Welcome to our 2017 diary. With family needs and limited time, we have decided to make our garden efforts into growing a giant tomato instead of pumpkin this year. As you can see, we have been blessed to be off to a good start this year. Myself, Joshua, and Andrew are growing them. We have some good strategies on how to grow a 5 plus lber and give Chris and Kevin a run for their money. Our target, grow a state record, a tall order for tomato rookies. lol Well, our line up includes, a 5.11 Dunn, a 6.88 maccoy, 5.30 maccoy, a 8.41 maccoy, and 3 4.57 maccoys. 7 plants in all will be kept inside until march 1st or so and then transplanted to patch when weather is frost free. We have never tried to really grow a big tomato in it's proper timing in our growing area or grow this amount of them so should be fun! Early spring will give us our best chance before it gets too hot. We got almost 100 percent germination this year, got some good starting mix and put pots onto a heating mat and seeds came up in 4 to 5 days.
