I’ve been wanting to grow heirloom tomatoes for quite awhile now, so am really looking forward to what we can do this fall. I never liked tomatoes until I started growing my own. There is something extremely tasty about a beautiful, meaty tomato you picked off the vine a few minutes before cutting into it. My mouth is watering as I type…
Wow,,,that is an ambitious inventory! I just made a second planting this morning of pole beans, snow peas and beats. I planted the pole beans to train on an arch,,,an idea from Karl at pile of omelays.
Homegrown tomatoes are THE BEST. Yum! We’ve had good and bad turnouts with the heirlooms: some just produce mushy big tomatoes, others have been delicious. There are so many varieties, and I love their names, indicative of where they’re from. Arkansas Traveler has always been a good one. Or Bloody Butcher! Though it doesn’t sound very appealing.
Nice blog AmLo farms!
