Salmonella Tomatoes, Not In My Garden
With the salmonella scare pulling tomatoes off the shelves, it makes me happy that I decided to grow my own plants last month. Here is an update from my earlier blog. They continue to grow big and thick in their containers. The red mulch, shown to grow tomatoes bigger and faster appears to be working, we have never had such fat stems on our plants.
We even have a few small tomatoes already!
Now according to the plant information, the plants should reach maturity in 75 to 90 days. That would mean I would have tomatoes by the beginning of August. With the way they are growing I predict home grown tomatoes by the middle of July.
We will just have to wait and see.

wow…where do you get The red mulch? i’ve started a garden this year for the first time in tucson. As protected as possible I still have little critters eating my garden. Pepper and chili powder are helping a little. I love the whole idea of groceries in my back yard.
