Anyway, the ABOUT page might be of interest, particularly the Credits section at the bottom:

Clearly from the list of varieties, my interest is not limited to big tomatoes (I only pruned and thinned 3 of 420 tomato plants to produce GIANT tomatoes in 2011), but that's what's motivational and fun to me.

If I had a choice of picking and processing one Da Costa's Portuguese (or Virginia Sweets, Belmonte, Richardson, etc.) or 1,000 itty bitty Sara's Galapagos', I would pick the big, delicious heirloom every time (well, almost every time - I LOVE Sara's Galapagos, I just go bonkers trying to harvest them ).

I'm just thrilled and grateful that there are so many sizes, shapes, colors and flavors to try - thanks to so many dedicated growers over the generations!

Best of luck, nangisha, in growing some BIG ones in 2012 - or little ones or anything in between!
Thanks so much for clariifying the stiuation with your new company by posting the About page.

As for your Credits section, you might want to note that my book, unknown by me beforehand, went out of print this past Spring. However, if anyone goes to the sticky in this Forum where there's a thread about my book you'll see that the prices now range for what they should be to upwards of several hundreds of dollars at different sites.

As for me, I still have four unused copies here at home and am witing until the price gets up to maybe, oh $1,000/book, and the I'll consider selling.
