These are some pictures of our tomato plants. The beds are new and nothing has ever been planted in them. They are healthy and as usual for around these parts, slow to set and form fruit.
Shortly after this picture was taken I was savagely mauled and licked.
Has anybody here ever heard of grafted tomatoes? They are new in Colorado this year. Growers are grafting heirloom plants to "wild" tomato root stock early in the growing process. They are supposed to provide disease resistance and give high production with heirloom flavor. The go for about $10-$15 for a one gallon plant. The trick to planting them is to NOT bury the plant below the graft so as not to encourage the wrong part of the plant to produce roots.
Hoodat, we hope you are doing well. Good to see you back!
