I was looking over the topics we have in our Gardening Forum. I was shocked to see the hits on this thread. There is nothing read nearly as much as this topic on Tomatoes.
Here we are in much of the world in the midst of harvesting our favorite garden produce. After a few years of not having a great harvest, it has been refreshing to be eating my own tomatoes. While I erred in choosing only two heirlooms, one of which I don't like, it was a good lesson for me. I will always plant that which I like best, even though they may not produce as much, or even fail in a particular year. I am not complaining, for I have a lot of Better Boys. And a few Volkovs. All of my tomatoes are small this year. Not sure if it is me or a general trend in my area. Others have experienced a similar harvest of smaller tomatoes.
My ground is clay and has been fallow for 30 years with few leaves falling on the soil. As I improve the soil, I expect to see a better yield. Greens, squash, and eggplants have done well. Melons were ok. I have planted trees also. They have been planted in amended holes, and are doing great.
Anyone else having fun with your tomatoes?
