Seeds have been in incubator for a week, and nothing. It looks like this will be a good year to take off. Maybe tomatoes in the green house.   Sunday, August 4 View Page I am starting to set for Gale Woods. I wood rather have a good double or triple.   Sunday, August 4 View Page I have about half set. I think it is still early. The next two weeks would be better. Pumpkin didn't get set until July 22. Don't think I'll have one to bring. I hope my long gourd is under 120 so it will fit in the car. Would rather drive it then the old truck.   Thursday, September 19 View Page Too much air in the middle   Sunday, September 22 View Page The good thing from a bad year is that you can clean the garden earlier. Deer already ate the pumpkins, now it just has to dry up.   Sunday, September 22 View Page Long gourds barely reached the top of the trellis. I don't need a truck to haul this one.   Sunday, September 22 View Page My cover crop. Two more gardens will be put into grass next year.   Sunday, September 22 View Page If you are going to grow up north, you need a green house. This long gourd was planted the same time as the ones outside.   Sunday, September 22 View Page I like hanging my tomatoes in 5lb paint bags. Could have probably used 1 gallon for most of them.   Sunday, September 22 View Page Stopped growing.   Sunday, September 22 View Page A little larger. Probably my backup.   Wednesday, September 25 View Page You can tell it is getting close to weigh offs. The tomatoes are starting to go down. This one has a bad spot on the bottom.   Wednesday, September 25 View Page This one has two slug bites.   Wednesday, September 25 View Page After I cut this one off the vine, I just touched the stem and it fell off. I will try to sulfur it, but doesn't look good. Getting tomatoes to stay solid is the hardest part of making a weigh off. I have tomatoes that I know should grow larger, but when it gets cold they just shut down.   Saturday, September 28 View Page First frost   Saturday, September 28 View Page One of the last tomatoes to be picked.   Saturday, September 28 View Page My last tomato.   Monday, October 7 View Page 7lbs 6.2oz when I first picked it.   Monday, October 7 View Page 7 lbs 2.5 oz after weigh off. lost 3.7 oz.   Monday, October 7 View Page Don't know why more people don't grow these. 106 inches   Monday, October 7 View Page Got the timing right this year. This would have made it to Stillwater.
