RE: August in a Big House with a Tiny Garden in Upstate New York State, USA

Exactly! Chaos that makes me very happy as well as fed.

I've always wanted to try that variety, but the description says the plants are "massive!" That won't work here. I found blight out there yesterday. I think I will buy a lot of tomatoes to can this year, and not even plant tomatoes next year, except for one plant (brandywine) in a bag up on the asphalt where scourges don't seem to take hold.

Do you pinch out the shoots as they grow? I always try to but next minute I have a jungle!

Yeah sometimes it seems better to buy a few boxes cheap from the market rather than go to the effort! But homegrown fresh tomatoes on sourdough with some basil and balsamic glaze - oooh mama!

I do nothing!!! I still manage to have too many tomatoes. I can and dehydrate and eat and cook with tomatoes as long as I can. That season is over too soon for my taste, considering I cannot stomach tomatoes from supermarkets, so I only eat them a couple of months out of the year.
