on GrassCity on building a simple, organic container soil.
She has really thought this out.

I was reading online that they don't like lots of water, it makes them blossom end rot.

Just jumping in, but I was sold as soon as I saw the pot pie. Following for the long haul! At least manually. Internet costs a fortune out here, so I'm on my phone the majority of the time.

I grew a Muncher cucumber last year and it was a monster! Took over an entire 8x4 raised bed!

Did you can them?

I did make a few jars of refrigerator pickles, but mostly just ate them fresh, and gave them out. For a time, I was getting one or two large cukes a day. That plant was a cucumber machine!

That's my concern, I have never had any success with Roma's here. I'm hoping the soil additions I made this season will help with a more stable soil, and I intend on using foliar Calmag applications. Only went with 4 of them as a test.

Thanks for the input!

Yeah you should foliar feed your tomatoes once a week with cal mag supplement and if your brewing tea add that too! I had no problems with pests last season because of it! We had lots of rain which caused some end rot in my tomatoes but wasn't bad enough to make a difference. I still grew over 200 pounds in the back yard!

jedisushi06 · Mar 22, 2014

I'm seriously considering topping these?? Feel free to share your thoughts on this please, i'm worried that they wont be able to hold their weight up being so lanky.

Red 7 Pot Rennie is kicking out pods for me!!!!!! :dance:

I started foliar feeding them this week with the Calmag and Seaweed Extract. Been wanting to get some tea going, never have tried to before, guess I will when I'm caught up in the garden. I don't know how many pounds of Tom's we got last year but we canned 71 quarts, that will make plenty of Red Suace! We mainly grew Early Girl, it does real well in our climate. Tried Abe Lincoln, we got weak production, but nice fruits. Also tried seeds we saved from Campari's, got a ton of just larger than golf ball sized fruits.

As for topping the plants, I won't say yes you should, because you may regret it later. But I did when it was still a month before plant out and a few hit 14-16"s tall. However I do feel there is a difference in a 18" tall plant that hit that height indoors versus one that hits it once outside.

Those plants are beautiful!

jedisushi06 · Mar 22, 2014

Thanks buddy, I guess I will just leave them alone this year. 71 quarts! Holy cow!

Devv · Mar 22, 2014

Tom's got me into gardening, been growing them for 32 years now. Every year we add more produce to the grow list, it's half the fun.

As for the tall plants, I used tomato cages around the taller ones to help support them. And yes I have cages from 1982.

Jamison · Mar 22, 2014

Looking good Mikey! WHere did you get the Rennie seeds from? Them Marzano's have a lot of BER I noticed in the past couple years. Last year I threw a little bit of Epsom salt at the bottom of the hole when I planted em in the ground and it seemed to help a lot with it. CaMg helps a ton with them things. Grow is looking spectacular! Top em if you want to top em, but being that far along I personally would just stake them up nicely.

I got the seeds from a good friend of mine who's no longer on here. He's my favorite cowboy. Thanks for the heads up on the BER. I think your right, i should just leave them alone even though their getting pissed off being so close together.
