Tomatoes growing in the garden during January 2011

A few good looking tomatoes growing in the raised garden bed during January 2011.

New growth on tomato in December 2010

This photo was taken December 19th, 2010 here in Arizona. Can you believe new growth during December!? This tomato is really strong and has been in this location for over 1 year. It has vined up into the Anaheim pepper next to it for protection from the elements.

Grape tomato is doing great - Almost 1 year old!!!

Have a look at our grape tomato. It's doing very well with it's best friend the Anaheim pepper next to it. Can you believe this great tasting grape tomato has been kept alive and producing tomatoes after this EXTREME Arizona summer!

Record breaking heat this weekend

It is so amazing to me to think that even with record breaking heat this weekend our peppers and tomatoes are doing great. I guess it proves that deep and infrequent watering really works to keep your trees and plants healthy.

If I remember right, the high for Saturday was said to be 109 degrees, breaking the old record of 107 degrees set back in 1980.

Grape tomato still growing through all this Arizona heat & sun

Look at this grape tomato still thriving in our Arizona summer heat. It has found a great companion in the Anaheim pepper next to it. It has everything it needs to keep  producing nice grape sized tomatoes. Pretty cool since all the other tomatoes kicked the bucket about a month and a half or so ago.

Heat is wilting our Arizona tomatoes

The heat is hitting our tomatoes hard today. A little tomato leaf wilt doesn't bother that much, I know it actually helps them produce a better tasting harvest.

I'm going to try and save these tomatoes as long as I can. The 4 tomato plants we have give us about 10 or so tomatoes every few days.
