Interested in hearing everybody’s favorite tomato variety. I love Cherokee purple, mortgage lifter, a good beefsteak. So do the deer. :(
The past several years my production has gone way down. I end up with plants that just look diseased. It has been frustrating as I have thought it was soil nutrition/minerals. I need to build raised beds so I can start with fresh soil.
Do you practice crop rotation? I rotate my crops, but I mostly grow tomatoes in buckets or pots of potting mix, and it seems to help keep the disease down. Hubby still grows his in the garden plots and rotates on 3 year cycle.
I love a big mortgage lifter for a one slice covers the bread or bun sandwich. The grape cluster type - IIRC sweet million, for snacking. Roma for a salad or sauce/cooking.
