What's up everyone? Hope you are ready for some tomato love and I know it might be a little early for many of us

But for me and I'm not trying to brag, but it is just the truth. I have some early ripe tomatoes right now. Right now, that is correct. I have some

a powder out of them, add a bunch of calcium in there that's going to prevent against blossom
