Growing Tomatoes

Next year will be better

10 years ago

This year turned out to be a poor year for tomatoes. I suspect that it was because the garden in the house I moved into a few years ago has some shade. Have cut down a number of 'trash trees' that had been growing on the fence line and the garden area looks a lot brighter.
I just got the 'Totally Tomatoes' catalog yesterday in the mail, it is a comfort to look through it because the Houston area is having a bit of a cold spell.

I believe that's the gardeners Mantra.
"It's going to be better next year"
I think gardeners are eternal optimists.
