I wish I could grow tomatoes in my yard... Lord! Have I tried. Just will not grow. The soil is almost solid clay.

I might try growing them in a hanging basket on the shady side of the fence (so the sun hits the tops but not the roots).

You may try growing tomatos and other veggies and herbs in a raised bed. Get some chemical-free wood and build your bed one to 3 feet above the ground...filled it with luxurious amended soil, with the proper PH for the tomatos, and plant! It's also easier more...

Great idea...

I also have a ground hog problem in my yard (they have taken up residence under my cement porch) which adds another element. This is the first year and I tried everything to keep them out before they had babies. I think I may end up getting more...

We've got major weeds in our yard, plus we're in a desert, so that's why we're "container" gardening. Hence the whiskey barrel with the Miracle-Gro potting soil.

You can also draoe the plants with light breathable fabric so diffuse the sunlight on them more...

wow....my tomatoes dont have that many tomatoes yet..nor are any close to getting ripe!. got any good tips on helping tomato plants grow more tomates?

Well, basically, we just stacked the deck in our favor as much as we could. We bought the plants as baby plants, and the cherry tomato already started fruiting before we could transfer it to the whiskey barrel!

We use Miracle-Gro potting soil, some more...

Growing your own tomatoes is cool but they take some watering though. I guess some kind of irrigation system would be cool.

No kiddin' swipe. Especially here in Phx, AZ. Right now I just have the one planter and it gets a lot of hosing, but yeah, a watering system on some kind of timer would be ideal.

At Granny's we'd slice up the big ones and eat 'em with stewed tators, white corn, guloush, fried chicken and pole beans. yum

I'm SO there. We can chow down AND chat about great animation!

Catchy tune lol. I grow my own tomatoes as well during the summer months here in the UK, as our weather is not always great. Also grow a lot of fruit as well, apples, pears, strawberrys, black currents, and gooseberries. You cant beat home grown.

First time I heard that song was at a John Denver concert. He just picked his guitar and sang it. the audience applauded loudly. Then John Denver admitted, "I didn't write that song." Then he followed it up with " I was GONNA!"
