You have done it to me .....again
After a vow to cut back on the number of varieties and just grow my favorites plus a few of the most interesting varieties discussed on the forums I frequent. After a winter of dreaming and drooling, there are now 32 varieties in the dirt under lights in the basement. Last year it was 15 varieties and I was going to cut back from that.
I will not bore the crowd with a list, I just hope what there is will be ready for the Midwest Tomato Fest in late summer and that the old seed grow-outs do well enough to return seeds to the people who sent them to me. Looks like I need to get busy and build a bunch more cages. |

Also in the dirt are 11 varieties of peppers and 6 or 8 herbs. Hope I haven't bit off more than I can chew. |
