I am getting a late start on this blog, but we will recap our Spring, bit by bit. First, the tomatoes.
Tomato Row
Both of us have a love affair with tomatos. Last year we had 19 different plants. This year, due to a tragic soil virus, we lost all of our tomato plants that we had started from seed and grow lights. 30 plants withered and dried out before our eyes.
We mourned our beloved tomatos and began again!
We dug out the grass, added compost and potting soil, painstakingly constructed a makeshift fence (only moderately dog-proof) and planted our new friends!
I tell you, it won't be the same as starting them from seed, but at least we aren't totally out for the season. We also have a ton of volunteer plants coming up in between our other veggies. We'll see if we can salvage any of those.
Here's a great link to view tons of tomato varieties: http://njaes.rutgers.edu/tomato-varieties/
