First of all, it is growing much more on one side making it hard to keep in place.
Second, my silly laziness let the algae grow on the roots and the wick of the plant so i have to wash it off now.
Going to put some extra reinforcement on the side and put aluminum foil around the bottle to prevent the light to get in and cause algae growth.

In the back #garden, the #colours are dominated by the #reds and #greens of #plants and the #browns of the #soil.
Here, I think this #photograph captures the tangled #jungle nature of the #tomato plants with #fruit distributed around in various stages of ripeness.
In another part and in direct #sunlight are some #grapes developing nicely. The image is deceptive as they are quite small, less than 1 cm in diameter. You can also make out a #spider and its #web.
Lastly, here are #flowers of #RunnerBeans against the #blue #sky.

While it's hot and dry as the #summer is progressing, the #tomato #plants are beginning to bear ripening #fruit.
Here are some #tomatoes which are just about ready. I like to see the #Sun reflecting off their smooth shiny surfaces.
This bunch contains #red, #amber and #green ones.
Of course none of them would have come about without #pollinators and so here are a couple of images of #insects on neighbouring the #flowers of #rocket plants.

Update on the Dwarf determinate tomato cross f4 growout that I posted weeks back. I hope to find a few among 32 plants that have better than average flavor. #tomato #garden #gardening #Horticulture
8' steel posts are installed for tomato trellises. My soil is extremely stony making it an arduous task. Hortonova-type trellis will be attached with zip ties. #gardening #garden #tomato #plantbreeding
Our small Wyzard Tower garden has been producing enormous amounts of tomatoes. The principle I have enforced has been to let the plants grow wild with no pruning down to increase harvest. I like things to just go wild. It has sometimes gone a bit too wild, so some of those new gentrification pest neighbours are worried that their children would die due to falling tomatoes. Killer tomatoes.
My wife have this year tried beef tomatoes that in this cold climate, where all fruits and vegetables get intense aromas in a trade off with less crop, have tasted almost melon like. Our youngest daughter didn't fancy them, probably because they were to large, luscious, colourful and alien shaped. So we have had tomato salads every evening, and I have been eating rye bread with mayonnaise and tomatoes for lunch for quite some time. Now the chillies are soon ready for harvest and the tomatoes are over. As you can see on the last picture, we are ready for winter now, with the thyme, rosemary and the survivor pine tree as the only residents on the balcony. The rest of the spices have moved inside - (actually they are right now on display in some plastic recycling design project my wife has on exhibition right now - they will return shortly she has promised).
Next year we will return to the less frivolous sort of tomatoes and have many, many more chillies!
