Dotson's Garden 2019
I got the seedlings out this weekend, I'm growing 18 different varieties: Early Girl, Dr. Wyche's Yellow, Pink Brandywine, Black Brandywine, Aker's WV, Big Czech (WV heirloom), Cosmic Eclipse, Black Beauty, Not Purple Strawberry, Zena's Gift, Terhune (AKMark 5.42), Costuluto Genovese, Dan's Monster Biscuit (mystery from biscuitridge), Big Zac, Dotson's Lebanese Heart, Girl Girl's Weird Thing, Rebel Yell, and Stick. I'm a bit later than last year, but hoping for a reasonably dry Spring and Summer!

I am really looking forward to growing this one out! Early and large! I also love the fluted shoulders on the tomato, and the overall "tall" shape. I especially respect Karen's journey in getting this tomato documented and available to folks to grow out.

Garden update 5-31-19. Things moving along very well with no insects in sight. We are moving from 95 degree heat back down to the mid 80's so hopefully pollination will be more favorable.
