Yet more tomato plants
The addiction grows, thanks to everyone here and Craig's book. So after reading Craig's book this winter I said to myself, I really need to try Mexico Midget sometime. At our local farmer's market today I said if I can find Mexico Midget I'll pick one up and put it in the extra 5 gallon bucket I have. After going about 1/2 way through the market (it is a large market on the sidewalks around our state Capitol), I stumbled across Gold Rush Currant tomato. I asked the seller, would you describe this as more sweet or tangy? He said it's both sweet and tangy--which sounded right up my alley. I said to my wife, I highly doubt I'll find Mexico Midget, so picked up Gold Rush Currant. Then low and behold I find Mexico Midget (from another T'Ville member none the less--I should have known!). I had to pick it up too. So now I need to get another bucket and another cage and a couple more stakes. I said 18 tomato plants was plenty, probably too many. Well we're at 20 now. I can't wait to try two more new to me varieties! Tomatoes by year: 2015: 20 plants, 2014: 14 plants, 2013: 6 plants, 2012: 6 plants. Notice a trend? Jan. 2014 I joined T'Ville.
