Its called Salt March hay, no seeds, no salt, perfect

Actually if you drive up the North shore of Mass, towards Gloucester, this salt water march hay it grows near the ocean. Federal laws will not let you cut it, so only a few store sell it.No Box store sell it

up here i have KBX, rutgers, cherokee purple, goose creek and brandy boy along with my big beef plant and some cherries. they're all pretty much loaded up with cherokee purple being the exception

down south i'm trialing some salt resistant tomatoes sent to me by a member here. they're all loaded with tomatoes however my heirlooms and large fruited hybrids like big beef have maybe 1 or 2 tomatoes each and tons of blossom drop. i attribute it to the wet salty air as they basically grow along the edge of the beach and constantly get hit with ocean mist.

after tomorrow it looks as if we'll have some perfect weather. i'm actually hoping for some rain tonight

Looks like my plants 2 years ago, a ton of fruit, i have a ton of flowers, wanting for fruits any day now

I'm growing KBX as well and I only have 2 fruit on each plant. This time last year, they were loaded. Also growing Earl's Faux, Terhune, Marianna's Peace, NAR - 1 fruit only for each of these. 2 Red Barn plants bear about 6+ fruit each. Cuostralee - 4 fruit. Eva Purple Ball, normal growing about 20 fruit and Cherries/Salad Size doing fine.
