Garden planning and selection

[gardengalrn]

I have my 2012 garden already planned and have selected (and bought seed for) all the varieties of various veggies I plan to grow. I would be interested in any comments on a few new (to me) tom varieties I got from Skyfire because they were listed as doing well in her garden and/or tolerent of drought/heat: Rio Grande, Adelia, Porter. I've read about Rio Grande and Porter before but have never heard of Adelia. Also new to me from different sources are Nebraska Wedding, Sioux, and Mortgage Lifter. Any comments are appreciated.

I'm also going back to some of my old favorites: Eva Purple Ball, Cherokee Purple, Kellogg's Breakfast, Pruden's Purple, Stump of the World, Lucky Cross, Aunt Ruby's Green, Cuostralee, Earl's Faux, New Big Dwarf, Gregori's Altai, and Carbon. I found that I had a few seeds left of Ernesto and Rinaldo, acquired from a nice fellow here, but I don't remember his name. They were both very nice toms and if I can grow them out plan to can them. The same is true about Portuguese Monster #1 and #2, also acquired from someone here. For cherries, I'm doing Sun Sugar, Sweet Million, Dr. Carolyn and Black Pearl. As I stated in a previous post, it is a pain to germinate Black Cherry as they take too long for me. I figured Black Pearl was worth a try and if it is a spitter and will go back to cussing Black Cherry next year. Variegated was a novelty the year I grew it but I did like the abundant/tasty toms so I'm throwing that in too.
