Why I love Tomatoville!

jtjmartin · August 15, 2017

2 years ago, I was struggling to produce ANY tomatoes between the deer, squirrels, pests and disease. I grew just a few types of tomatoes.

This year:

1) I grew 60 different types of tomatoes - almost all graciously donated by T-villians! Thank you.

2) I grafted many of my tomatoes with patient guidance from T-villians! Thank you.

3) I used lean and lower and my 12 - 15 foot vines are still producing. Thank you T-ville!

4) I'm using a combination of bleach, copper, and daconil to fight disease - I have the best looking tomato and squash plants ever. Thank you T-ville!

5) I'm using a variety of strategic insect controls . . . learned right here on T-ville.

6) I've saved many seeds this year so that I can give back - one tomato was even accepted into the Nifty Fifty! (Thanks Tormato!)

This year has had a lot of personal & family challenges. Gardening has consistently given me the peace I needed to be sane! (Well, somewhat sane.)

I love Tomatoville!
