A tiny 6 in.tomato plant grew into a 9 ft. Jack-in-the-Beanstock! No tomatoes yet but blossoms :banana: <img src="http://i86.photob...;0" alt="Photobucket">

My favorite sandwich too. And, they're only good with homegrown tomatoes. Suzie, if you're tomatoes are as prolific as their vine, you'll be eating tomato sandwiches for every meal!

I've heard about this, and call it her tomato "tree"! Big challenge. Does one tomato plant have a certain "output" capacity? Can you make 5 huge tomatoes, or 25 smaller ones from a bigger plant? I am not a tomato farmer, but will be interesting to see this adventure unfold with the Suzie Tomato Tree!

I'm going to have a tomato plant in a flower bed, somewhere, next year! I swear I am! I keep walking around all the lot, eyeballing the sun and trying to place my tomato plant.
Suzie, keep us posted!

A friend of mine in Colorado Springs decided to build a couple of hot houses on his deck so he could start growing tomatoes early.
Built them, put heat tape in them. Bought top soil, peat moss, and steer manure. Planted them
covered with plastic tent.
OH MY! He had 12 foot plants and NO tomatoes!! :ohmy: :ohmy:

Jim, the mutant is sill growing :ohmy: This one was in a pkg. of 4, all normal size and bearing fruit. If it produces anything eatable I'll have to climb a ladder to pick!
