Mr. Lake's New Orleans Forum

I just had the most delicious tomato I've had in years - picked right outside my door! We planted six plants on Good Friday, and all but one froze. We replanted, but the original one had the first two ripe tomatoes on Saturday, and I just sliced one for lunch. So tasty - and as close to organic as it gets. We used nothing but Miracle Grow for Tomatoes for fertilizer, and we have dusted them only once with Sevin Dust to keep the tomato worms at bay.

We also have one cherry tomato plant and one grape tomato plant, and they have been producing quite a few of those little gems which we've been eating in salads for a few weeks now. We just have a 4 ft x6 ft raised bed that we made a couple of years ago, and Wes and I are so pumped over the deliciousness of this tomato, we are thinking about building another raised bed beside it. We would happily raise a big garden like we used to, but our property now is completely shaded, all but this one little patch.
