It's tomato season here in New England and there is nothing like a fresh picked tomato for lunch or dinner. Our plants have grown to about 8 feet and it is all about soil quality. We tested our soil in early spring and added organic calcium, fertilizer, and nitrogen/manure to our compost from our compost pile. The soil testing made all the difference this year as well as a generous amount of rain. I still watered nearly daily from our rain barrels.
