yes indeed

 

a warm tomato , perfectly ripe, picked from your own garden 

 

is a true delight.

 

I used to grow 24 tomato plants, in home made wire cages , soaker-hose watered , under a black plastic sheet

 

8 per row.  that's what a ' snaked 'soaker hose would cover well.

 

I started the seeds indoor in late jan.   moved the seedlings to 1 liter plastic jugs that had been band-sawed top to bottom and

 

re-sealed w clear packing tape.  the tomats when planted had a packed 1 liter ' root-ball '  and were 3 ft tall

 

they were plated on their sides w just the tip showing , as tomatoes root from their stem

 

i could hear them grow !

 

those were the days !

 

the local squirrels thought the same thing.

 

but there was enough to go around.
