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.
