A Tomato List Challenge
Hi All,
I put together a list with pics where you can click on the tomatoes to see how many you've grown from 100 Heirloom Tomatoes for the American Garden and a few more that are favorites of mine a few other tomato friends. I hope you all enjoy it! http://www.listchallenges.com/100-he...merican-garden Oh and I got a 43. Remy

Thanks, Remy! That was fun, and I got a 41. There were a couple in there that I think I had some old trade seeds for that never germinated, so I couldn't count them since I never actually grew them, darn it!

Remy, I apologize for not getting back to your PM ASAP on this , but I guess I start with a score of 100 or so,, and then add those that you listed and so it goes.
Carolyn, who one day will get caught up on PM's and e-mails and posts here and there. Edited to add that when I saw the new ones you added I haven't grown Goose Creek.You really did a great job getting the pictures and putting this together, so congrats.

Is my first year gardening but I've got a good start of four. However, I also have one called the quarter century. The seed packet says heirloom. And its a great tasting tomato. Where does it fall if not on the list?

Shoot, my description of Matchless is cut off on the list. It should say "Matchless now IDed as Quarter Century."

Thanks, nice job Remy! 63 for me. (I counted KBX as Kellogg's Breakfast, so I cheated a bit)

I got an 86, but I didn't know that Matchless was the same as Quarter Century, so I guess that makes 87. Have to add that to my notes.
Lots of fun, Remy. Thank you!
