It was time to get the tomato plants caged up for the
season. I’m growing grafted tomatoes this year, so before I could cage them, I
had to pinch off suckers growing from grafting scars to prevent the scions from
rooting.
The raspberries in the back continue to spread, as do the
weeds growing amongst them. After a lot of weeding, we moved the back support
wire on the bottom cross arm of the trellis to its widest position. Eventually,
we will need to move the back support wire on the top arm too.
And, as promised, Mr. Scoakat enjoyed the first ripe
strawberry of the year! It looks like
we’ll have several more ripe berries by the end of the week, and the runners on
the new plants have already rooted so we should have many more plants by the end
of the summer.
