Great tips and useful tips that will be sure to help the newcomers to gardening. I bought a couple of tomato plants for my husband not realizing one was a cherry tomato which we don’t use as he likes them fried green. But the neighbors were really happy when I told them to come and get as many as they wanted.
I love to grow tomatoes. Big Boy, Early Girl, Better Boy, Super Boy, Roma, Fourth Of July just to name a few. I try to grow one or two heirloom each summer. It’s great to watch tomatoes grow from such a little plant to a huge mound of goodness. It’s a sad day when the first frost arrives and kills all my tomato plants.
@Raingardener: We had so many cherry tomatoes and yellow pear tomatoes that my wife kept taking them in and giving them to the ladies she works with. It’s great to share.
@Kochsgarden.com: We have only tried a few varieties of tomatoes at this point but we will try a few new ones for next growing season. Excited already.
