I've learned ants aren't the problem. I agree with Queen of Green. The problem usually comes with another pest the ants stay close too. I had ants on my sunflowers and I couldn't understand why the plants ... more » |

Thanks ladies! I'm glad to hear I don't need to keep up my egg removal strategies; super tedious and really kinda grossed me out! |

Last week closed up with some incredible weather and we finally got the tomatoes in the ground. We are so happy. They are so happy! Everybody is happy! We have 156 tomato plants of 28 varieties (speaking strictly for those in the tower system; we have other volunteers around the garden, but those will be a surprise). Our strongest... ...see more |

I got out into the garden at about 6pm today after a good 24 hours of rain, ready to photograph and put out a good update here on the site of all the fantastic things that are "growing on" in the garden. As I was doing the rounds, looking at what was putting out blooms, what was coming up here and there, what was setting fruit,... ...see more |

I am very excited as we are getting close to planting the tomatoes. I copied these towers from the Grandfather of our local gas station owner. He's 91 and still gardens vigorously everyday. The bamboo was harvested from a stand at the edge of our property and another batch is coming in this year that we'll harvest as well. It's... ...see more |

I really wish I was a tomato expert. But I am planting heirlooms for the first time this year. I have made a couple notations, but I sure others will be more helpful. :) GREE... more » |

Of the tomatoes on your list, I only have experience with Cherokee Purple, Rutgers, Green Zebra, and Yellow Pear. My opinion of Yellow Pear is different from JMTKMS. It's actually one of my lea... more » |
