Greetings from Our Tomato Haven

Ah, the anticipation of plucking ripe tomatoes before Independence Day – a tradition we cherish. Today, it's all about our beloved Cherry Sweet 100 tomatoes.

These little bursts of sweetness, perfect for salads or devouring straight from the vine, are stealing the spotlight.

Crafting the Ultimate Tomato Support System

But before we delve into the tomato goodness, let's talk infrastructure. Crafting the perfect support system for your tomatoes is an art, and we've mastered it.

Forget flimsy cages; we create our support from the durable farm fence, ensuring longevity and sturdiness. For added strength, a strategic network of pipes and twine holds the tomatoes upright, preventing the weight from causing a delightful chaos.

The Power of Clips and Twine

Now, let's talk about the unsung heroes – the clips and twine. These little wonders are the secret sauce behind maintaining the tomatoes' upright stance.

Check out our video for the best contact details to snag these game-changing clips from Martin's Produce in Kentucky. A simple hook under the limb, a quick clip to the twine, and voilà – your tomatoes are ready to defy gravity.

No-Fuss Gardening with Drip Systems

Ever dreamed of a garden that practically waters itself? Our drip system is the answer. Forget the hassle of hand-watering; we've embraced the convenience of a drip system.

Simply turn on the water, let it work its magic for the desired time, and you're done. Efficiency at its finest, my friends!

The Tomato Hornworm Hunt

A quick tip for tomato hornworm control – the black light technique. Armed with a black light after dark, we discovered and dealt with these pesky critters.

An essential step to prevent them from wreaking havoc on our precious tomato plants.

Suckering for Success

To maximize tomato energy and enhance fruit size, we swear by the art of suckering. By pinching out growth in the crotch of the plant, we guide the plant's energy directly into the tomatoes.

One strong stem with tiers of deliciousness – that's the goal.

Beyond Tomatoes: Peppers and Container Gardening

Our adventure doesn't end with tomatoes. Take a stroll to our pepper wonderland, where lush banana peppers reign supreme.

A combination of our CopperCore copper antenna magic and meticulous care has resulted in a pepper bonanza. And don't miss our thriving container garden, showcasing the versatility of our farming methods.
