Tomato Questions

[reconeil]

Forgot whom with or how many of us discussed tomatoes last year. But, was wondering how any of the helpful hints worked-out for you all? For me, with only 12 plants,...it was/is the best year ever. Was just out sweating my-ass-off picking about 30-40 pounds of what look like half green and pink baby pumpkins, which are actually Jersey Big Boys and/or large Beefsteak Tomatoes. Yesterday did about same, and in a few more days expect to do same.

Followed my own normal advice, EXCEPT greatly increasing the size of hole for planting and therefore greatly increasing the mix to fill same 12 holes. Used 2 wheelbarrows of fill/mix this year for the 12 plants. Whatever,...it sure paid-off.

Only problem ran into, was having to partially pull out my stakes and lean the plants up against the house, since plants with bunches of grandaddies (one weighed-out at over a pound and a half and/or about 3/4 Kilo), don't stay up very well.

Regardless, hope to hear that you others also did well. After all, plenty dried manure/Bovung, good top soil, sand and peat mix should work just as well anywhere. And,...that's no sh!t.
