    update on the veggies. the lettuce is going nuts I harvested enough for a salad for 2 people today. I really need to get a dissovled salts meter so i can keep the nutrients at a safe level instead of guessing. the outdoor grow bag tomatoes are close to 2.5 ft tall and already have a couple flower clusters each. going to start fertilizing them tomorrow with a fruit oriented blend.

    What do you do about those bags getting top heavy once the plants really start getting big? The tomatoes in my cousin's garden have knocked the lattice work down because the plant is so large.

    if you look in the last 2 pictures i drove a 6 foot tall hardwood stake into the ground behind each bag. i am tying the plant to these as they grow when they reach the top i am going to run a wire to another anchor point and train the plant along that. I am also killing ALL suckers from the main stem so that they will a little easier to manage.
