Aunt Lou's Underground Railroad

Starlight · June 4, 2015

This is my first year growing it. Has anybody else grown it, or growing it now? I was wondering what it was like and if you liked it or not and what it tasted like.

Also I was wondering, are the stems supposed to grow all over the place. I had tried staking it for it to grow up straight , but it likes to zig zag its branches. Wondered if this was normal.

Of all the plants I have this one is constantly covered in them tiny black flea beetles. I don't mean one or two, I mean loads and clusters of them on it. You can hardly tell there was a leaf for all the tiny holes in them. Is it because it is an older heirloom or is there something abotu the plant that attracts them flea beetles to it.

I squished and squished, but for the first time this season I am actually having to spray a tomato plant for them.
