Description

The listing, Growing Potted Tomatoes has ended.

I have typed up the directions for the way that I grow tomatoes, from scratch to finish. The products that I use on them, the way I water, right down to how much to water them. When the tomatoes start coming in you will be knocking on neighbors doors asking them if they would like some tomatoes, or maybe you have a local Farmers Market where you can take them to sell. I go right out my back door and pick anywhere from 20 - 30, from 40 - 50 tomatoes a day, sometimes I'm picking them in the morning and in the same day that evening. There are some tricks to this, everyone just can't grow tomatoes. The picture of my plants with me in the forground, you can see that my plants are taller than me, and I stand at 5' 10 inches. Those pictures were from this past summer, summer of 2010, and I didn't even have the time to spend with them, like I normally do, my husband fell, (ladder), in July, and during the growing season, he was in the hospital 21 days, and 5 surgeries and I was with him every minute, so I left my tomatoes to a 14 year old neighbors daughter to water them for me. Even she can do it. This past year the best I remember I planted 10 plants, they produced over 500 tomatoes, I will cut back this year, my plants hopefully are going in the dirt today. I will add some pictures showing the first day. It's not to late, in fact this is the right time to plant, but we have to hurry.

Growing Tomatoes in your own space. Learning how to grow tomatoes in pots not the ground, keeping them close to you, being able to nurture them yourself.

I would say the only way to kill them is to not water them. You just do what I say do in the directions, and I think you will have som tomatoes that you will be very proud of. You will be giving them to family and friends. But most of all enjoying some tomatoe sandwiches.

Growing them in potting soil, is a great thing. Some people now grow tomatoes on the back decks, and patios, in bales of hay. I know for a fact that NC's Governor's Mansion tried this a few years ago in Raleigh NC.

You can see from the pictures, that I have plenty of yard, but I choose to grow mine out my back door, so I can mother them I guess. There are very few weeds to pick to, I guess I may pick 1 weed maybe out of 3 of them. So verturally no pulling weeds........No hoeing........,then when they start coming off, eat, give away, can or freeze. My Dad's wife makes her own tomatoe juice.

I have never tried fried green tomatoes, they had them this past Sunday at the K & W in Fayetteville NC. To me that's like eating a yellow Watermellon, instead of a red one. Now I love tomatoes and rice, or tomatoes and macaronni noodles, and my Mom used to fix, what we called Tomatoe Gravey, and you just broke up homemade biscuits in it, now that was some good eating.
