I grow for production - Jet Stars. Then each year before Tville and GW, I would find something different and give it go - Mr. Stripey, Husky Red, an orange, etc. THEN, I discovered the wonderful world of heirlooms - can't live without my Jet Stars and now I can't grow w/o Black Krim, C purp, Hungarian heart, my own compost baby, my friend's heirloom - which means each year I seem to have less room because I am always finding something that I must grow. Forgot Martino's Roma for sauce - maybe 14-16 of those this year. So instead of 14-15 new varieties each year, I am down to 10-12 depending. I have no where else to expand unless my dear neighbor would take down an awful elm! Piegirl
