Tomatoes planted this year - Page 2

Mireille · May 23, 2006

All my backyard will be tomato plants. And flowers but fewer than the past years. I plant only 40 varieties last year because I did not know about heirloom tomatoes and OP tomatoes and this year I will plant about 250. It will be the same quantities for the next years, because ........., no more space. But it's OK like that, I will give tomatoes to my friends, my children, my neighbourghood and I will keep the seeds to make more exchange this fall. Of course I will eat them too.

Your French is pretty good GWNorth. Ça me fera un grand plaisir d'échanger avec toi.

At last, everything is in the garden. Since last thursday we have 88 and 90 degrees. It's pretty hot for that time of year. But my tomato plants seem to like it. A lot of work planting 321 varieties. And I am so happy it is done.

so how grows it?

I am trying De Barrao black for the first time, got it at a local nursery! (go indie nurseries!)

I just planted my tomatoes for Spring 2009. My 2001 Sungold seeds from Shepherds Seeds (remember them?) were the first to sprout. I planted 12/23 and Sungold is up.

Wow.

How do you support so many tomatoes? This year I am planting more tomatoes than I have in a long time but still a fraction of what you are doing. Feldon’s suggestion of the Florida weave seems to be my likely solution.
