These three Mortgage Lifter tomatos seem to have it in mind to take over my entire garden. Right now they are about eight feet tall and ten feet wide and still expanding. At least they are finally producing some ripe tomatos. If I don't do something soon my green peppers are going to get swallowed up.

Gee Hoodat, I seem to be having a hard time working up any sympathy for you ;) .
I mean, I'm sure it must be terrible to have to use a gps to navigate through your tomato plot, it's just not something I'm likely to have to worry about.

So, no sympathy here, just a lot of tomato envy :D !

You know what they say. Too much of a good thing. I hate to start cutting back but I have to do something if I want green peppers this year.

Let me be by myself in the evenin' breeze,
And listen to the murmur of the cottonwood trees,
Don't send me off forever, I ask you please,
Just fence me in. ♪ ♫

I like the flavor of Mortgage Lifters or I wouldn't put up with the space hogs. They go wild like that every year.

Nice looking tomatoes hoodat, think I'll print a pic and take it out to the garden to show our maters what they should look like!
