As far as tomatoes...I will be growing a lot of pastes this year, a lot of dwarf tomato projects as well as some heirloom slicers. I'm cutting back on heirloom slicers as 2016 was a mess with splitting, fugly looking fruit that's impossible to can. I do like them for fresh purposes; and honestly I don't even need more than a couple but i'm growing out only 25. All together I am growing 150 tomato plants.



I'm also excited to grow these beans for the next MMMM bean swap.

Kalettes! Mine did wonderfully this year, too. I just brushed the snow off the remaining stalks and cut them to bring in before tonight's predicted single digit temps. Tossed with olive oil, salt n pepper, sprinkled with hot pepper powder, and roasted, they were delicious, and I don't like kale! I left them on the stalk, hoping they'll keep a few weeks that way like Brussels sprouts.
