I was looking at my tomato plants and was kind of proud to see them coming along, I could even see a couple of tomatoes starting. I love watching them grow in size every day. Then my fishing buddy Jamie picked me up to go fishing and we stopped back at his place to put the canoe on the roof of the car. He showed me his tomato plants and I almost fell over. They were already three feet tall, while mine were still just pushing two feet. Why Were Paperhelp Plants So Big? I asked him what he was feeding them and he just laughed and said he wasn’t doing anything other than giving them water if they did it. Then he mentioned that when he plants things close to the house like his tomato plants they can be planted early season and they grow like weeds with the extra time in the ground and the heat provided by the sun beating off the house. Maybe I will plant my garden all around the outside of our house next year and see if I can get tomato plants to grow like that. Cucumbers Climbing on Lattice Jamie sent me a picture of one of his cucumber plants grabbing onto the lattice. I think this is an excellent way to guide the cucumber plant and save garden space. We have limited garden space this year as I didn’t have the energy I was hoping for and didn’t get to triple our garden size. It just got too hot to soon and I was done for. Maybe this fall my son will help me remove enough sod from the yard and we can increase the garden size for the next season. I really like the idea of using a lattice to guide creeping plants. It may even work for our zucchinis
