We love tomatoes too. Last year was utter failure for most of hubby’s tomatoes. He used old jiffy mix against my advice, and they were just stunted and did diddly squat.
So I went to Walmart and got two tomato plants and put them into buckets and they did pretty good. Also had some volunteers come up in the middle of some lilies, that were kinda like grape shaped, and had a good flavor, so I saved some of those seeds.
I have separate tomato strains for fresh eating, drying, spaghetti sauce and fending off my tomato-addicted childbeast. :) I just transplanted two peach tomato seedlings and am watching them like a hawk - they’re not productive, but they taste SO incredibly good.
