America's Dairyland is well represented, here, there's at least eight (8) I can think of; @DriftlessRoots is the next nearest in Middleton.

Here is one ex, I used to be Wisconsinite for almost 15 years.
I miss my garden in Waukesha County and of course I miss all the nice Wisconsinites. It is great state to grow tomatoes and raise a family.

I like it here also just a wee bit further north! But not near the Yoopers! That’s too much winter!

You's want NORTH? We spend a LOT of time in Iron County (~12m/19.3kms south of Gitche Gumee) across Weber Lake from Whitecap Mountain; heading back up on Wednesday https://www.google.com/maps/dir/Green+B ... ?entry=ttu

Hurley's adjacent to the Ironwood, MI and the U.P....but we won't go up before the middle of June nor after mid-September.

Nope, that's too close to the Yoopers! Visiting during the summer is fine. Living there, no thank you! Yoopers are a fine, hardy folk and they can deal with 12' of snow, thanks!

12'/3.7m? Heck...that's just a dusting, Gile, WI (10m/1.62kms from us https://www.google.com/maps/dir/Gile,+M ... ?entry=ttu) got over a third of that in a mere four (4) days.https://weather.com/storms/winter/news/ ... n-20141114

Glass half full?

Snow's just 'bout the last thing I'm thinking about, right now!

Mercifully, The Gotch isn't this slow on the uptake...always. I originally thought you's were referring to the numbers of Monster Tomatoes yer surreptitiously nursing to behemoth gigantesqueness (sic); it's now...um...clear yer referring to yer WESconsin domicile.

Not a good picture, but the 1st sliced Lemon Boy Plus F1; juicy and sweet, it formed part of the lovely and long-suffering Mrs. Gotch's breakfast: Late started Sweet Success Cuke vines beginning their ascent; Lacinato and Prizm Kale photobombing: Pink Gift rounding into shape: Virginia Sweet nearing it's Pull Date: The Gotch

Tomato Season commences. Four on left Virginia Sweets, upper right Zapotec Oaxacan, and Boxcar Willie below Lets try Quickling: Two (2) Wautoma Heirloom, an SMR 58, and accoutrements: Sliced: And jarred-n-fermenting: The Gotch

Way to go !! I’ll finally be able to show off cucumbers soon

Behind last year, but things are ripening; Sheboygan Heirloom: Zapotec Oaxacan: Big Lou: Iron County Care Package for my Up Dere pals; Gold Rush Zukes, Wautoma, & Delistar/Diva Cukes, Gypsy Hybrid Peppers, and Garlic: The Gotch

I'm harvesting cukes from the food pantry garden now. Pretty decent sized, all things considered! I'll have to take some pictures next time.

Return from eight (8) days in the North Woods, and the Zukes have, as the lovely and long suffering Mrs. Gotch laments, HAVE HONKED The Gotch

Say a bit about the Zapotec Oaxacan. You know, taste, production, etc.

Nothing like coming home to a good harvest! I'm sure you'll think of something productive to do with all of those huge zucchinis LOL.

2nd season, got it free from delectationoftomatoes in 2023, and was impressed enough to make our "Hard To Crack" permanent rotation.

~90 DTM, RL, above average production with a mild, balanced, "tomatoey" (per the lovely and long suffering Mrs. Gotch) taste.

Outstanding firmness; small seed cavities with minimal jelly and "sogginess" make it ideal for cold samitches.

Then there's that intoxicating shape, not unlike its doppelgänger, and another Jardín del Gotch fave, the Inzhir Rozovyi.
