Hello from SW Oklahoma

pingman39 · May 6, 2016

I am brand new to this site. I have been growing tomatoes for over 20 years but am by no means an expert. I buy my tomatoes as plants and set them out in the garden with potatoes, cucumbers, squash, onions, okra, and jalapeno peppers. I started out with about 5 or 6 plants and discovered that I like growing tomatoes more than the rest of the veggies, so now I am up to 30 plants (if the moles/gophers don't get em). I've been snooping around this website for over a week and have figured out I have a lot to learn. I look forward to being on this site and maybe I will be able to help someone out someday.

Welcome! The obsession always starts out small. By next season you'll be looking to till up more yard!

Welcome !
With 20 years of experience it is very likely that you already know about growing tomatoes. But then learning process is a never ending one.

Thanks for the welcome. I lost one plant yesterday. Gopher or mole pulled it down into the ground. This goes with the 8 or so onion plants he's gotten.
