Oh man, let me know when you put the bacon on and get the tomato sliced. I’ll grab a quick flight down and join you. The BLT is my all time favorite sandwich. Lightly toasted.
Oh, and I like your pic, too. 😄

don't know if it's available in your area, but there is an organic fertilizer called Milorganite, not sure of the spelling, that works wonders with vegetable plants... in our area Home Depot and Lowe's carries it...just throw it around the plants and forget it, no watering in necessary

Nothing better than fresh off the vine home grown tomatoes and BLT's.
Nice looking tomato plant Dean. Do you grow "Heirloom" tomato's or the the regular hybrid type? I did not have a garden this past year, but for the last 7 or 8 years, I have gotten the heirloom plants at a long time local nursery a few miles from me. I have had better luck with the heirloom plants, and found varieties that we liked and thought tasted much better than the regular tomato plants.
Kinda like photography I guess right... to each his own.

BLT. Best sandwich ever. Eat one for me.
Better still is a BLTA, bacon, lettuce, tomato and avocado. Farmer Boys makes them. Except I tell them to leave out the L. Don't like lettuce on sandwiches, too slippery.

Have tried damn nearly everything available, and have not had much success with any of them. Will keep at it, however.

No avocado for this BLT lover.

Great picture. Tomato are not usually so difficult. you might check the ph of the soil and make sure to feed them accordingly. In this cold weather, make sure that the soil is not dry when it is so cold and give them a nice drink prior to the extreme cold so that they do not freeze. My garden in inside on my window sill and I move the plants away from the window at night. Good luck and happy gardening. These tomatoes look good.

Tks Sam, tried all the nutritional angles, not much success. I now bring this plant inside at night and return it to outside sunlight during the day.
Plan to harvest today and dine on BLT tonight!

Hope you have some success with the late bloomer. My late Father-in-Law used to put Epsom salts on the ground around the tomato plants and he always had a bumper crop of delicious tomatoes.
