They are. The chickens follow me around when I'm harvesting as they like them too. I generally bite them in half and give a half to each of them.@TooCheep Wow those look neat!
I have heard that they can be tricky to grow. I use a compost wood shaving mix from my duck pens and my entire garden takes off like crazy with it. It has been 90F+ since May and frequently 100F+ here. The shavings act like a mulch which has helped considerably in this heat and the duck compost has more nitrogen than chicken. My San Marzano's have been growing so many tomatoes that I had to install 2x4" grid fencing to hold them up because they were bending all of the stakes and cages.@HollowOfWisps Those tomatoes look amazing! I tried San Marzano this year, but so far not much luck. Looks like it's worth giving another shot next year though! And those Indigo Rose tomatoes are beautiful!
Thanks for sharing!
