OK, I have multiple hobbies, little time but want to make use of a 16
x 2 foot full-sun garden spot along the south wall of a garage.
Already bought a few pumpkin and cucumber seeds and want to stuff a
couple tomato plants in the middle. In the past this plot has been
home many zinnias, tall gladiliolas. I regularly put ground up leaves
and an occasional bag of manure on the plot.

Ideas? Tomatoes need to taste good, too! ;-)

Thanks,
Gary

I usually mix in the small cherry tomatoes w/my cucumbers and let them climb
the same trellis... Sweet Millions are good. The kids love to pick them off
the plants for snacks.

My wife and I are also big fans of German Johnson tomatoes... the fruit is
large and tastes great... the only downside is that the plants get 6 to 8
feet tall. You have to stake them pretty well, but that's all they really
need. I fertilize from time to time (when I remember to do it) but that's
all the maintenance they get.
