Thanks for the information. I was concerned about using them to cook with this season. I’ll plant them, even if I get less yield it will be fine. I’m originally from Ohio also, boy do I miss Ohio river tomatoes!!
I’m down in SC now and this is my first year growing plants in the south. The bugs destroyed my strawberry plants, something is pulling up my onions, the watermelons are slow but coming along. The only thing that appears to be doing great are my pole beans.
Between the bugs, critters and heat gardening down here is going to be more difficult that when I gardened in Ohio.
btw, I don’t know where you get your garlic starts, but I have had a lot of success with Territorial Seeds. They have some crazy varieties!
But they can be chosen by climate. I used to pick the ones from Poland and Russia when I lived in Ohio. I suspect they have some for more moderate climates like SC?
