May 2017

Cherokee Purple and Brandywine.

I think I will have 84 tomatoes when I am done planting (low number for me!).

Lots of Dwarf project R&D work going on - working on variegated foliaged compact dwarf growing plants - also yellow foliage, chartreuse foliage, and working the high antho gene into something that actually tastes good.

I need to get you some Lucky Cross - it is the only big yellow/red tomato I enjoy eating (the others are gorgeous, but too mild/sweet for me!).

Then there are the peppers..and eggplants....
