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.

Day 54: 04/27/16 - A New Hope

Relegated to what I refer to as "The island of misfit toys," 

The damaged tomato plants seem to be finding a way to

show that they aren't out of the game just yet.

Bits of new growth on these 'twigs' are showing possibility for the season.

The plants that were only moderately damaged were 

gathered together into this single pot.

I call this one "Fight Club," as I'm sure they 

will struggle for dominance.

There were four plants that held strong and have flourished.

With luck, they all will do well by mid summer.

Day 49: 04/23/16 - Tragedy

Against my better judgement, I left the plants outside.

The strong winds overnight destroyed nearly half the crop.

Sad.

Note to future self: Plants on higher balconies deal with stronger wind.

I am now moving the plants indoors for a while

Transferring out destroyed plants and grouping them together, with hope.

All part of the game.
