Let's see those '11 gardens!

Svillekid, those rutgers are great tomatoes. I grew one 2 years ago and had so many tomatoes I could not give them all away.

If any of you guys are in the north east when do you plan on planting your gardens? I sell veggie and herb plants up here and it has been a terrible year due to weather so far. My sales are down about 55% off of last years sales so far so I would like to know what the die hard gardeners are planing on doing this year. Looks like this weekend is going to be nice so maybe we will have some people getting their hands dirty in the next few days.

Oh yeah, if any of you gardeners are in New Jersey it would be in your best interest to send me a pm

Wow, sorry to hear that!

I've gotten 2 gallon jugs slap full of green beans in the last four days and got more to come. We have had great weather, just no rain. I have a sprinkler, soaker system on a timer thats been keeping the plants alive. We had about a 1/2" of rain yesturday; thats been it for a month+.
Ya'll get cold weather issues, we got heat issues in the south... looks like we should meet in the middle to grow.

Ever find out what they were? I hate to be a bother about it, but that's an amazing yield and I would like to replicate it if I could.
