    I was at the dentist's AGAIN this morning, the dental assistant told me that she tried planting those upside down tomato bags last summer. She said they did 'ok'.....but the ones they planted in the 5 gallon white buckets did alot better. She figured it was the larger volume of soil available...

    I may have to re-think my setup. When the romas start ripening, many drop. Often they'll rot before I can pick them up. Great timing, I was going to plant them tomorrow. Thanks Steve! I'm going to do some googling myself (thanks for the keywords, Paul)....I wonder if that method of watering...

    Looks good, Steve! I've never seen watering done like that....in between the rows. Does that encourage better root growth?

    Thanks Steve, I remember reading about a smaller round tomato that they developed, but that was a long time ago. This new variety I've been growing for a couple years now is close to that. I liked the name "Hard Rock".....but it actually is a description. They did very well out in the garden...

    I start tomatoes inside from seed, I grow them under shop lights in my laundry room....keeping the top of the leaves as close as possible to the light without touching. That keeps them nice and stocky. When it's time to plant (after all danger of frost is past), I sink the plant into the soil...

    I get a little wacko about growing/canning tomatoes. I guess I really enjoy the whole process (most of the time) and 'fine tune' my procedure each year. Would I be bogarting your thread if I described my planting procedures?

    I agree, I can ONLY Romas and Hard Rock. I also 'deskin and deseed' them before canning: I boil them for about 45seconds to a minute...plunge into cold water (I float some ice blocks to keep it cold) each tomato, cut out the core from the top...stick your CLEAN finger into the tomato and mush...

    I've got some 'Hard Rock', 'Roma', 'Pink Girl', 'Brandywine', and ONE tiny seedling from an old heirloom German tomato out in the greenhouse right now. Traditionally, they go into the ground on Derby Day...or ~May 10th.
