All around the Tomato Boys’ backyard garden, plants, are twisting, turning, and shooting upward in a frenzied Race to the Top.
Out in front are the tomatoes (No surprise there- we started them in February). Compared to last year, these babies are gigantic. Some already have green fruits on them.
Nipping at the heals of the Tomatoes are the Blue Lake pole beans. Although, they’re not currently winning, I would say that they’re the favorites to win. Last year, they out grew our 6′ tall trellis. Who knows what they’ll accomplish with our taller bamboo trellises this year.
Rounding up the rear are the corn and Brussels sprouts. They were started late in the season, but can grow really tall. I wouldn’t count them out yet!
Here’s a before and after shot of the corn. They have come so far in just over a month.
