This is Big Cheef I'm super impressed with this plant so far it tied grosse verte Rose for first tomatoes. If the taste is half as good as what people say this is going to be a keeper. You can see one tiny little tomato in the center of the plant

This is cow licks once again I'm glad I planted two plans because one did well and the other very poor if I would have only planted the plant that did poorly I would nothave had a very good impression about this plant I've had bad luck with brandywine's so I'm keeping my fingers crossed but so far so good. It has more blooms than any other Brandywine that I have planet. You just can't see them very well in the picture

This is heshpole this one looks a little weak but I'm thinking that maybe like most Hearts they look flimsy and weak and then turn on later

I love Earl Faux. I remember his tomato posts on gardenweb.. His special tomato plant hole method.. It seemed like a lot of work for a tomato plant but.. none the less his results were impressive.

Daniel burson I've been trying to grow this since last spring but for some reason or another things just didn't work out so I'm super looking forward to Growing this this year. this plant is a little smaller than the others but I have a feeling it's going to explode pretty soon

This is the one and only pruden's purple one of my favorite Tomatoes very productive and delicious. As long as I have a garden this tomato makes the cut. I've noticed I grow a lot of potato leaf plant there must be something about that shade in Texas

This one's general lee and it's another one that I've been wanting to grow for a while but things just didn't work out thank you Marsha for the seeds you truly are a blessing to tomatoville. It's a little bit smaller of a plant because I started the seeds a little later. Looking forward to tasting this one it's supposed to be a little bit better than Rebel Yell so say some people.

Delerium I just read the earl hole method sounds like pretty good idea. I'm kind of lazy though I just till in a whole bunch of turkey and mushroom compost.if you see anything im growing and want the seeds for it let me know I'll hook you up

Yep you guessed it another potato Leaf this one's West Virginia straw I've heard good things about this one but it's not looking very vigorous right now. It was planted a little later like General Lee

Purple dog creek I love this tomato its a good tasty pink. It has made the cut in my garden for the last 4 years and I don't think I'll be cutting it anytime soon. I just wish it was a little more productive
