A few of the tomato plant root balls are near the middle of the box so there is a little room to put a few things. Today I transplanted a few basil and 1 calendula into the middle.

CC how do you trellis or stake your indeterminate tomatoes now?

I mostly use Mels trellis which holds up in anything nature can toss at us.

But this year I put the overflow plants into the old school SFG and elsewhere and am using large tomato cages and bamboo stakes. They'll go down with the wind, unless I tie them to the rhodie bush behind them which was the original plan. Others I've left to sprawl. It's an experiment.[/quote]

Alright CC, Here's a video just for you. The stupid thing uploaded to the wrong account. Dumb phone. I cannot figure out how to move it to my other channel. It took forever to upload so if anyone out there is a youtube guru and can help me so I don't have to re upload it, please speak up. Thanks

Excellent explanation! and your video came out great, Camp. I didn't know about weaving one of the side branches so as to stabilized the plant against the wind. Thank you so much!

Now how about a video of the first trellis you wove earlier that isn't for tomatoes, the one you said that you saw it done and taught yourself how to do it?
Very Happy

But I think that one would be impossible to do with one hand.

And one on bean trellising with string, where to place the lower anchor "bar."

I'll work on that. Gotta figure out how to place the camera so I can us two hands to weave the trellis web.

Your brussel sprouts amaze me every time I see them. I have four tiny ones that I hope will make it thru the winter and then take off in the spring.

Thanks. As usual I waited too long to nip the top. Hopefully the weather will be good enough to have these babies keep growing until at least Thanksgiving. I bet yours will make it! Very Happy

Camp, Very nice. How many sf do you have in that photo? The BS are beautiful and I love the assortment of eggplants.

Marc Iverson 10/31/2014, 2:08 pm

The coloring on the sprouts makes them look like a painting. Actually a very attractive plant. Nice eggplants and peppers too.

You can see your beds! For what do you use the pallets and boxes stacked on top the beds?

**camprn** 3/27/2015, 12:02 pm

I know! Its exciting!!! The pallets will hold smaller boxes above the ground during the growing season. I just stacked a lot of thing up for the winter.

**AtlantaMarie** 3/27/2015, 3:52 pm

Woo-Hoo! Glad to see 'em, Camp!

mschaef 3/27/2015, 5:01 pm

How exciting to see that its melting. Soon it will be all gone and time to plant.
