Direct sown seeds in raised bed

Old School · August 31, 2019

Wanted to do an update in case anyone was interested. I direct sowed Sungold, Mortgage Lifters, and Cherokee Purple on 5-11-19 in my 4'X8' raised bed. Mortgage Lifters failed to grow

Sungold's have been producing a large handful of cherry tomatoes about daily for several weeks (5 plants). Picked my first two ripe Cherokee Purple tomatoes today. I wanted to test this out in my area to see results. I didn't get any beefsteak tomatoes until around 8-7-19 last year from grafted plants, including Cherokee Purple. Kind of happy with the results overall
