I'm going with bamboo stakes for support this year. I'm going to try and prune weekly and keep my usual tomato jungle nice and neat this year. <BR/><BR/>I'm very interested in hearing what you think about those tomato ladders.

Not exactly lovely to look at, but they're sturdy. But yes indeed we all have our weaknesses. I planted just about as many broccoli plants (and 5 different varieties, natch) and what is completely crazy is this is just for the early summer harvest. I pot more up at the end of the month.<BR/><BR/>(oh and do get the Kingsolver book; it is great.)Elhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14878724196098024140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13170493.post-55926365248786051902007-06-01T17:30:00.000-04:002007-06-01T17:30:00.000-04:00After viewing the latest photos I can hear Jan Tsc...After viewing the latest photos I can hear Jan Tschoche saying, "Now that is a SERIOUS garden!" Granddaughter Chloe (4 in Sept) arrives on Wednesday and I plan to teach her the garden song and let her plant a section of her own. Flowers, no doubt. The variety that have bloomed so far would make you dizzy in the listing. I may become a convert, however, as I am currently reading ANIMAL, VEGETABLE, MIRACLE! (Kingsolver's latest). Miss your face!
