Six tomatoes, five stakes D:
The last plant is sort of flopped over and growing oddly since I was so late staking it up, but it’s still growing and probably has the most tomatoes out of all of them.
Now if only I could keep the damn chipmunks from eating the tomatoes as they ripen. fist shake
I’ve been picking the tomatoes before fully ripe to spare them chipmunk damage, then ripening them indoors and freezing. Once I get enough for sauce I’ll be busting out the canner!
