Last year, I had the biggest, baddest, tomato plants in the neighborhood. They totally took over the bed, uprooted their cages and killed a patch of grass adjacent to the bed. They were some awesome tomato plants. I credit Enright Gardens, the best flower and vegetable nursery around. They were my husband's neighbors when he was a kid.
(Sadly, this shameless plug will go to waste. No one in Kansas reads my blog.)
This year, we are a whole month late getting the tomatoes in the ground. Unlike last year, I have given the plants wide birth. Three tomato plants share their bed with just my husband's small, lone strawberry plant. Because I was late in planting them, I picked varieties that take less time to mature. I have an Early Girl, an Early Goliath, and a Grape Tomato plant. I usually always plant Roma tomatoes, but decided to go with the other plants because the Roma plants were not nearly as big as they were last year. I'm excited to try the new varieties. Besides having a shorter maturity time, these Early varieties are already over a foot tall and have fruit on them.
