My tomato plants are going crazy
We are picking 15-20 tomatoes every day, and this is from two plants. They are covering an area 3'X10'. The wife has had the cannery operation cranked up for several days. We have made tomato juice, marinara sauce and bloody mary mix. Today we are canning ketchup.

We bought a few tomato plants & they must have been mislabeled, as most of them came up as cherry tomatoes. We have hundreds of them, so we're making "sundried" tomatoes from them in a dehydrator. Good in salads, on pizza, etc.

Congrats! Mine have done nothing this year! There is a local farmer that has some special variety that I can't think of the name of that are the best though. He leaves them on the plant for people to pick fresh.

I'm taking a couple dozen cherry tomatoes in every other day and the guys at work are eating them up :hurray: Nice and sweet too :drool: |

Aren't you in the 'Emerald Triangle?' What VB really wants to know is, how is that other crop going?

Nice problem to have. I love tomatoes. Tried for so many years to grow them here but we always got blossom end rot. Sucked to work so hard all summer and get few (if any) tomatoes. I think it's because we have a water softener so they have a calcium deficiency. At least that's what Google says.
I swore off trying to grow them years ago, but our son's friend gave us two seedlings about a month ago. Planted them on July 1st they were maybe 2 inches tall now they're over 4 feet. They grew so fast they flopped over. I was finally able to get some 4' bamboo stakes and prop them up yesterday. I used a mortar and pestle to crush up tons of egg shells and put them in the soil so I am hoping to get some good tomatoes. If this doesn't work I will never try again. |
