Next years tomato patch .......................
Should be very special.Not only will all five varieties that I planted last year will return next year and some I am planing to have will be a take two ( they never saw the garden) I will get to plant one while it is not unknown has not really made the rounds throughout the garden community ( as far as I know ). Vorlon. I just got this one from a seed saver in Wisconsin. I am very excited about this one mainly cuz what I have heard so far sounds pretty good.(disclaimer)My getting this tomato is in no way shape or form connected to my being a fan of Babylon 5 .
After a years long absence also returning to the garden will be Abe Lincoln. When I grew this mater back in Cali it came out perfect. No cracks,no catfacing and no BER. Most where the 8oz to 1lb range and very tasty. A word about Al-Kuffa.This is a little tomato with big tomato taste.Juicy ,fairly thin skin ,salad size and perfect for container growing as it is a patio size plant. I got this one from Baker Creek this year and it really is a great tomato.I urge you to try it. My sisters kids love tomatoes.And the bite size grape tomatoes I have (3) will be a perfect snack for them. They love having a tomato they can eat like candy. Some tomatoes I have for next year you might remember from Camo's review list. Like Earl's Faux and Carbon and of coarse the ever growing in popularity Cowlicks Brandywine which I grew this year. Fantastic taste and some of them where huge! I think Camo created a monster when he started sending the seeds out for this one. I think there will be a few surprises as far as maters go which will make all the more fun.I know my Dad and Aunt would have had a blast with this. Kevin |
