I've only had them canned. I last tried growing tomatoes, including
Romas, potted, two years ago. Between the bugs, my dog and other
critters, I ended up with almost nothing.


Youe dogs eat tomatoes? I guess I am lucky that my cat doesn't like
those. She does love onions, and yes, I know they are bad for cats. Also
likes wax beans and peas with the pods.


My dog will eat almost anything. She eats spicy Thai food, but not the raw
chiles!

I am hoping I will have a better year for tomatoes this year. The last
two years there was too much rain after they started producing and
everything rotted.


I just ordered some San Marzano Roma tomato seed frm Johnny's. Jun has a
big garden plot at the Sri Lankan Buddhist Temple a couple of blocks from
us. I hope we both have better luck this year, and I don't just mean
tomatoes!

Take care.
