Figured I would update you before we get slammed by Hurricane Irene today. Took these pictures yesterday during the calm before the storm. Not sure what will be left come Monday.
The tomato plants are now 5' 6" tall. The very large tomatoes on the bottom are just starting to ripen and change color. I had to tie them up as the stems were starting to split because of the weight. Still have lots more tomatoes growing mid plant and more ready to start on top. I now have 4 watermelons growing 2 are almost the size of footballs and 2 just larger than a baseball. The plant is stretching out all over the place. Still the plants are using approx 4 - 6 gallons per day depending on how hot it is.
