5/23/11 - Finally Planted Some Tomatoes

recruiterg · May 24, 2011

First and foremost, my thoughts and prayers go out to those affected by the tornado/storms in Missouri and Minnesota last weekend. Here's hoping everyone survived and is doing ok.

It seems every time I go out to the garden this spring the clouds open up and a torrential rain comes bearing down on me. I had a killer frost take most of my seedlings that I started on my own. In sum, I've had a run of bad luck in the garden this spring. However, thanks to Bitterwort (Shelly S.) I was able to find some seedlings for my gardens so that I can get going again. I also had a gift certificate at Tangletown Gardens and they happen to stock 80 different varieties of heirloom tomatoes.

Here's the list for my backyard garden:

Rose
KBX
Stump of the World
SunGold
Prue
Brandywine Sudduth
Wes
Aunt Ginny's Purple
Lucky Cross
Golden Cherokee
Earl's Faux
Black Cherry
Chadwick Cherry
Jaune Flamme
Gianini
Gold Medal
1884 Purple
Yellow Brandywine
