Gizzard you picked a good bunch to go with, glad to see you around I was wondering about you just yesterday.
Thought maybe you got carried off by a raccoon or something.

Not OCD by any means, but this addiction is becoming a bit ridiculous! I have a few more that aren't on the list as well as a handful of chile peppers, tomatillo, and basil. I'm trying to offer mostly heirloom, but I've had so many requests for bush tomatoes for patio gardening that I will sell some of those varieties as well.

Yes to the dwarves !!!

Especially if you have a college crowd and/or a retirement crowd.

I have a bit of both at my Madison market and both would like some tomatoes but don't have the garden space. But most have at least some kind of porch or balcony where they can put a potted tomato plant.

The trick is to have at least a few that make at least a tennis ball sized slicer. A few cherries too, but many want something big enough to slice for a sandwich.

The Husky series has been good for that size but is getting hard to find and is hybrid (or so they say). I've been growing them out and they seem to be quite stable so far. Patio and some of the Bush varieties are OK size wise too.

It will be nice when they finally get some of the Dwarf varieties stable enough to release seeds so we have more Dwarves larger than cherries..
