Burt Tarcher of Great Neck has sent an update from his “Tarcher Victory Garden”:
“These babies were germinated from seeds and are San Marzano tomatoes. And yes I'm very proud! These amazing, meaty tomatoes are wonderful for sauce.” Tarcher gives his plants water, sunlight, organic feedings, coffee grinds and eggs shells. “They are overgrowing their 6-foot bamboo stakes and are still flowering with multiple layers of fruit.” He’s expecting to start harvesting at the end of the month, just in time for the Challenge!
