Impressive! I wish I had space for such a garden! [MENTION=15310]helsonwheels[/MENTION] my Canadian tomatoes are coming along nicely- all seeds I used germinated and the 150-year-old seed has so gar been the strongest plant. Will soon flower. How tall do you grow them - do you just let them be or do you pinch them?

Tomato plants in top right raised bed. Too hot today for my assistant gardener to work today. Recently, though, he's been quite diligent in digging in the bed far to the right because there's a hedgehog coming in that way each evening.

[MENTION=9875]cefe13[/MENTION] we Italians donā€™t let them grow higher than 3ā€™ less even. Also remove the suckers the little ones that grows between to Major branches like in a ā€œVā€ shape. Iā€™m glad the old seeds are growing. Donā€™t forget to keep the chain going.. love your garden so European. I do have a big backyard so yes much easier to grow. The only problem Alberta we donā€™t have long n normal summers. I bought a yr ago 1 growing tent n growing light for seedlings. Now I just bought another bigger tent n growing light. I want to grow veggies in the winter. And... I also got a Hydroponic System. I want to try that that as itā€™s no soil n mess.

Hereā€™s a good video...

Great - will do! Thanks for great video too. I liked the way the plants were kept in-between strings too. I usually tie the plant to a bamboo stick but this looked better so will try that.

Looks impressive! Rainy and chilly here so not much happening in the garden right now. Seems like you have good weather!

So so as weather. Depending on some nights, goes between +8 - 16 n day from 18 - 25. You never know what you get living in the prairies. Back home in Montreal been like 35+humidity +40 thatā€™s too hot.

First time I planted cauliflower. Canā€™t wait to see them guys.

That was a great video. The seedlings below are from some very ripe cherry tomatoes that I buried just to see what would happen to them. There three weeks old, need to thin out.

@cefe13. Howā€™s them old tomato seeds coming along?

wow - impressive harvest!
The old tomatoes are getting there - this photo is from the plant from the old seed, and the plants from the newer seeds are flowering. They seem to be a bit later than the tomatoes I've grown before, but the tomatoes themselves look really good. Very excited about the result!

Your garden pics are gorgeous... my garden didn't fare SO well this year. My tomatoes in a bag were a disaster, I got 2 tomatoes that basically rotted on the vine... I don't think this bag system is such a great idea. I need some nice wood planters or something... not plastic.
