Siratanon, I like the idea of the boards. . . that way I can feign weakness and bring my husband along to protect me8)
I've planted Hawaiian Currant, Coyote, LGS, Marianna's Peace, Paul R., Yellow Brandywine Platfoot S., Hawaiian Pineapple, German Giant, Aunt Ruby's German G, Clint Eastwood's RR, Blakc Krim, and Kellogg's Breakfast and have ordered SunGold and Goose Greek. I'm also planning on ordering or picking up Brandywine, Black Cherry, a green cherry, Matt's wild cherry (I grew up with this!!), Marvel Stripe and some sort of hollow or ribbed mater as well. And if I go to Tomatomania at White's Flower Farm-- who knows what I'll come home with !!!! My space is pretty unlimited. . . I'm planting in both a community garden (my space is 1600sq feet though I can get an unlimited amount 20min away if need be ) and I have a sunny decent sized backyard. I'm planting in the town space because the soil's already organically amended and tilled (super clay soil here,) and my backyard (must spend $$$$$ to amend) because I'm worried about disease death at the town garden. I plan to walk away from this summer with SOMETHING, goshdarnit!!!!! And Feldon-- I think you're right about the small maters. . . I'm having a crappy showing with coyote as well- 2 out of 70 seeds!!!!!! I only had 2 of the HC's, but fortunately after a resowing I just got 4 or so more |

I've tried them with determinates and didn't have much luck but as others have said, they are perfect for the peppers you are going to want to grow now I also use them for many of my flowers and things that tend to grow tall then flop over with a big flower head like dalias or zinnias.
