We were making tomato juice and experimented both ways...cooking down and straining the seeds out which resulted in a fabulous juice.... and then blending them all up which resulted in a bitter taste. I believe it was from the seeds....anyone one else come across this problem?

My boys, 11, help me to dig planting holes, water plants and clean the garden. It's such a good idea to let them plant something themselves. Please, tell us how Jaedon'sunflowers are growing!

They sound like they are huge! I don't know exactly how much water they would need. I always just did it by "feel". I never follow recipes, either. I'm sure that's not very helpful. :) I would keep doing what you've been doing since it's working just fine and then keep upping the water as it heats up more. They need lots of water and deeply. When I would deep water mine every 2-3 days it would still be a little wet from the prior watering. I never did let them completely dry out between waterings. I don't know if that was helpful, but it is fun for me to hear about all of the heirlooms you're growing. I'd love it if you would keep us all posted! Staci Ted,

I hope your grandkids have fun in "their" garden. It is always so exciting to see that first seedling pop it's head up. I miss my tomato jungle, too! I think the "jungle" is the way to go here in the desert. Keep us all posted on your garden bounty. Staci Janice,

The jungle is a good idea. I have 7 different varieties here in Scottsdale. Black Krim, Yellow Pear, Pink Caspian, Stupice, Mortgage Lifter, Giant Belgium, German Johnson. They are all doing pretty well. I have started harvesting only the Stupice. There has been heavy fruit set on most of them with tomatoes ranging in the 1/2 to 3/4 pound range per tomato! I water daily now that it is gettng hot. 2 GPH drip emmiters for 30 minutes, so each one gets approximately 1 gallon of water. They seem to be doing OK, however, the watering deeply infrequently may work. I'm nervous to try it though with so much fruit ready to ripen. What do you think? Thanks for the posts.
