Back in Oregon I had to add lime to the soil. A friend's father buried fish heads and fish bones under the soil were he planted tomatoes. (He also threw in handfuls of hair.) He had huge plants and wonderful tomatoes. I tried that but must not have buried the fish deep enough the first time because the dog dug it up. I had to rebury it! Looks like a great harvest to me! Our tomatoes plants burned in the sun this year.Christyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03995419027453966534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1856146401259112165.post-87430702558343716342009-09-28T15:33:49.768-07:002009-09-28T15:33:49.768-07:00I can so relate to this post about gardening.

We got a ton of our Sungold (cherry) tomatoes and only two of the larger Better Boy variety. I picked a handful of Romas recently, too. But we have a ton of green ones on the vines on all four varieties we planted and I don't think there will be much time for them to get red.<br /><br />I need to find a sunnier spot for my tomatoes next year. Kind of hard in the woods, though! And, I don't think the cooler weather helped much either. :)<br /><br />~ JenniferJunkyard Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17532851755104536911noreply@blogger.com
