My tomatoes continue to be a complete train wreck now year four. I'm on the verge of throwing in the towel, and considering growing just things that have have some success including peppers, eggplants, and onions. Bah.

Yes, one crown does indeed make it a "novelty" as opposed to making it dinner.

Wow... four years?!? I would be crying. That's my main garden crop. One year of off-growing and I was more than despondent. That's truly weird... you should be able to grow tomatoes in your climate. Do they just not grow? Get wilt? Don't set on fruit?

I just put in Rainbow Chard, a ton of leaf lettuce, a couple kinds of fall squash, and pumpkins. Most of it will be to feed the chickens because chickens need a balanced veggies diet to make them happy cluckers.

It would make a very very long post to describe the issues.

I wish a tomato whisperer would show up one season and check over everything and say, "there's yer problem, here's how you fix it".

Netflix or Amazon, you listening?! We need a vege garden whisperer show, start with me.
