Mulching and Other Maintenance

Yesterday I finally took the time to apply mulch around the tomato plants. This should help keep the soil moist and cool, and help limit weeds. I also did a bit of pruning and tying of the plants that needed it.

The hot weather has helped the tomatoes mature. In the past week I've picked 7 tomatoes. I will keep a summary of tomato pickings for this season. I hope to prepare some statistics later on, and maybe compare the yield to the reasonably good harvest of the 2004/2005 season.
