I'm sure they're all round though. <br /><br />I've only tasted supermarket/store-bought tomatoes, and have never known what type of tomatoes they're called. :( You were right, the sold ones were always so round-ish. Nothing like the ones in your photos at all.miSz tUnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17319301506134240690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2838004838772936244.post-50430100941335009862009-09-06T10:22:03.580-05:002009-09-06T10:22:03.580-05:00Tomatoes look great!

Every time I go home, we usually go to Mall of America once, but it only lasts about an hour and I want to leave! IKEA across the street, another matter, I can spend a weekend there, lol!Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06916896512933101955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2838004838772936244.post-85264687892371247452009-09-05T13:22:54.685-05:002009-09-05T13:22:54.685-05:00Hi Liz!

I'm clueless!Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09941280453570504094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2838004838772936244.post-8359322844420023442009-09-05T13:22:01.969-05:002009-09-05T13:22:01.969-05:00Hey Rick -- thanks for the compliments. Your toma...Hey Rick -- thanks for the compliments. Your tomatoes look pretty darn great too. I would be very happy to swap, or just send you some seeds. I've been seed saving for several years and have more than I need.<br /><br />We were actually toying with the idea of calling you up and going down to see you, but with two bridal showers for my sister and other family things we had no time. But we will make it someday!<br /><br />Hazwani -- Hello! The Taliana tomatoes are not typical tomatoes. The ones found at the grocery store are all red and perfect round. Sometimes you can find Roma tomatoes too. But that is it. Do you get anything different out there?<br /><br />We actually do very little to prevent pests. We have woven wire fencing all around the garden for deer and bunnies and coons. We also use Bt spray (starting this year) on rutabagas and brussels sprouts. Oh, and we also practice crop rotation, so far as we can in our relative small garden.<br /><br />Thanks! I'm pleased as well. This has been a good gardening year overall.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09941280453570504094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2838004838772936244.post-40093454780299566872009-09-05T12:13:46.104-05:002009-09-05T12:13:46.104-05:00Beautiful harvest!

Because they all look so lovely!miSz tUnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17319301506134240690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2838004838772936244.post-81614452418061796512009-09-05T01:38:27.228-05:002009-09-05T01:38:27.228-05:00Good looking toms Jo.

Also since you guys wee so close you should have some down and dug up some wild raspberry canes.Frustrated Farmer Rickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08367331507586316368noreply@blogger.com
