Tomato Time

 I planted tomatoes night before last AND there's another cold snap on the way! *Note-you can access a different interesting website for each variety description, they are all some of my favorite online seed and plant resources, and find more information on each if you wish.  Tomato varieties Jetstar, Champion, Ball's Beefsteak and one Brandywine. The first two are early varieties, 60 days or so, the third one I never heard of but it's 72 days and the fourth one is an heirloom that's pink but has no disease resistance. The others are hybrids. 17 plants. Not done yet but at least I'm started! I want a yellow (possibly Golden Jubilee) and maybe some little cherries or something and, maybe some other kind of "heirloom". I find all that stuff fun and the breeding on these tomato varieties and their development is just fascinating, all the variety we have to choose from.

Blacks, Purples, Heirloom, Hybrid, Red, Yellow, Orange, Green, White, Striped-they are a showcase of modern plant breeding and the very finest of old time genetics. Taste, color, science and art. 

I've been a little behind on writing this year but the weather is keeping everyone hopping!  I'm just thankful we have rain and no 90 degree days yet. Last year was, in a word, withering.

More soon. Have a wonderful week if you stopped in! ~JB
