This was the second trip to Marshpond Farm to take photos of the Captain's plants. In spite of drought, lack of cash, and lack of time, these plants have been treated like royalty - and it shows. Grandfather Ashlock is definitely the belle of the ball on the right side of the fence, but the left side tomato patch is a complete hedge of thriving healthy plants from our colleague, Jennifer Mattern, who is pretty much green from her pinky toes up to her foramen magnum.

| Britain's Breakfast blossom cluster. Britain's is considered a multiflora variety, as you can see from this huge bouquet of unopened flowers. |

| Love the stump garden full of Hinkelhatz hot peppers! |

| A pot full of Matchbox (from Fedco Co-Op in Maine) hot peppers sucks up the heat just in front of Andy's florida room. |

| The right-hand tomato bed at Marshpond Farm: Grandfather Ashlock is front and center, with Peacevine Cherry peeping out on the right hand side. Assorted oxhearts and elongated paste tomatoes are planted just at the left of Grandfather Ashlock. |

| To the left of Grandfather Ashlock: Maruskin's Andes and Polish Linguisa. Hartford is too short this year to see, but you can still see Peacevine Cherry sticking its wild tentacles out from behind Grandfather. Great stick teepees for these tomatoes. |
