If you want REALLY good tomatoes

pbud · August 7, 2006

Make sure to get all of your seeds from Earl. Last year at the other place, ole Earl posted a tomato picture and asked for guesses. I made the lucky guess (SFT) and was rewarded with a free raid of 12 of Earl's best.

If Earl happened to waltz through Oakland and stumbled upon my garden he would be right at home. I'm telling you - nothing but winners so far! I'm still waiting on quite a few to ripen, but so far he's batting 100.

Thanks Earl!!

Yup,

Earl is the Santa Claus of tomatoes.

Anyone got Photoshop capabilities? (hint, hint) :wink:

If Earl is the Santa Claus of Tomatoes, how do I get some of those great seeds in my Christmas stocking?

Does he sell or trade?

Just be sure to be nice and not naughty.

Oh, and leave a plate of pulled pork by the tree
