Grow Maters Grow!

Hi folks, I thought I'd give you a little update on the Great Tomato Race. Despite the cooler weather this past week, Cranberry has been steadily growing that little Cran-Mater.  I predict this little baby will be giving the Mater Master and the Mater Matic a run for their money... 
I mean a run for my beer!


Red is right behind her with a baby of her own.  What a pretty sight!  I've got a few other ol'yellers on my other plants that are just about to fall away and give me more little green guys, but to be fair, I won't count those until they emerge.  


Not only are the maters emerging, but the Super Seven have grown quite a bit since my last post.  Ella agreed to model them for you so that you could have a point of reference.  (She loves going into the garden as much as I do!)

Cherry, Cranberry and Red


Wildfire, Ruby, Scarlet and Rosie


It's been awful quiet out there... what's up guys, mater got your tongues?  Ah okay, to be fair the Mater Master is having some computer issues and he's been itching to post but can't.  
Poor Mater Master.  We'll be here when you get it sorted out.  In the meantime I'll keep everyone entertained!

Is it just me or does Ella seem to have a look of arrogance?  I think she's already decided who's winning this little contest!

Wow, those are some nice mater plants, certainly a lot taller than mine Was there a sale on "high nitrogen fertilizer" at the big box store?

Very nice job on the maters. Looks like you need a 9 foot cage for your plants. I have a patent on a great design - priced well too. Just let me know.

Yeah - nice job on training Ella to look a little arrogant. How did you accomplish that? Let me guess...

Anyway - don't count your 12-packs too soon. It ain't over yet. We are Rock'n with Rocky.. that little guy is getting so chubby and dense and now has over 30 flowers/maters on him. He's cranking them out - not growing up so much but really growing in the waistline like me.

Nah no nitrogen here, we know better than that at the Manual Mater Maker. They've only had the juice 1x since they've been off the porch. That height is from dirt, water, sunshine and lotsa grow how!! I'll have to count my flowers to see how many we got; there's just so many it's going to take some time.

PS: Ella takes after me so the arrogance just comes naturally! No training required.
