I eat my own.

It's time to say sayonara to Faith Jr.  The idea of a namesake tomato is a bit strange.  You know how they say some people are so mean they eat their own.  So here I am, eating my own... tomato. 

Here is Faith Jr. on July 31st.  Notice the other tomatoes on the bunch are much larger.  Hurry up and ripen already!!!!

This picture was taken on August 2nd.  Notice the large BER scar.

The tomato sure looks great from the top.  

I ate it for breakfast.  Except for the BER.  That was chucked in the compost bucket. 

Both of the tumbling tom plants have started to ripen.  One tumbling tom I gave to a friend.  It was mislabeled as a red tumbling tom because the tomatoes ripened yellow.  

Yeah.  Like a mad wolf I eat my own tomatoes.  Unless under serious gastric distress I will continue that barbaric practice until I'm too old to garden. Or suddenly develop a tomato allergy.  Awooooo!

Okay I just have to add my own 2 cents...love it that you devoured Faith Jr. because beauty is not always skin deep - just beware for those nasty bottoms!

The other tomatoes are taking their grand old time. It might be the only greenhouse ripened tomato I get to eat this year.

Moose dropping N-P-K

According to this UAF link, Moose droppings are this nutritious for your garden, and mine:

"Moose droppings have the following fertilizer equivalent values during the months of May and June: Moisture 74%, nitrogen 2.5%, phosphate (P205) 1.8%, potassium (K20) 1.2%, zinc 0.6%, calcium 1.6% and magnesium 0.7%. The nutrient values for moose droppings during the winter months is less than 50% of the summer values.1"

My take: Moose dropping N-P-K is 3-2-1, according to the pros at UAF. So compost moose poo all you want.
