I'll trade you my postage stamp plot for your huge plot, do we have a deal? Seriously, everything looks really nice. I hope you have some help on hand with a harvest and a plot like that!

Thanks everyone.My mother and i have been gardening as a team all my life.I am 6'2 230 and she is 4'11 110 LOL-I think that shows the labor breakdown.Everything we grow is started from seed in my growroom-allows us to find varities that hold up to all the extremes.

All the tomatoes were Burpee this year.I know no heirlooms, but work took me out of country and mom went with what is reliable...

30 little mama canning tomato- massive production last 4 years

15 Big mama-mom likes size.Less productive and have genetic leaf curl(ugly)but mom loves- grown10 years

10 big boy-gotta keep the BLT folks happy

Tangerine mama-tasty,pretty

Golden mama-Pictured earlier- tasty

Sweet baby girl- big and juicy cherry

Black pearl cherry- Mom my veto these next year

I would like to grow some yellow cherries next year.

Will keep pics updated now that i figured it out.

You are hard working to get that size garden in and keep it tidy. Not to mention all the canning you'll be doing. But what a great thing. I'd love to have that kind of space!

I'm sure if you get the time next year, you'll be inspired to put in some OP varieties? Half the fun IMO.

**Picking up jaw**

*glacing to my 4x8 'mater patch*

*eyeing wasted space housing derilict boat*

*reaching for phone to have said boat hauled off, to make room for more tomato plants!*

I wish my mom lived closer so we could can together like that. Sounds like work...but fun work!
