Baby tomatoes coming along nicely!

I pruned back the tomato plants so that the bottom leaves wont die from powdery mildew and now you can really see how many baby tomatoes we have coming along!

Very excited to harvest them from the garden soon! We’ve already eaten about a half dozen tomatoes that came right so far.

This weekend I built a new trellis for the tomatoes!

Constructed from 4 2x4s and a piece of ladder mesh truss, this is arguably the only structure on the entire property that is actually plumb and level.

The back row has 10 plants and the front row has six, all different indeterminate varieties. I am pruning them as a single vine up a string. Each one has its own string and hook so that when the plant reaches the top I could let out some string and let them keep growing!

Thanks to @nextlevelgardening for the strings and hooks and great videos explaining how! This is my first time growing tomatoes this way and I’m excited about how big they might get.
