My (newbee) small tomato garden
This is what I have started, I grew most of the plants from seeds, They were put in the ground on the 23rd of march. The container plant is a clipping from one of the other plants and it was planted on the 2nd of may. I also did 2 topsy turvy upside down with super sweet 100 cherry tomato's. I dont think I will do those again cause the wind has destroyed two plants. The ones in there now are doing good with one plant having over 200 tomato's on there and alot more blossoms. The plants in the garden are goliath, homesweet, better boy all grown from seeds and the other ( the small plant) is celebrity hybrid from walmart. I do get help from grandson cause I dont have a clue as to what to what Im doing.

Thanks everyone, He is a joy to have around and we are pretty happy with the results so far. I think this forum is going to be a big help in keeping them healthy.
SteveP....Yes we nearly are, When we relocated here 11 years ago joblin was one of the areas we were looking into. The wife has relatives here in oklahoma which is why we moved here. |

You need to be careful because compulsive tomato disease may be lurking near.
