Tomatoes!

At the Epworth Veggie Garden, we have lots of tomato plants. Every year we take a look at the plants we have and they seem so small at the beginning of the year. It never fails that we continue to plant more and more tomato plants, folks donate tomato plants and then we have lots of volunteer tomato plants that we feel the need to save and transplant somewhere else. Then come August and we have lots of tomatoes to pick. Most of the volunteer tomato plants are cherry tomatoes and they produce hundreds of tomatoes per plant.





For example, this year we have already harvested over 1400 cherry tomatoes. I went back and tried to count the number of tomato plants we have growing and I'm fairly sure we have over 40 plants. We have tomatoes planted directly in the ground (2 rows), in hanging 5 gallon buckets, in wading pools and in the cement block gardens.
