Tomatoes

Mostly planted center left this year.
The plum style tomatoes have the same problem as last year - the early tomatoes suffer from bottom rot even after extra feeding.  Later though, the plum tomatoes give a lot of tomatoes.
DO NOT PLANT Brandywines NEXT YEAR- plant some extra Sicilians and Cherokees, and maybe an early yielding variety (just a few plants).

Start plants earlier - some 6 weeks before the 24th, some 4 weeks before.  Some of the plants were too small when they went in the ground.

Including house, I have about 38 tomato plants this year.
