Growin maters

[dimbee]

So, as we all know, the mater is the king of the garden. It's what we all love to grow and eat. It's THE garden crop. I love growing maters. I have some seeds from my Paw Paw (RIP) from back in the 90's that I've been growing each year. They're for what he called "Yellow Pink-Nose" maters. They're just that- yellow maters with a pink nose when ripe. It's really a cool thing for me to be growing these maters with seeds from sooo long ago from a man who knew farming like I know how to brush my teeth- very good at it.

Anyhoo.

This year, I'm trying something different with my maters. I'm building mater ladders.

Supposed to help a mater plant grow fuller with a greater yield. We'll see how it goes.

Anyone else plantin maters?? Holla yo

Shoulda used treated wood! lol jk

I grew the Topsy Turvy tomatoes that you hang on a hook and grow. Thats about it.

I only really enjoy growing peppers...mainly habaneros, and thai chiles.

Growing some right now from seeds (about three different types). Got some Jalepenos, Cayennes, basil, chives, sage, dill, thyme, mint, etc. Also, trying to sprout an apple tree from a seed (thought that might be cool to plant in a yard after I get out of this condo).

I'm surprised this hasn't been derailed by the stoners yet.

That looks like a good idea. How tall are the "ladders"? My maters usually are upwards of 7 or 8 ft. tall.
