Setting out

Here it is.. The start of the third chapter in growing shit.. Plants that is..

 Tomatoes by the gas meter are really sprawling out..
 Over there to the right next to the fence thing there is tomato, NOT WEEDS... Stunned me too.. 
 Pumpkin in the tree.. That is right, they are setting on in the tree as I was hoping they would..
 Multiple pumpkins setting on in the tree there.. That could be cool..
 ..or not, they could pull the tree over.. That might not be good, but I will try to keep those living..
 Above ^ and below \/ this one is setting on on a vive headed for the pine tree..

 The tomato with a pumpkin growing through it has tomatoes setting on.
 So much so that the tomato is rubbing on the pumpkin.. What does this mean for flavour??  I have no idea..
 These two pictures show the sprawl from this pumpkin heading still deliberate pace to the shed.. Redirect will happen but to where??

 The pumpkin patch proper and they have recovered from last weeks wind blowing.. Quite a lot actually..
 Last year I had something like 25 pumpkins set on with five making it to the finish line (carved).. They ranged from around a hundred pounds to ten maybe.. I'd like to have five again this year but I'd like them all to be rather huge.. One hundred pounds or greater..


The Earth box tomatoes, the Containers Choice variety, are getting big, sprawling out more.. i will have to cage these although there is no mention of having to do such a thing on the tags.. So far the tomatoes are around baseball sized.. Very nice.. They remind me of the Patio planter variety from around ten years ago..

The moby grape variety tomato down in the gas meter area has had one tomato ripen completely.. It was good.. With more on the way...
