There is something cathartic about growing vegetables. So we decided to plant 17 tomato plants (14 varieties)...16 in tubs and 1 in one of those hanging thingees. They plants were 6" tall when planted on Good Friday (we were always told to plant your garden on Good Friday). Now they are 9 feet tall and loaded with tomatoes...big ol' fat ones, smaller globe-like, and even cherry and grape size (the so-called choco-cherry are fantastic tasting...but, frankly, they all are).
With so many you can't eat them all just as "good 'ol slicers" so July 1st we cooked up and canned 36 jars of tomato relish. Talk about a feeling of accomplishment!!!!
Try it yourself. It's not too late to plant and be harvesting before the first frost (unless, of course, you live in International Falls or Duluth).
