Ron,
I am sure you will get several suggestions, but I would drop from your list: Carbon, Kimberly, Cherokee Chocolate and Prue as you have other similar blacks and Oxhearts on your list. Raybo |

I’m devoting my time to Okra and melons this year with only about 24 tomato plants grown in raised beds.
The reason is as soon as our friends from Mexico get back from the holydays I’m getting a large shop built 30X40 or 40x50on the back side of my place. To do this I need a concrete slab poured and you can’t do that during the holydays as the labor is down south with their family. The road to the shop will run smack dab through my garden, no way out of it. I will tell you that I have to grow, The list, Wild cherry. Black cherry, Cherokee purple. Black pear, Sun Gold. Some kind of red tomato, This reminds me I have to look at my seeds and plant them pronto I’m a little late but I can’t help my schedule it is what it is. I think this year is going to be an outstanding year in my neck of the woods for a garden. Worth |

You know all of you guys and gals with a list of seeds and plants to grow as long as your arms this year are mentally ill.
I did that for a while and got help. It’s an illness that needs immediate attention and shouldn’t be ignored. Don’t be ashamed of your selves for this, it is the result of subliminal advertising and the fact that you hang out on this forum with folks with a common illness known as TDD (Tomato Deficit Disorder). For years I have been counseling people with this disorder and have many success stories to verify the effectiveness of my methods. To learn more on how to start on the path of wellness and get a free counseling session follow these simple instructions. Send all of your seeds to me and they will be disposed of along with $1000 for shipping and handling. Burn all of your catalogs and delete all of your shortcuts to seed vendors. Get a new hobby such as growing Okra, “it is a well known fact you can’t get addicted to Okra”. This add is paid for by the commercial tomato suppliers of America.

Worth, you've just posted three times in less than 24 hours on okra.
I think you may have ODD. Check with your doctor. Christine |

Jalapenos are a must for me. I MUST grow them, because my family and friends need steady supply of bacon wrapped jalapeno poppers .
And okra, no kidding |

It's already done, and most of the seedlings are 2 to 4 inches tall already. Plant out hopefully will be complete by 2/15.
For the bulk of the garden... Akers West Virginia Brandy Boy Break O' Day Indian Stripe Moreton Complemented by... Ashleigh Gary'O Sena Mexico Moskvich Palla di Fuoco Sungold Tigerly I don't know if I'll keep any of these these or give them away, but I'm also growing a few Big Beef, Black Krim, Bloody Butcher, Ramapo, Rutgers and Supersonic. That's it for seeds this season. I'm regretting that I didn't sow a few Boondocks, but time's up already. |

Ron... I'd scratch Sioux. If it's anything like its sibling Super Sioux, it's wasted space for complete lack of flavor. (I know others disagree, but that's my experience here.) You have other, better reds.
