Tomatoes are one of the easiest plants to grow. Even on an apartment patio. You can do it in a Home Depot bucket just punch some holes in the bottom.
Cherry tomatoes especially pay for themselves. I would not recommend heirloom cherry tomatoes, they tend to be smaller. In some cases, hybridization is a good thing.
Recommend Cherokee Purple as your general tomato. The flavor is much better than anything out of a grocery store. Pure tomato. It’s so delicious you can eat it like an apple.
Very forgiving plant for gardening nooba.
Honestly, by fall I’m just chucking the tomatoes straight into the compost because no one wants anymore for free
Canning?
Haven’t had the gear or skills until this year. Definitely gonna give it a shot and see if I die or not from the effort or results.
Ball canning guide. It’s proven itself, for decades. Best to stay away from randos vlogging their opinions. That, and grandma, if she’s done it her whole life. You’re here, so she must’ve done it right.

Thanks! I’ll pick up a copy, both grandmas are passed. Not from food borne illness.
