retirement is over

Alrighty then. I have had tomato withdraws. I will be planting my garden again next year. Tried everything but "tomatoes anonymous"

Boy, I really missed growing them this year. Tried 5 plants in yard, but the rain was too little and I had to let 4 of them go. Still have one.
Had a separate water source at the garden which was available to my yard.
I was doing good until someone gave me a sack of heirlooms. YUM! Still trying to find out what the one was. I have never ever had a tomato that good. It was long and was pink red in color and had a long point on the end. Hope he knows what it was. Would like to grow it.

Is it possible it's Opalka? (but Opalka is red)

How on earth did you think you could not have a tomato garden?! Glad you realized that was a huge mistake
