Day 76: 05/20/16 - Time for a Cage Match!

With the height now getting in the 36 inch range, it's time to bring out the cages.

Big Boy" has officially reached the 3 foot height.

I hot glue'd a "Thunderdome" cage for the "Island of Misfit Tomatoes"

"Fight Club" also has a new cage.   I glued this firm to the pot so I will 

be able to move it indoors easy enough during the summer storms.

"Ethel" (shown below) is my first experiment with trimming.  

I cut the top to stop her upward growth and give her reason to begin to bush out.

She is showing signs of new growth at each branch.

Still need to clean the window.

Day 70: 05/14/16 - Frost

Temp too cold for keeping outdoors in the evening.

"Big Boy" is now 30 inches tall.

Shorty is 15 inches tall.

Day 63: 05/07/16

"Fight Club" seems to be getting along together ok, and growing nicely.

I made another attempt at placing the Island of Misfit Tomatoes outside for a day while at work, and returned to find them a bit haggard. They are the smallest of the group, but still trying.

Window sunshine is helping greatly. 

( Mind you, it might help more if I clean the window )

This is "Shorty."  Of the single-pot tomatoes, he's the smallest, but he was the most damaged by the wind, so he's doing better.

And this is "Big Boy."  At 63 days in, he is already 24 inches tall.
