I am glad that my kids don't grow up so fast; it wouldn't be enough time to enjoy them. The tomatoes in patch 1 have broken the four foot mark. The Snow White cherry is growing horizontally too - some five feet across. What does this all imply?
1) Heirlooms are probably hardy by definition. That's probably how they made it through all these years.
2) They will probably reach some seriously unexpected height
3) They probably need less nurturing (low maintenance). They don't want to be fed too much, resent excessive watering and routinely defy staking.
I can't wait to see how these hardy creatures combat hornworms in a few weeks. The good news is, virtually every one of them has fruits in the making.
