The first thing I planted once the garden was ready was the tomatoes. This year I purchased a few more plants than last year. This year I got 8 tomato plants, all indeterminate. However one tomato plant had two plants in the pot, so I actually ended up with 9! Which is perfect because I made 3 rows of 3 tomato plants. I got 2 Husky Red Cherry Tomato plants. I had this variety last year but only one plant and it did amazing, producing tomatoes into October! I also got a third cherry tomato plant called 'Super Sweet 100' Hybrid Cherry Tomato. The most interesting tomato plant I got was the 'Yellow Pear' tomato, I can't wait to see and taste those! Then I got a Big Beef Hybrid Tomato plant, a 'Red Beefsteak' Tomato plant. Another interesting tomato plant I got was one called 'Mr Stripey', an heirloom tomato which has yellow and red stripes and supposedly produces tomatoes up to 1 pound each!! The last tomato variety escapes me right now but it is also the one that came with an extra tomato plant making my grand total of 9 plants! I will be swimming in tomatoes this year! Hopefully I will be able to crush and freeze some tomatoes to make chili in the fall and winter!
