I’d really like to know how you grew tomatoes in Florida. When we lived in California my husband grew the most amazing tomatoes, I mean prize winning type tomatoes, the envy of the neighborhood tomatoes. We tried here, we built a raised bed, planeted, watered, tended bought all sorts of things for the tomoatoe plants, spent about $400.00 and had ONE tomatie. It is the most expensive tomatoe in history! What oh what did we do wrong?

Could there be a more regal end for those two little tomatoes? I think not.

What a wonderful Christmas gift – fresh tomatoes. They look to-drool-for! Wish I could see your TV moments. Curse Microsoft Media Player!

I hope you and the family had a wonderful Christmas!

‘A’ is often in a smart shirt, isn’t he?
And your younger ‘un is the snappy, trendy dresser, huh?
Happy new year, Mrs Steamy!
P.S. Make something that sizzles like hell for your next show.

A few comments as I also grow the Fall/Winter tomatoes…..In Tampa, Florida.

I have four bushes this year; 2 Better Bush, 1 Roma and 1 cherry….and I also threw in an eggplant.

I planted 2nd week of September…perhaps a couple of weeks early. However, the fruit is flowing in and I am giving away cherry and roma tomatoes.

I found in the poor soil of Tampa that I got much better results using large plastic planters (20-30 inches across) and filling them with Home Depot’s Garden Soil. I then fertilize every three-four weeks as well. They grow with abandon.

For those unfamiliar with home-grown, the skins are a lot tougher, but that is well offset by a burst of flavor no store-bought fruit will match.
