Baby plants only,no flowers and no baby maters. What a year,so far.

Yup I agree. I do have some blossoms on all of my mater plants. Yesterday I hand pollinated them. We'll see if they take. I truely believe we won't have much of a summer.

I've got 3 goliaths (total) on 2 plants. biggest one is just a tad smaller than a ping pong ball.......Have blooms and a few micro babies on others (have to check my map to see which variety) Whaa-hoo.........

I have 4 Early Girls that were bought early in the season from Al's Gardening Center in Woodburn, OR. They lived in my coldframe in 4-inch pots until moved to one-gallon pots, still in the cold frame. When they started pushing the top of the cold frame open, I moved them into their final garden spot. That was mid may. They all have green, golf ball sized tomatoes on them.
The KOIN News weather segment on TV was interesting last night. He showed how June was shaping up to be the coldest one ever. He also showed us the long-term summer forecast for the 48 states. Only one area was forecast to be colder than usual, and that's us. West of the Cascades in Oregon and Washington. Despite what other folks are suffering around the country, I'm still grumpy about our weather.

The way I see it summer is our reward for putting with cold rain, strong wind storms and occasional snow. If we have a crappy summer then I feel as though nature didn't live up to the agreement.

My plants that are treated like babies are fine but my son's plants that get everything mother nature can throw at them look terrible. I have eaten two Bambino cherry tomatoes this week and they were pretty good. A Stupice plant has a red tomato that should be ready soon.

I have my plants along a south wall and they are protected by a large sheet of plastic. The plants look great, better than I thought possible.

Apparently I did not choose the year well when I decided to learn to garden. Starting early spring I was journaling my plantings and the weather patterns so that I could learn when was the best timing and what was normal for this area (I just moved here). HA! So much for learning the normal weather or when is the right time to plant! Now I just hope to see some fruit! I have five tomato plants and two tomatillos (along with a bunch of salad greens, beans, and peppers). My tomatillos look great. Lots of flowers and quite a lot more growth than the tomatos... there are a few flowers on those too. Now if the weather will just warm up a bit.

Yes, just a *little* warmer is all we ask! I do have a few little fruits on Stupice (of course, good ol' cool weather standby), Sun Sugar, Eva Purple Ball and Opalka. I've been more concerned about fungal diseases this time, since conditions will be so favorable for them.

This is the first year I've grown from seed and was hoping for a warmer spring than we had last year... oh well... I do however have tomatoes on five of my 17 varieties:

Azoychka - 5
Costoluto Fiorentino - 4
Black Cherry - 1
Kimberly - 9
Grushovka  1

They grow against a south facing garden wall in a raised bed Hope the weather turns warm soon! I have become obsessed with checking the long term weather forecast and keep getting dissapointed

Fingers are crossed...

Well, my onions are doing phenomenally.

As for my maters?

Sigh. :-/

Seattle area.
With my starts, I've had about 12 ripe ones, 3 of them today. Growth on them is OK, but not great. 1/4"-1/2" a day.
My mom gets a couple ripe cherries a day, maybe more now.
she's been picking since late may. Other people I gave plants to report getting ripe ones too.
Almost all of my plants have green tomatoes of one size or another. Glad I started my starts early(Dec 22nd).

My store bought starts haven't grown in the month they've been here. They just shiver and stare at the clouds.

Vancouver... lots of flowers.. big tall bushy plants.. no fruit yet.

Lettuce is doing wonderful in the cool wet ;)

nope, no fruit, not even close, unless you count the green ones on the unfortunate 4 inch pots that haven't gotten into the soil yet, the poor buggers.

Woohoo!

Saw a small green tomato starting this weekend!!.. let's hope the warm weather continues!!

Yes - Manitoba, Kanopus, Arkadia, Serenity, Sungold F1, SunSugar F1

Looks like the weather may be getting better soon. I'll keep my fingers crossed.

:)

I looked yesterday and I think I saw my first tiny Mortgage Lifter. There is still lots of dead/dying flower around it but I think it is a baby mater. If so I am effin excited.
