My only houghts are of jealousy, since you clearly have more garden space than I! Looks like you have some of the most beloved varieties there. Not many cherries, but then each of us have our own preferences and uses of our Maters! Have you grown any of these before? I woyld love to hear your favourites!

I've only got one of each in the ground. I have 20 pepper plants as well so I'm running out of space. That plus the cukes and okra will fill me up.
I have grown some before. Obviously the Porter-Charles Herring since he is my grandfather and a few others. If you aren't growing Big Cheef F6 you are missing out. |

I hope you are able to plant out soon. You are not very far from me. I am growing Dester this year. It would be interesting to compare results.

I like your list for the combination of old favorites and new arrivals. On your list the absolute best I have ever grown: Cherokee Green. That one has been on my grow list since the year I first grew it.

In my garden it produces a good amount of usually large, tomatoes. They have a great taste. A nice combination of acidic yet a little sweet at the same time. The plants are the tallest, sturdiest and have the thickest foliage in the garden. They will be on my grow list every year.
