Its kinda funny....but the 1st year I started a new garden (2007?) area it was like a Jungle
Tomatoes grew 8' tall, I had 10' PVC pipe trying to hold them up
Never pruned anything, I had to crawl thru on hands & knees to harvest tomatoes
I had more tomatoes that year & less plants
I've yet to equal that 1st year harvest..now that I pay attention & spread the plants out more
They were crammed into a 8x8' area.....now in maybe a 15x30' area
And of course I don't have any pics from that year

Anyone else on the East coast have a bumper crop in 2007 ?
