How did your garden grow during the summer of 2019?

It’s report card time: Tell us about your tomatoes!

What variety grew best in your garden? Which one was a total flop?

We’re compiling a season-end summary of the crop of 2019. Here’s your chance to share your success stories as well as your challenges and other observations.

Did you discover a new favorite? Permanently cross a finicky heirloom off your list? Was this a bad bug summer?

Tell us! Send your tomato notes to:

debarrington17@gmail.com

or

sacdigsgardening@gmail.com

. Or just post them on our Sacramento Digs Gardening Facebook page. We’ll compile them from there.

Besides tomatoes, if there are any other crops or plants that did exceptionally well in your garden this summer, share that, too.

This is garden-variety crowd sourcing. From these notes, we’ll all have a better picture of how Sacramento tomatoes performed in 2019, a non-drought summer, with hopefully some good recommendations for next year.

Thanks in advance for your notes. We’re looking forward to hearing from you soon!
