Dave...(doin his annual "Tomatoe Dance" to the gods) Down in Florida.

(Hey...the Rain Dance worked...I'll try anything at this point!

Not sure what it's such a pain for ya. I 'till in composted cow manure
each year and they grow like weeds. I'm on NY state, zone 5b and already
have about 15-20 tomatoes on 6 plants.

What problems are you having?


He's in FL, thats why it is so tough. In florida we have every known
species of bugs and diseases that double up on us every season because
there is no freeze/frost that helps kill off some generations like you
all up north Plus there is alot of sand here, not much good "soil" to
hold the nutrients needed
