Our Yellow Pear Tomato has been planted in the sheep watering tank that sits inside our old dog kennel.
Far Guy has various forms of anchoring in place....cages, wires and fence posts. This year the sheep tank sits on cement blocks. Perhaps I can forego the ladder this year when picking the tomatoes.
It is a nice spot up against Tilly's garage, a little protected from the winds and the kennel should keep out deer...maybe.

Our latest gardening adventure began with the purchase of a watering tank for sheep. Way last winter I noticed that there was one for sale at the local Farm Store. I wrote down the numbers, went inside paid for it and it even fit in the vehicle.
Far Guy built a stand for it when he was feeling better. We located it behind my garage where it gets full sun and it is protected from the north west winds. We gathered a few rocks to put in the bottom to help with drainage.
We had plans to start our own tomatoes but that just didn't work out...so I did the next best thing and we shall see what we get.
How can you resist a tomato that is already flowering?
It is an unknown tomato it could be anything...I was just sold on the flower...so it is a surprise tomato!
We both like Yellow Pear tomatoes. Who knew a yellow tomato could have such great flavor!
This one is a Rutgers...it will be red...and I hope it tastes good!
I bet y'all are curious to see the sheep tank?
Far Guy chose wood that was available. Red Green would be proud.
We have a fence that will be set up soon as we get some extra help...cause the deer will be interested.
