I've no connection with CPP, but they have an awesome tomato start collection going on sale.

Here's a link to the available varieties. Hope I did that right, otherwise copy/paste.

This is the correct link (for the tomato varieties):

Impressive. And as for so many things said to be dying out (classical music, gardening, poetry), I am pleased to see that those occupations still have many young people entering them.

Nice list of tomatoes... it is a good resource for local people who don't have access to their own seed (or an ability to germinate for themselves).

On the downside, the list still has factual errors that kinda drive me mad (and would have done so with Carolyn too). For instance, New Big Dwarf is listed as a red determinate instead of the correct 'pink indeterminate'. C'est la vie.

That's me! Never have gotten the hang of starting my own from seed.

To be honest, I'd love it if someone else would do all the work starting my seeds and just give me a plant ready for final transplant. Easy-peasy!
