Growing the eternal tomato by Leonard Trebor Issue #57. It's an old story to longtime gardeners (and a new story to novices): each spring you buy some superb tomato plants, set them out on May 1 (or thereabouts), then you mulch, water, and spray until about July 4 (depending upon the part of the country in which you live) when you pick your first real beauties of the season.

The event is always marked with a tinge of nostalgia as you wonder if you will ever see such wonderful tomatoes again.

The new strains may not be to your liking, or there may be a problem with the plant's ability to resist wilt or cold weather. A pest free garden the organic way.
