Don't Bother
I've got 83 tomato varieties in the garden this year plus some volunteers that I've allowed to survive. With multiples of some varieties it amounts to 100+ plants. The HM 1823 variety had such a sexy name I couldn't resist buying one from the local grocery store. It has produced loads of big tomatoes on a compact plant that are only a little better than grocery store stuff--hard, not much flavor but beautiful. I've used some in fresh salsa with lots of Creole Seasoning salt and it was still good (zingers like Red Boar were also in the mix). I don't think I'll be growing this one again.
