Nope, just South Jersey sandy soil, compost, a good fence and lots of attention. No synthetic fertilizers.coalkirk wrote:Damn! Are you in the shadow of a nuke plant? Those 'mators are HUGE.
I love my 2 dogs, but they know not to go withing 2 ft of the fence.

I'm across the river from the self proclaimed tomato capital of the world.

Yup, I used to live in Pennsauken and the tomatoes I grew there were the best ever! One year I planted as early as mid-April and was still taking them in into October.NJTomatoguy wrote:Nope, just South Jersey sandy soil, compost, a good fence and lots of attention.

Saw a lot of those last time I was in Paris back in 2002. They were very popular there due to the lack of parking space. My wife had me stand in front of one for a picture because she didn't think anyone back home would believe how small they were.

Nice tomatos, I usually enter in vegetable categories including tomatos at the Bloomsburg fair. One year I entered largest vegetable categorie witch is 3 of your largest vegetables of any type. That year I entered tomatos in that categorie and had a total weight of 7.2 lbs. I won a blue, but iv'e not come close to that weight in a long time. Won a few ribbons this year for beans and peppers, but blight wiped out all my tomatos this year. I usually plant heirloom varities and several others.NJTomatoguy wrote:
