I just zipped through Sandhill's A to Z list of tomatoes and was surprised how many i
have tried over the years. (this was back when we had a hard frost in late August and
thought i needed to try speedier ripening tomatoes)...earlies and anything with Northern
sounding names. I'm a bit over that now as others do so well i don't need the Arctic
ones. Polar, etc.
That year i was pulling out entire plants and hanging them all over the barn.
....short lived experiment. U of Idaho and Minnesota had some promising varieties.
Not many made it for me. Sophie's choice, Bison, Manitoba...trying Scotia this year.
I'll be driving through NovaScotia next week and stop at a big veg market. They always
have a few good ones for sale but no listed names. (local farms). Not fond of saving
seeds from those but driving blind landrace style might be the way to go.
