Got Em' In!
We're finally out of the frost danger here in
Kansas City and I've got all my plants in the gardens! 49 plants a mix of Brandywine, Brandywine Red, Amana Orange, Juli Child, Florida Pink, Striped Cavern, Beam's Yellow Pear, Super Snow White, Hawaiian Currant, Jumbo Roma, Russian Big Roma, Martino's Roma, and one lovely Cherokee Purple. I also have some hybrids...Roma VF, Better Boy VFN, and one Rutgers. All plants except the Cherokee Purple and the Rutgers were started from seed back in late February. All are in raised beds with silver reflective mulch film with 1gph drip emitters installed...should be a relatively weed free tomato filled year! I found this site after I bought all my seed for the year and am DROOLING over some of the varieties you guys have talked about...especially Carolyn's favorites (I ordered her book last week...should be here any day now!). Already looking forward to some new varieties next year!
