We've been having heavy rain in NC on and off for a few days now. I went out to the garden today and I have a tomato! I am so excited!

Is it too late to plant one in a bucket?
We grow those every year. They certainly produce, don't they?Originally Posted by rapunzel47
We only do cherry tomatoes now -- Sweet 100s -- Garden Candy.The seedlings (6 of them) went into their tubs a couple of weeks ago, and are getting fat and sassy, but aren't ready to produce yet. It'll be a few weeks. I can't wait.
They do, indeed! And we pig out.Originally Posted by AbbysMom

Oh, those are strange looking! We're not adventurous anymore. When we first starting growing tomatoes, we tried several varieties, with mixed success. I used to really like Romas, but they never performed for us in the garden. But the Sweet 100s always performed, so we've just settled on them. We're so spoiled by the hydroponic Camparis that I just buy those when I want something larger than the cherry varieties.Originally Posted by AbbysMom
I've also planted Roma tomatoes and these:

They just looked too strange to pass up.
We only have flowers on our plants at this point. We won't see tomatoes for quite a while.
I like the black tomatoes, too. I didn't plant any this year...I've had a little less success with the heirlooms. But I think they're so neat. I am also considering buying a Mr. Stripey. (If I can find someplace to put him!) He would produce big yellow tomatoes with red stripes. I've tried growing one before, but it didn't work out. I think that was the year we had a hailstorm...Originally Posted by AbbysMom

There are 27 tomatoes on my cherry plant and about 4 or 5 on each of the others.
Oooh...those are yum-my!Originally Posted by AbbysMom
