you dont have any stakes down to support the tomato plants?
I do stake them but not with a cane... I use twine hanging down from the roof and stake that into the soil, then I have the tomatoes clipped to the twine with those plastic clips, as the plant grows you just train the plant up the twine and add more clips... Usually works a treat as theyre inside the polytunnel or greenhouse and away from the elements...
Heres a pic from when the plants were young:
The wind was so strong last night that plant closest to the door, which has a little window like square to let air in, similar to the one the pic below (not mine) took out the plant smh
We’re supposedly getting a hurricane rain soon. My tomato plant flowered. I hope it don’t get destroyed.
You able to bring it in the garage?
I think ima put it closer to my house on my patio.
If you do have to keep it outside try and create a wind break by placing it against a wall or fence or something...
Man I had tons of loganberries almost ready to pick last week, the strong winds and that fckn bird locked in the cage decimated them smh
That bird musta thought he was at an all you can buffet!!!
Thankfully theres still a fair bit more unripe fruit growing on there...

Theyre abit tart to eat straight, so I put them in smoothies and things... Gonna try make some jam at somepoint too...
Im hoping the raspberries fruit well this season so I can eat them straight but they might not produce until next year as I only bought the plant this year...

Had a cherry tree in a large plastic pot.. was brownish for months and I wasnt sure why. Turns out it was rootbound. changed it to a bigger cloth pot and look at the difference a month made!
These three tomato plants had already bore fruit. I was gonna pull them up but decided to chop everything but one piece and its growing back nicely
Some Peppers
Potted Dwarf Avocado tree doing nice. I gotta pull up that drooping side and tie it to a post. Train it to grow more vertically
More tomatoes. Gotta chop the dead leaves off the bottom
A loquot tree experiment and some potatoes

I need to move to Bermuda all your stuff is looking good
Absolutely smashing it bro, that cheery transformation is great...
Couple questions, do you prune your pepper plants??? As they look awesome, someone told me just to let them do their thing but Im wondering if I should give it a little haircut...
Also, how many offshoots/stems do you leave on your tomatoes???

Preciate it man!
I havent pruned anything on that pepper im just letting it do its thing. If anything, if I see some yellowing or branches that dont look healthy ima cut it off.
For the tomatoes I clipped everything except one offshoot off the main stem. The main stem is there for each of the three still. I tried to take a clipping and put it in the dirt but it didnt take. I think if I would have put it in some water and let it root it would have made it
I wanna grow a pepper now.
Cool I'll just let my pepper ride out then, that makes life easier...
Its so hard to keep on top of tomatoes, like you can miss a sucker growing then all of a sudden you got another stem growing with those yellow flowers you dont wanna cop it off!!!
I try to keep 3 stems going on my polytunnel tomatoes as theyre only small tomatoes, the ones in the greenhouse are small too but I tried to just keep the one main stem going due to space but somehow after trying my best to to stay on top of the pruning theyve got 2 or maybe even 3 stems going on lol
