I'm out of town today and just planted my tomatos last Tues so I don't have pictures or progress to report, BUT all you lower south growers do me proud and post your planting times and pictures of your tomatos. It will be interesting to see how the harvests progress from across the region.

I will try to get some pics tomm. I'm holding my breath because I had Southern Blight hit about this time last yr. I have lots of plants, with lots of small tomatoes. If I've prevented the blight, I will be putting up toms this yr.(I never got to eat 1 tomato last yr.)

I think you're asking for pictures of progression? (If I've misunderstood, let me know and I'll remove some of these pictures.)

I'm in Savannah, GA. I started my tomatoes indoors around the end of February and they came up in about 4 days. I grew them under HO T5 lights. I planted them April 12, after transplanting up (some twice). Each time I transplanted, I took off the bottom leaves and buried the stem as much as possible. Here are some pictures of their progress.

end of march progress (I had such an overabundance of plants, it took me several days/weeks to transplant them all up. That's why some are still very small, while others are fairly large. I ended up giving away so many plants, it's crazy. Never grew anything from seed before, so I planted WAY more than I needed to.)

2013 Tomato Tuesday - lower south Img_7810

These are from yesterday, after a major trimming. I (again) took off all the bottom leaves, and a few of the leaf stems that were crowding the plants. I felt they needed the air flow. There are still plenty of leaf stems and leaves left on the plants. Last time I did this, they looked naked, just like now, and they quickly recovered. I didn't take off anything above the tomatoes, unless it was absolutely necessary. See all the tomatoes? Very Happy (oh, except for suckers.)

The tomatoes in buckets are definitely behind the ones in the bed. Still, I do have tomatoes on most of them, and buds on all of them.

This is my first attempt at serious gardening. Since I've mostly been growing tomatoes so far, I only hope I have as much luck with other things as I've had with the toms. (There actually are some plants in front of the tomatoes in the bed, but the only thing doing much is the baby bok choy, so I'll probably rip everything else out and plant marigolds and herbs or something.)

Of course, I credit you guys with a lot of my success. I learned many things here that I would otherwise not have known. So, from the bottom of my heart, thank you very much, to everyone who advised me or tried to help me when I was having a nervous breakdown about some thing or another. What a Face

I'm popping in from the mid-south to covet your tomatoes! okay praise
I got a late start, so mine are still just reaching for the trellis and will be a bit till I get to taste fresh tomatoes. What a lovely setup you have! How are you planning on preserving your extras?

Thank you! I'm planning on learning how to can and make salsa, etc. (or however you preserve tomatoes for later), and I'll invest in a dehydrator once they start coming in. I imagine I'll be making a lot of V8 type juice, and tomato salads, and sandwiches, and sauces. (I love tomatoes.) I have family I can share with also. If they do really well, I might look into selling at the farmer's market/health food store, or to a few local restaurants. I would actually LOVE to sell to some of the restaurants here. The guy who owns the local hydroponics store does this, and I'm sure he wouldn't mind hooking me up. There are also food banks, and things of that nature, if I have a really big crop.

I probably have no idea what I've gotten myself into here. What a Face

This is my second year doing my garden. Last year I didn't get started until the end of May. This year I have done much better.

2013 Tomato Tuesday - lower south IMG_0186_zpsd83f7a0f[/URL]

I planted my tomatoes on March 1st and was lucky with the cold weather shortly after. I have been harvesting tomatoes (Cherry & Grape) for about two weeks now.

I had to steal the grandkids toy snake to keep a ocking bird from eating my entire crop. The snake has been there for 4 days now (moving it every day) and "No more mocking bird trouble....yet"

I have two "Sweet baby girl" cherry tomatoes; two "Grape Tomatoes; two Creole; and two "Better Boy". It won't be long for the large tomatoes but the cherry tomatoes are very good but not as productive as the Grape tomatoes. There are still about 100 Grape tomatoes left on the bushes and going strong. The PVC cage worked great this year.

Below is a picture of my small garden.

Good show all of you. I hope my late garden will start taking off. I noticed some blossoms on some of my plants yesterday. Just got the camera recharged today and will try to get pics when the weather clears.

This is the big boy planted last and much smaller when planted has caught up to the purples. I am considering making it to have two stem now.

Pepper, those look great. I have a question for you. I've been keeping the bottom leaf stems trimmed off to keep them off the ground, ans also taking a few of the leaf stems higher up so they will get adequate air flow (nothing above the tomatoes though), and because I read (somewhere) that when they're that close together it also helps stop spreading disease. I'm kinda wishing now I had left them alone. What are your thoughts on this?

I think the best advise is to cut the bottom limbs BELOW the first fruits. I have a jungle because I have not done much cutting. I do have many tomatoes on or very near the bottom. I have also allowed at least two main branches to grow; not stopping a sucker, some have three. I know I should have limited each plant to one main vine. All mine are indeterminate's so...

Most of mine have two stems as well. I decided to grow the two stems on the ones in the bed. I think one or two may only have one stem. In the buckets it's the opposite. Most of them have one stem, but 5 or 6 of them have a double stem. The ones in the buckets are looking kinda pathetic at the moment though. Sad

Tomatos in buckets are just about ready to hit the cattle panel. Sounds like a Wed project.

Pepper - That looks like a serious problem to me.  I tried looking on the Cornel website to see if I could identify the problem, but no luck.  Do you have a county extension office near you.  I was reading all the different fact sheets on the various tomato diseases and some of them are scary (hard to control the disease etc).

Hope you can quickly figure out what it is.  Need to keep it from spreading if it is a disease.

Agreed on the County Extension service.  But last year I had good luck spraying with copper fungicide when my tomato stems started having dark blotches.  Early Blight

Post if you get an answer.

I looked up early blight here: http://www.motherearthnews.com/organic-gardening/preventive-pruning-for-tomato-early-blight-control.aspx#axzz2W74tMRIZ
here is something we all need to ponder"Organic growers sometimes use copper fungicides, which are often effective, but frequent use may harm earthworms."
Some of my leaves look similar to the ones I saw but the vine pictures look vastly different. The pictures shown: http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=early+blight+in+tomatoes+pictures&qpvt=early+blight+in+tomatoes+pictures&FORM=IGRE&id=D614A3A3C76EB4C3CAFD43187068631252466D09&selectedIndex=141#view=detail&id=D614A3A3C76EB4C3CAFD43187068631252466D09&selectedIndex=0

In another post I complained about my sungold cherry plants not surviving seedling stage well and how I only had 4 plants survive enough to transplant.  One of those transplants grew well, but the other is just being stubborn.  I trimmed up the good plant about 3 weeks ago and decided to try rooting a sucker.  It put out beautiful roots and I transplanted earlier in the week.  Here are pictures

second from left is the sungold

Not bad considering nothing was planted/transplanted until  7-12 May.  And a few others even later.  Plus we had cold weather in after I did the planting.  In the mid 30s  at night, which is unusual for this far South.  And the winds frustration screm Andrea and then last night they shook the whole house.  Almost hurricane strength.

I've been spraying with aspirin water and copper fungicide.   Knock wood, so far no signs of blight happy dance

some of the heirlooms have some funny looking blossoms and gnarly vines.

Time for the rest of you to update your tomato pictures.
