I grew the Beefsteaks in NH and they were to die for, but I have not found a good Beefsteak here, they have that awful white thick core, must be the soil.
On the other hand it does not snow here, so snow versus tomato - um ................ no brainer  .
But, we do miss a good Philly Steak ........... yes, we called them Philly Steaks in NH! I make my own here, Publix will thin slice the steak for you. Pretty good, but not the same as one made at the sandwich shop in Tamworth, NH. |
Thanks for the suggestion. I'll give them a try.
I grew tomatoes in Massachusetts and they were awesome. I, too, figured that here it must be the soil. So on my first attempt, I sliced open ten of the 40 (?) pound bags of Miracle Gro Moisture Control potting soil. I planted ten plants seven varieties in the bags, puncturing the bottom for drrainage. They grew like crazy to five or six feet tall. And yielded a grand total of three tomatoes. Maybe insufficient pollination. And the three weren't that great. Go figure...
