Must say, it took the patience of
Job to get registered, here.
Of ~ 50 plants, we have just have three (3) Mountain Magic plant left, but we have

several trays[/img] full of ripe/ripening/greenies in the rotation awaiting the Tender Mercies of La Jefa, my lovely and long suffering wife.
Looking forward to gleaning some growing, cultivar choice tips.

Welcome
@Cornelius_Gotchberg! I'm so sorry that you had so much difficulty getting registered to the forum. Normally it is quite easy so it is my guess that you were trying to register while we were updating the website. I'm glad that you stuck with it and have joined us here. BTW I am just down the road from you.
Be sure to check out the MMMM swap (Mostly Mystery Mater Mailing) which is going on now. It is an amazing event that many of us treasure. In case you have not saved any seed to share, I would be happy to sponsor you.

"Madison, 68 square miles surrounded by reality." Lived there for 3 years, worked there for about 25 years. Been in Sun Prairie since 1963. Only 69 tomato plants this year/ Isn't nice to still be harvesting a week into October?

Welp, you's folks appear right neighborly, and yes, it seems to have been worth the wait.
The farthest right trays (above) are nearly all Red Sausage Hybrid (with a smattering of San Marzanos). Turned out to be a prolific producer despite being nearly completely shaded by an expansively overwhelming (READ: 8 foot/2.44 meter + tall) Supersweet 100 plant.
The former will be a big part of the rotation in 2022, the latter (alas) will not; the last two years it shaded the equivalent of three other plants, and is the reason the San Marzano yield was down.
Looking forward to hanging with you folks!

Yes @Cornelius_Gotchberg, getting ready for spring, lots of plants in pots starting to harden off, potatoes coming up and the first of the garlic starting to bulb nicely. Looking like a good season if it doesn't get to wet here with La Nina cranking up.

We do some
SERIOUS garlic in these here parts, and after the best crop
EVAH, we're gearing up for 2022. Much needed rain (down ~ 11 inches/27.9 cms for the year) and unseasonably warm weather, has loosened up the soil.
Good Luck!
