I love garden fresh tomatoes! We have not had much luck with growing them; one year we even tried some pots up on the roof. Though we have a large backyard, we have a serious allelopathy problem: black walnut trees produce juglone which is poison to tomatoes and many other plants. Last summer, Mr. Tess built a raised garden bed from some discarded utility poles. This is the first year I have hope of great tomatoes.
