Is it too late to grow tomatos?

kitch · 06-24-2009, 12:19 PM

get the prestarted plants and you should be ok. It's pretty late to be starting from seed right now, as even up here in the frigid northeast most of the plants are at least flowering if not fruiting. If you really have to go from seed get Early Girls, which if planted now should be ready by late August or so. You can buy plants about a foot or so tall that are already flowering. Lemme know how it goes. Some day I'll get around to taking pictures at the farm, we have about 80 tomato plants of 8 different types going right now, they're all between 2 and 3 feet tall.

you need a really big area to grow corn, half an acre minimum.

**SageTree** · 06-24-2009, 04:04 PM

I used to keep 4 -25ft rows of corn in my family garden growing up, I alway has good luck with it.

kitch · 06-24-2009, 04:06 PM

are there other corn farms around you? I know we can never get a whole lot of corn off of em when we try. They need to be near a lot of other corn plants I think.

**SageTree** · 06-24-2009, 04:15 PM

Yea, true it was an old alfalpha field and behind that there was acres and acres of corn, so you are correct. I was just 8-9....I didn't know such laws existed

kitch · 06-24-2009, 04:18 PM

I don't think it's a law, I think it's just in the grassy nature of the corn to live in big cities.

**SageTree** · 06-24-2009, 04:28 PM

Yea man, corns are weeds fo sho, vacant lots all around full of corn.

I was just playing with the word law there friend

growing up a lot of my parents friends private gardens had corn, although it wasnt just a few plants, and only in the larger gardens, but nowhere close to that size! although corn farms were all over the place where i grew up in ohio
