Wouldn't that be awesome? The tomatoes are from Safeway |
My harvest for one day actually looks like this

Tomatoes, strawberries, and radishes(the green tomatoes came off when picking redder ones) |
It has continued to be a miserable summer for my garden. So far this year, I have picked just barely over three pounds of tomatoes from my 12 plants. When I look at my record from last year, I had already picked well over 9 pounds of tomatoes by September 15th, and that was with 6 plants! Almost everyone I have talked to who is growing tomatoes in the northwest has had the same experience unless they are using a hothouse or green house.
I will no doubt end up spending much of this fall and winter trying to devise a way to get a giant harvest from a small amount of space. Most likely, I will have to make a structure to insulate them and keep them dry. Does anyone have some mad scientist ideas on how to get some good tomatoes in our unreliable climate? I would love to hear what other people have tried!
