Julianna,
I have been back~logged, as usual with me,
but I wanted to get back to this post...
The day we were all talking about these tomatoes, I had gotten a book in the mail and they were in there....The catalog was
www.kitchengardenseeds.com it was so neat to read up on them and see them...
cherry tomato that never makes it into the house..those are for snacking, especially by our 5 yr old
I have to say the same thing and for me toooooo,
I walk around the yard with them in my hands, or a pocket or something, *but I have to make very sure I remember that they are in there
I've forgotten them once or twice
and ended up with tomato on my shirt...
How tall has your "Brandywine" tomato plants gotten? Mine regular Beefsteaks' are tall, plus they are in raised beds, so they're tall...
What do you do with your tomatoes that get really tall? Just outta curiousity??
Cages, stakes, let them sprawl on the ground???
I haven't given it a huge thought as to what to do for tomatoes this year yet???
I have time yet, I can't get out there to plant even my seeds yet until around the end of April,
*we've been known to have snow storms here late, so even in the greenhouse, I can still loose them.
I am going to plant the Rutgers again.
They were okay.. and I have to admit, I get alot of "volunteer's" in my compost....
****I've threatened for a few years, instead of buying plants, I was just going to throw a shovel full of compost into a hole and get my tomato plants that way...only thing is, it's pot luck to see which tomato I get until they start flowering and even producing some times...
