Tomato/Okra Update, Oh, and Some Peas, Too

I have 8 fall tomatoes in the ground now, planted on the first row of the garden.  From right to left are 4 Solar Fire, 2 Heat Wave II, and 2 Creole.   The Solar Fire went in about a week ago, and have already double in size thanks to this nearly every day rains we are getting.   The Okra are starting to establish as well.  

Today, I also fertilized each plant with Alfalfa pellets and Garden-tone.   The plan was to drench with compost tea as well, but time rain out, so that will have to be done in a few days when time allows.

Okra and Tomatoes

I finally got the Okra seedlings in the ground, a month late.  Shame on me.  I also got 4 Solar Fire Tomatoes to try for the fall and just put them in.  The Bell Pepper plants still look good, too.
