same here, they're stalled at 1.5-2ft... my onions are also the same, still small. i looked at my 2007 june 19th pictures, and my tomatoes then are like 2.5-3ft tall... i sure wish we'd have higher temps to start the toms and other veggies moving... even my flowers havent started its full bloom yet! june 19, 2007 june 19, 2010

Thanks everyone for the info. bobbi, thanks for looking that up. But geeez, that's kind of discouraging. I wonder if the author or anyone here uses anything to combat those bugs/viruses? A woman in the Tomato forum (who grows hers in containers), lives in Florida and recommends the use of two organic sprays, Serenade and a product with Spinosad as more of a preventive measure. She dillutes them and sprays her tomatoes from seedling through harvest every week or so and her tomatoes are flawless. Someone else recommended BT which might be more effective once the worms, etc. are present. I'm going to try these solutions. I mean, battling the heat is tough enough, but bugs and viruses too? So maybe by eliminating most of the bug/virus problems they might have a chance. What I don't quite understand is the timing of things - when to seed, when to plant out, when to look for flowers, etc. If I remember correctly, first frost comes mid-late November. It makes some sense to use early varieties and perhaps use shade cloth throughout the first month after setting them out. I'm going to try a few seedlings planted in mid-June and will also try cuttings in mid-July or so. I was just hoping that someone did this on a regular basis and had a winning formula of steps to take. Perhaps its not worth the trouble and worries in this climate, but thought I'd at least try.

Email me at eguitarguy123@gmail.com and we can work something out. These 2 varieties are fast growers they usually grow about 4 to 5 ft in a season that is habit for the mother plant in a 30gal pot after she is hard pruned. They root very fast and rooted simply in a window. Cancun Pink smell like cinnamon. Mex. Yellow smell like Sweet. Photo taken 4/9/2015

Here are a couple of cycads in a greenhouse I haven't shown yet. The The first one is an Encephalartos gratus from Mozambique in a 45 gallon container that has about 30 inches of trunk. The last plant is an E. ferox, tubular form female in a 90 gallon container. If anyone ever does buy this plant, I'm not sure how I will move it. But I will figure that out if the time comes. I'd probably have to rent a bobcat with forks on it. The picture really doesn't show that is is 10 feet across.This second picture just shows all kinds of different cycads. Looks like a cycad jungle.
