I have really enjoyed collecting a handful or so of ripe cherry tomatoes every day to eat with lunch. I had a bunch of volunteers shaped like grapes, that came up in the day lily bed of all places. So I saved some of those seeds to plant next year.
I bought a sweet million that grew to the top of the tomato cage and then hung down to the patio by the end of summer. At one point it looked like a Christmas tree. Next year, I’m growing several pots of the cherry tomatoes, and maybe a roma or two. Hubby only got about 10 stunted romas this year. I think he planted over 40 plants, but used Jiffy mix starter and they were scrawny and never recovered.
Yes, i would like to get some super sweet cherry tomatoes, but butternut squash has been my main crop in the limited space we have. They need little care, and squirrels often take a bite out of the big tomatoes, yet they leave squash alone for the most part, and it is so hard that the most they get if they do bite it are only small pieces.
What is your favorite fertilizer?
