God knows I wait for my home grown tomatoes each year and I was a happy man early in the season...........BUT.........the deer have ruined my plants and in addition to a dry season I have the sickest looking tomato plants in the neighborhood.
Guess I'll have to invest in DEER SCRAM next year a/o Miracle grow........Then I'll have the most expensive tomatoes in the neighborhood!:shrug:

tomatoes are my favorite food. i love the damn things. i eat them sliced, i eat tomato sandwiches (on toast with salt, pepper and mayo) and i even eat them fried. i estimate i've eaten about 12 a week this year, maybe more.

i don't grow them, my FIL does and he usually has more than I can handle but this year he didn't get chit. the rabbits got his and we haven't had any rain all summer.

i've been getting them from the local veggie stands and they were pretty good this year but i've definitely had better.

it's all over now and i rarely find decent ones in the grocery stores, so i'll wait until next summer.

love tomatoes

I had two bushs this year and produced more tomatoes than I could eat. I had to water them
through the season. Gave alot away too.

If the last food on earth was tomatoes I think I could live on them.

weeds out& moisture in.Also use some Miracle-
garden soil when I dig the hole for them in the
Spring.Noyhing better pick one& eat it like a apple
with salt,pepper,&lemon juice. Had some groundhog problem`but my 89 year-old neighbor

:com: can't stand those things! People try to give them to me all the time too. Anybody that had them around here had to water them the whole summer. They don't fare too well in a drought.

Bumper crop of everything in the garden this season--2nd wettest summer on record around these parts--I think we watered a couple of times after planting and then it was a battle controlling the weeds after that...:D

We've canned a few cases of tomatoes since they started ripening, and there is a tub of fresh salsa in the fridge right now....:00hour

you in the upper Midwest, Benny? EVERYONE that I know that has a garden tells this same story when asked how their plants grew this season.
