Market Farming

Courtney,
Can't speak for anywhere except SW Michigan, but almost everyone of our farmer's market customers who grow their own tomatoes are complaining about both quality and quantity. At least here, I think it's probably mostly weather related. Sorry that you're having problems.

I am curious where you get seed from...especially the Julia Child...do you mind sharing good sources? I'd appreciate it.

Well, I think it is disease too...but the bummer of it all is...I do mulch with hay around the plants and they are planted in black plastic mulch.  But the plants that are next the Principe...are fine???????  I just think it is the plant.  Not sure if i will try them again next year or not. 

On a good note...I did win the best tasting tomato contest at market last weekend with my Julia Child Tomato!  It is awesome and I highly recommend growing it next year.  Nice big pink tomato with excellent flavor!  The seeds were very pricey at $4.50 for 15 seeds.  But well worth it now!
