So Many Tomatoes So Little Space




I am so excited I planted my tomato seeds this weekend!  With so many choices to pick from this year it made it very hard to decide on what varieties to grow.  I wish I had acres so I could grow them all, but I don't so I had to pick and choose.  Since I haven't been gardening long, there are so many tomato varieties I am still learning about.   This year I learned about wintersown.org and have received many new tomato varieties from Trudi that I now have 80 varieties!  I narrowed it down to 40 varieties to try this year, most of them being heirlooms.  I can't wait to try them all!  I am going to try saving seeds this year to hopefully start trading with other gardeners.  I wanted to share the varieties I will be growing this year, so here it goes...

  3. I see you have a few of my favorites, Paul Robeson & Boxcar Willie & a few that I would like to try, Chocolate Cherry & Mr. Stripey. I would be interested in exchanging seeds with you. I have a post up seeking bloggers who want to exchange.

    1. I would love to trade seeds with you. This will be my first official year I am saving seeds from my tomatoes, I only saved a few last year. The Mr. Stripey seeds I am growing this year are from a plant I grew last year. I am hoping they will come true and if so I plan on saving the seeds.
