I've been to Alliance a few times. From age 12 I grew up in Sterling, CO.
You have had some COOOOL weather!!! If you think You'd like Celebrity certainly grow it. It sounds like your lineup is solid with some really great varieties.

I agree. Looks like you have a nice variety of tomato plants. Mountain Pride sounds interesting. Have you grown it before? Did you like it?
Yes!!!!!!! You certainly need to get and find room for two more plants and maybe two more after that. Gotta keep up the addiction. With your cold temps, I don't know if I would try Celebrity again or not. It was developed more for us Southern folks because we have months on end of 100+ temps and the same for humidity. It maybe that your just a bit too chilly up there for it to do well. |
