Tumbledown Farm .9 Acres (give or take an acre or two)

Excerpt: TOMATOES grown in the open may be made a very satisfactory and profitable 'crop if properly handled. The principal objections to this crop as usually grown are: The fruit is of a bad shape; it ripens late; has a short season; brings low prices; and the plants, especially in a damp autumn, are very subject to fungoid diseases, so that sometimes the bulk of the crop is lost. All these difficulties may be readily overcome.

[Editor's Note: See our Tumbledown Farm Tomato page for additional notes on growing tomatoes in a suburban landscape.]
