Hi everybody,
My first post here, but not my last.
I am new here, but belong to a lot of other tomato boards. I have been growing tomatoes for most of my adult life, so over 40 years (I'm 65 this year) and have apparently become an addict. Last year was a bad one for me.... I had about 65 tomato plants in the ground and harvested 1 Carbon(wonderful taste and early), a couple of Kimberlys, and a few Sungold. My total crop devastated by blight. So I am hoping for better this year(how could it be worse??, I'm sure there's a way). I still plan to get 60+ plants in the ground with about 30 varieties. I'm still after the perfect tomato(for me).
I'll be talking to many of you here I am sure.
Happy Gardening,
Tom
