This year the experiment garden is all about tomatoes.
I have never had much luck growing tomatoes which I blame on the fact that they do not thrive on neglect. However, this year I planted six tomato plants in my special little plot and will devote to them the attention they deserve. Or so I say now. The purpose of this experiment is to find out how much fruit, measured by weight, these plants will produce. All six plants are heritage tomatoes that I started from seed. There are three Livingston Perfection, one Moscow, one Urbanite and one Howard German. They got off to a late start due to the cold, wet spring but I think they will come ahead just fine. The first task is to build a fence to keep unwlecome animals out.
