Dotson's Garden 2019

Spartanburg123 · May 9, 2019

I got the seedlings out this weekend, I'm growing 18 different varieties: Early Girl, Dr. Wyche's Yellow, Pink Brandywine, Black Brandywine, Aker's WV, Big Czech (WV heirloom), Cosmic Eclipse, Black Beauty, Not Purple Strawberry, Zena's Gift, Terhune (AKMark 5.42), Costuluto Genovese, Dan's Monster Biscuit (mystery from biscuitridge), Big Zac, Dotson's Lebanese Heart, Girl Girl's Weird Thing, Rebel Yell, and Stick. I'm a bit later than last year, but hoping for a reasonably dry Spring and Summer!

I planted two zene's gifts lastseason and had several HUGE tomatoes in less than 60 days. Good taste as well. I have 2 again this season

I am really looking forward to growing this one out! Early and large! I also love the fluted shoulders on the tomato, and the overall "tall" shape. I especially respect Karen's journey in getting this tomato documented and available to folks to grow out.

You seem to have hostas in the upper picture?
One of the few perennials I recognize.. (my Mom loves them..)

I do! We have these same hostas showing up every spring for 15 years! They are so beautiful, and don't interfere with anything. Love them!

Garden update 5-31-19. Things moving along very well with no insects in sight. We are moving from 95 degree heat back down to the mid 80's so hopefully pollination will be more favorable.
