My tomato plants have reached the top of the cages and beyond and the cages are the large ones. These are Mr. Stripey, Cherokee Purple, and Black Krim.
These two are Juliet tomatoes and they are sprawling all over the place. The Juliet's grow in clusters and they come off the vine very easily. Every day now I am getting a plate full of these tomatoes. They are slightly smaller and a little less plump than a Roma tomato; the perfect size for slicing in half and putting in a salad. I made
tomato soup again and left out the cucumber this time and it was much better.
Yesterday I made these two containers. They are about three and a half inches tall and a little less wide. As the containers and canisters dry I keep moving them to a fresh sheet of wall board till the bottoms are completely dry. I also change the paper between the container and the lid. Thanks for reading and for all your comments.
Love the tomatoes.
ReplyDeleteYour muse really doesn't want to make salt cellars just yet does she? I like what she doing, but she is definitely going her own way...
Hi Sue, thanks, I am getting lots of practice on containers this week, that's for sure. Those juliet tomatoes are such a good choice, so glad I found them at the last minute this year.
ReplyDeleteAre these wide enough to get a pinch of salt from the bottom of them?
ReplyDeleteHi Dennis, thanks, oh you would be practical wouldn't you, Hey I didn't even think of that. ok next ones will be short and fat. One of the women wants to use a spoon with her Himalayan salt. Was thinking about making a spoon that fit on the side of the container or inside the lid. We shall see.
DeleteI can't wait for the little containers to go to market to see how they do.
ReplyDeleteHi Joanne, thanks, I can't wait for them to get dry so I can fire them, it's keeping my busy that's for sure.
DeleteOh you are definitely the greenest thumb of the potters!
ReplyDeleteHi Barbara, thanks, I haven't even done anything for those tomatoes. oh I did give them some slow release fertilizer, I think they like the spot though against that wall. The juliet's are really prolific I hope I can get them again next year.
Deletethe canisters are coming along nicely... and I am jealous of those tomatoes.
ReplyDeleteHi Michele, thanks, other than the occasional horn worm they are so easy, just water and wait and pick. I am getting a lot of practice on these canisters. Previously I was thinking they were hard to make but making a bunch each day is improving my skill.
Deletemy dad use to save seeds from his best tomatoes~~~can you save the juliet's
ReplyDeleteHi Carroll, thanks, I have found that tomato seeds are too difficult to start from seeds, I'll order the juliets if I have to for next year.
DeleteTomatoes and ceramic canisters--sweet heaven!
ReplyDeleteHi Charlene, thanks, I have been a busy bee, lucky the tomatoes practically take care of themselves.
DeleteThe cannisters/containers look wonderful. What colour will they end up being? I look forward to seeing the finished products...they should sell well, Linda.
ReplyDeleteHi Lee, thanks, not sure what color I'll make them; hope you are right about the selling part.
