"I trial varieties looking for big tomatoes that will grow in the hot summer temperatures of Las Vegas, Nv.
I'm a retired Master Gardener, but my tomato trials started before I joined the extension office and continue. This season, 2004, I will be trialing several Chinese varieties that are supposed to be super heat tolerant.
I wrote two books on 'growing tomatoes in terrible dirt and desert heat' and put up a website in October of 2003 to help gardeners with similar growing conditions. I only have a few products on it, but they are the products that work wonderfully for us in out extreme heat. . . And I am not trying to be a source for all varieties. Just products and varieties that work well to grow big tomatoes in our difficult and hot climate." |

"These are the results of my new growing method trials. I tossed out everything I learned from the books and the experts and finally came up with a good method that works in the desert heat. This picture was taken in the summer of 2002." |
