Mutant Tomatoes




These tomato plants were staked using 3' high metal cages. The cages are no longer visible. The vines are spilling out in every direction and are so loaded down with tomatoes that individual branches are now breaking under the weight. There are literally hundreds of green tomatoes hanging from these 21 plants right now. I honestly don't know what we are going to do once they all start to get ripe at the same time. My cousin has a fruit stand on the highway; maybe she could sell some of them. My brother and I had no idea the plants would do so well. This soil is really good compared to the clay and rocky soil of the larger garden.
