I hope to post photos of the tomatoes this week. Lots of growth since they were planted almost a month ago. Most are about 24" tall (except the Husky Red dwarf). Had a mishap with one of the Earthboxes, and dumped the Isis Candy off the driveway. One survived, but I had to replace the other with something else. There are blooms on everything, but no fruit set. I'll be planting peppers in some more EBs soon. Seems remarkable, but the recommendation is six pepper plants per box. I'm going to be conservative and plant only four peppers per box.

I'm still having trouble with my knees, but making progress. The second surgery was successful, but recovery will be slow. I hope to be out of the wheelchair by fall. I had another surgery a week ago. Hopefully that will address the root cause of the bone and tendon weakness.
