[GARDENS] Tomato Tuesday!

I'm a day late on this, but ... TOMATOES!!

The Atlanta area has endured heavy storms the last couple of days.  Thick, sheeting rains that feel more like standing under a waterfall than a shower.

When I went out to check on things this morning, I found my sole Beefsteak tomato with a broken stem.  I splinted him with a bamboo kebab skewer broken in thirds for even placement around the stem, and then wrapped it several times up and down with floral tape.

Fingers crossed that the branch heals.  

The Roma clusters are bulbing out nicely, and the Basil in the bottom of the Beefsteak planter is happy in its new home.

 

The Gardens at Chateau Boudreaux

I've started a patio garden this year.  Nothing too extensive, as this is my first real attempt at growing edibles.  I've been posting notes about it to my GooglePlus Collection titled "The Gardens at Chateau Boudreaux", but I plan to resume posting creative things here, too, as it's been entirely too long since I've written about my projects.
