Maybe another convert
Our townhouse property manager just stopped by to check on my tomato plants as he was in the area and heading to another property close by that he manages and he said he had just but his plants out on Saturday and then Sunday we got a hailstorm (missed my area) and said he lost all his seedlings. He does grow from seed but grows only hybrids.
So I gave him the few back-ups I had left KBX, Spudakee, and Cherokee Green. He has only grown red tomatoes but seemed excited to get these nice big plants since his were all destroyed. All of these are new to me as well but if all goes well he will be planting more heirlooms and less hybrid tomatoes in the future. He also commented on the different leaf types of KBX and Spudakee and said he had never grown a PL leaf tomato I was surprised since he had been growing tomatoes for quite sometime but it just goes to show some people grow tomatoes and some people are tomatoholics like me and read everything there is to know about tomatoes and tomato varieties and are still left wanting more |
