Not seeing a lot of bees this year


Other than my own honeybees, which are flying right over my garden , same. Bumble bees are typically the work horses in my garden and I haven’t seen any yet.

However, I’m hoping that changes soon. The flag has been raised! And more to come soon.


Still picking a crap ton of blackberries.



ETA: I noticed my first tomato in the breaker stage yesterday. A San Marzano. I guess that means the flood gates are about to open.

How have you managed your romas in the past? I read don't worry with pruning or suckering. But it turns them into little dense bushes. And how long do they dump fruit? I've not messed with determinates until this year.

man those look awesome. What variety are they?

I'm on my third year with Kiowa from Ison's. I'm considering digging them up and replacing with another variety. The berries are plentiful but they're not any bigger than wild berries. Not even as big as a dewberry. I prune and fertilize them. Not sure why they're so damn tiny.
