Tomatoes Anyone?

  Re: (...)
Although I'm not particularly fond of touching tomato plants (you get that smell all over you...yuk!) I planted my 7th one today and will plant my 8th tomorrow. I'll have 4 in the ground and 4 in the Topsy-Turvy hanging thingies. The ones in the ground are: Sun Gold Cherry, Sweet Million, a yellow pear, and a Glacier that is a little bigger than a cherry tomato. Hanging: Momotaro (a popular Japanese), 2 Super Marzanos, and a Big Beef. For someone that considers tomatoes just OK, I'll sure have enough.
Don't wait too long to tell someone you love them.

There is in this house...Paul won't eat cooked tomatoes (except Campbell's Tomato Soup.) so those over a handful for a salad will be going to the neighbors or family.

Gotta love ya, Billy, all that work and you give them away. Hmmm, maybe I should move in next door so I can be the recipient of the fruits of your labor

No tomatoes for me this year, the Japanese beetles destroyed everything last year, I'm growing some herbs but am moving them to a different location in the yard-I can't plant anything in the ground, because we have a sprinkler system and I can't mess with the pipes.

Good Luck!!

Billy, I love that tomato-plant smell!
We're off to visit my parents this weekend and I hope that my Dad will have some extra plants to share since mine all seem to have wilted and died. I just cannot seem to grow them from seed (unless they're volunteers...).

We've put in 10 tomato plants, some mystery varieties from my BIL, brandywine, yellow plum, romas, cherries. We LOVE tomatoes and look forward to them every year. Also have some leaf lettuce, beets, broccoli, cauliflower, and herbs.

What a nice variety you got, Billy. Be sure to take some pics later on this summer to show us. Sure wish I was one of your neighbors! We love tomatoes and there is no such thing as too many. Are you going to plant anything else, like something you do enjoy?

Lol wow I'm impressed. All I did was plant one plant as I'm the only one that eats them. But seems my cherry tomatoes from last year has made an appearance. I now have 1 large full tomato plant and 4 cherry tomatoe plants.

I envy you guys who have enough room to plant all these different varities!
