[glenn57]

the tomatoes i've bought came from becks on hwy 10 north of elk river and bob and judy's just out of monticello, they grow there own...along with a whole lot of other garden stuff for sale. they get shipped from there field up to there store front!!

that bob and judy's went out of business. i heard the guy passed away. i really liked that place!!!!!!!!!

I've bought 'mater's from the "farm trucks" and one orchard veggie place. None were that great, IMO. Asked every one of 'em "what variety tomatoes are these?" All answered "I'm not sure"...

Just told the wife and Early Girls it is if we can find them.  We only plant 6 plants. Want to make your pickled green ones too Glenn.

[Rebel SS]

Glenn turns kinda greenish when he gets pickled, too. 

Wally world sells the Bonnie Early girls, Barry. That's where I always got mine.

We have a nice greenhouse in Williams that we go to.  BUT if you are too late you don't have as much of choice of course.  We will get on it earlier this year.

I planted a variety (by mistake) this year, these are ripe when they turn orange. They are tasty, and kinda midrange.... not to meaty, great BLT 🍅

With my smaller garden the small Roma plants work great. Last year I had an early girl with the roma's and it grew enormous, 
smothered several other plants. I should have pinched it off like Ken mentioned earlier in the year. Having a different variety is a good option.

Why? The 32 plants plus 24' of trellis is plenty for us.

[glenn57]

[Gunner55]

[Gunner55]

We have 5 or 6 up here most years. Not sure if the BER had anything to do with it but we're still getting tomatoes too. Just picked 5, they're all smaller now & are taking longer to ripen but with this nice weather who knows how much  longer they'll go.
