It is now July 13th and I believe my tomato plants are going to beat the 10 foot mark. Here is the current progress. My one son is over 6 foot tall and the other son on his shoulders is about 5'8, so here is a picture of them standing behind some of the tomato plants. Here is my oldest boy hand for comparision of the tomatoes. My wife picked our first tomatoes today and we have been canning. She did some beans and pickles today. I also had my first Organic Gardening Seminar today. I believe it when well. It is free and about an hour lecture with questions and answers afterwards. If you are near the South Central Virginia area and like to attend just e-mail me at Growingitorganically@gmail.com.

Progress of Garden
Hello,
I have not posted for a little while. We have had graduation for my oldest son from highschool as well as the homeschool convention here in Virginia. Of course the garden has been going strong with picking, canning, maintaining, as well as eating. No ripe tomatoes yet, but I have some plants over 7 feet tall and loaded with tomatoes. The compose tea seem to be going strong and the garden is looking good. All of the people who have been using
the tea can't believe the difference. Another gardener friend of mine has been using the tea on certain plants and the
plants he has used the tea on, he is guessing are over 7 feet also. Here are a few pictures to show you the progress. My tomato stake go up about 12 feet and my friend goes up 14 feet. The wheelbarrow is loaded with beets and the squash is growing like crazy. I am trying to be patient on my first fresh tomato sandwich of the year. If you look at the last post you see how much the tomatoes have grown.
