    1. Joe –

      I love gardening and have always enjoyed growing indeterminate tomato plants. They do quite well here in the coastal Virginia climate and grow taller than the gutters on my house as the accompanying photo will show. However, I am surrounded by swamp and the squirrels here are like “hood rats” and are relentless. I get one or two good crops and by mid to late summer, regardless of what I do to stop them, once they find my tomato plants it’s a losing battle and I am lucky to even get another good harvest. I’m looking forward to those forest rats biting into one of these Jamaican Yellow Bonnet Peppers and seeing how they react!
