South Florida is the tomato capital of the east coast for a good reason: we can grow monster vines with monster fruit. Our season begins in the early fall and extends to the early spring. I've been growing tomatoes in my backyard for years now, but a few years ago I decided to try something new: I'm doing it in public. So follow along from seed to harvest and let's grow some 'maters!
Who Am I?
My name is Jon VanZile and this is my tomato blog, where I'll be experimenting with different soils and fertilizers, different plants, and methods to grow the best tomatoes possible in a small, urban backyard.
Oh yeah ... I'm also a professional garden writer. My writing regularly appears in the South Florida Sun-Sentinel, and if you're into houseplants, I run houseplants.about.com. Feel free to write me at jvzile@aol.com. Thanks for dropping by, and if you've got some tricks to share, I'd love to hear from you!
