Thank you!

I'll sure try to keep on it.

I feel like most of my photos are the times when I've put a lot of work into the garden and it doesn't look like a total mess. Like, "I'm taking pictures of this!!" hahahaha

Thanks, oakley.

After all of this talk about GGWT, I'm really amped up over it.

To top it all off, GGWT is going to be the first ripe tomato this year.

I saw a couple of 1st truss fruits starting to blush this evening.

I'm amazed. I can't even hardly wait to see how they taste!

I had one for lunch today!! You will NOT be disappointed. Marsha insisted that I grow these in one of her seed offers, and boy was she right! It has excellent disease resistance too!

Hahahaha!

The butterflies are real. That would be hilarious, though. Balancing them on the flowers for a quick shot.

Good to hear, Spartanburg123!

If GGWT tastes as good as everyone says, it'll be a keeper for me. I'm amazed by the percentage of them that are really whoppers in size and it has been really early in my garden. I just need to taste it and I'll be happy! Just a few more days.

Thanks, MdTNGrdner!

Blackstar, Blackberry and Indian Stripe - because I feel like I keep forgetting to get shots of how some of them are doing.

IS is our best overall tomato. year after year it produces well, taste great, and rarely has issues. I'm amazed how good your plants look & how loaded they are. Do you fertilize? What is your system?

Thanks!

Will do, bower.

I add around 30-40% composted rabbit/chicken/everything I can find to the beds in the Spring and from there, they stay on a steady diet of Espoma Tomato Tone.

I feel like it always does a nice job for me and it's affordable.

I think they're pretty tasty. Other folks seem to think so also but maybe they're just being nice to me, hahaha
