In anticipation for this season, I had talked my sweet dad into plowing up the field near the house. (Living on a small "farm" that my grandparents used to own.) Dad keeps joking that I'm planting 2 acres of tomatoes, but I'm just going to plant 1-2 of most. I'm definitely going to plant at least 3 of Sungold, Stump, Kosovo, Indian Stripe, Cherokee Purple, & Big Beef. I have plenty of room outside and extra seedlings of all I've sown, so I'm going to stick as many tomatoes in the garden as hubby will allow. (Maybe more if he's not looking...
) I figure if I get enough in the ground, surely I won't manage to kill all of them between the weather & my lack of expertise.
Extra plants that don't won't fit or are unneeded will probably be forced upon willing family and friends. I have many tomato growers in the family, but very few start their own from seed... I'm really excited to share varieties they can't buy locally with them.
