Happy Labor Day and a Tomato to Share

I have a tomato to share. My favorite tomato to grow in southern California is the beefsteak tomato.

Happy Labor Day! Are you having a BBQ today? We are grilling some steaks tonight. A special treat. Speaking of steaks check out this beefsteak tomato. I bought a six pack of these this year and wow what great tomatoes they have given me. Look at the size of this one. I did give them some doses of my compost tea and mulched lots of compost in the planting hole. I tried a new way of planting tomatoes too I will share for next spring's plantings. I wanted to test it. I did get nice healthy plants. Have a wonderful day!!
