[QUOTE="jltrent, post: 1845500, member: 21075"] I canned over 150 quarts of green beans last year and for perfect tomatoes at $10-12 a box I can't justify growing many tomatoes. I have started them by seed (still have a lot of the heirloom large tomato seed) have 90 cows with plenty of cow patties and it still is not worth my time. It doesn't hurt that I live close to Granger County TN where they have over 40 acres of tomato in hot houses about year around. Late in the year when they have an overrun, I have bought them as cheap as $6 a big box. At $30 for 5 big boxes by the time I spray for blight, deal with the weather, physically pick and carry out I will stick to maybe 10 plants. The same with broccoli as every year they start out nice and then a short dry spell and it stunts the heads. You can buy it at Walmart for less than I have in it. I have used Cow poop which chicken poop is better and if you get it too rich you will have big green vines with very little fruit. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.ritterfarms.com/graingercountytomato.html[/URL] Here is some of the tomatoes I bought for real cheap late last fall. [img]https://i.imgur.com/vPSEDG4.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
