2019 Spring Garden Southern Utah: Tomatoes


Here are some pictures of my tomato plants when they were first planted in April 2019. I bought plants as opposed to starting these from seed. My town is in growing zone 8a.

Pictures from May of the same plants. I've done a lot of pruning of these plants so that I can find the tomatoes that have ripened! We had a Spring that was cooler and wetter than normal, and the plants grew like crazy!

We started harvesting these in May as they ripened. Here is a picture of today's haul. I harvested some large Celebrity tomatoes yesterday that we used for dinner, but didn't get a picture. Below, these Juliet tomatoes are prolific and are shaped like an oversized grape. Tasty yet sturdy.
