Hey Guys,

I’m Zach, I’m a 25 year old grower out of columbia SC. I’ve been growing and selling heirloom tomatoes for about 6 years now. This year I plan to plant out 240 plants, all Heirloom and dwarf varieties!

Welcome from America's Dairyland!

But a word to the wise: Expect that 240 plants number to...um...evolve (as in Upward!) once the TJ Enablers get around to suggesting any number of varieties you's just can't live without...

On that subject; you's ever try Pink Magic or Pink Gift from Bulgaria...?

Welcome Zack.

At 25 years old, you have the youth and positive energy to grow 240 plants. As a word of caution, growing 240 plants may not be 2X the effort of growing 120.

At some point, the numbers can take their toll on the mind and body.

On a side note, today I will be updating the Dwarf category on the MMMM master list of tomatoes. ;)

Welcome. Just spent a little time in Columbia on New Years Eve. Kicked around the lovely gardens at the Hampton Preston House. Great place to garden
