You can not surpasses the flavor of home grown tomato, I mean the stuff at your local mega mart tastes like cardboard compared to ones you can grow yourself (or find at a nicely stocked farmer's market).Last year we started a garden on a whim. We planted late and went into it blind just doing whatever we felt like and by the time October rolled around we were left with little to show. So this year we planned, kind of.
I bought plants right after Mother's Day, we decided on not having a set list and just bought what we felt like. It took me a week to plant them, just got distracted. Then I watched them grow, flower, and produce like rabbits.
You can see what we ended up with tomato wise. That is only a third of what I have picked off the vines. I still have a lot more to go. I know I am going to sun roast many of them but other then that I can't figure out what to do with all of these. It is just insane what we got this year. Hmm I guess only time will tell.
I'm so jealous that you have a garden, you have no idea! The tomatoes look great, are they easy to grow?
ReplyDeleteThey are really easy to grow in pots. Lots of sun and TLC, the beefsteaks need a cage to hold them up each tomato weighed about a 1 1/2 each. So yeah a cage or some kind of support. Other then that there isn't a lot it needs.
