Title: Anns garden
Post by: annsgarden on February 26, 2012, 09:11:25 AM

I'm a clutz in the garden, but enjoy seeing things grow.  I started a backyard garden last year but had trouble with it during the summer.  Tomatoes are so hard to grow, but I love the smell of a tomato plant, not the fruit but the vine itself.  Lettuce seems easy to grow and is so enjoyable to pluck and eat!

Welcome to the community Ann!  I agree there is nothing better than the smell of a tomato plant.  haha

I have tons of trouble with tomato plants also. I can get them huge, but they always succumb to some sort of disease...

Ann - What kind of fertilizer are you using on your tomatoes?  And are the leaves cupped, curled, or deformed?
