This year we grew four different canning tomato varieties - Roma, San Marzano, Jersey Devil & Opalka. We also grew some slicing varieties - big rainbow and boxcar willie. Then there’s the snacking tomatoes - sun gold, geranium kiss, and red pears.

When I took time to reflect on the garden thus far and look back at last year’s notes to compare how things are going I realized that we are so far ahead of where we were last year! Everything is planted except our in-ground bed of corn, squash, and some herb ground cover and our kitchen garden on our deck and patio.
