This was one massive tomato! I'm so happy about my garden this year. I have to say that I'm a firm believer in mixing one's own soil. I really believe that is why the garden has done phenomenally better this year than in previous years. I was careful to follow the soil "recipe" for proper nutrients and here are the results. My garden has had less pest problems and that fungus that was trying to take hold has been vanquished. My plants are bigger than me and the produce is amazing. Of course there's always room for improvement - my chamomile and dill will vouch for that. It seems that I'm having the most trouble with "wispy-type" plants. I think there is some small bug or some kind of disease that has been plaguing them this year. I went out and bought another dill plant but it's coming down with what the other one had, so I think I'm going to put my energy into planting some sweet potato slips and maybe root some tomato suckers for more plants/tomatoes in the fall. This is the time in the garden I work so hard for. The produce is rolling in and the only real work I do is make sure they have water (and of course daily checks for any upcoming problems). You go garden!
I'm so very happy
looking at my plants
They're not very sappy
and they resist the ants
