Marsha, seeing all of those great pictures with the descriptions is not helping my resolve to grow fewer varieties at all! This fall really has been good for growing tomatoes. It has been warm enough for them and yet cool enough to have lettuces flourish. I am always so happy when I can have tomatoes, lettuce and cilantro thriving at the same time which is not possible in summer months.

Hey Kay... U have to switch from lettuce to spinach in the summer. Along with lima beans and Blue Lake green beans. Italian parsley is also a good summer grower.

I have never been able to grow spinach for some reason. I can get Swiss Chard and Collards to grow most of the summer. I love to grow Kentucky Wonder beans and am now wondering why I did not plant a fall crops of them.

Can only grow Collards from Sept. to May. They bolt to fast when the weather gets over 85 degrees at night. Kentucky Wonder are also good beans. I also grow sweet basil and Genovese basil all summer as well.

My first to ripen was SunGold F1, Followed by Raspberry Miracle.
I think Kiss The Sky or KARMA Pink, or Elgin Pink or Not Purple Strawberry, or Lithium Sunset, or or or...... I simply cannot pick only one, but those are some not BearShare all of my favorites this season do far. I am only about 2/3 through.

Some interesting ones

First and last photos are of Jazz. Huge fruits, kinda medium late, with a scarred stem end that invites trouble. Very tasty, huge but you don't get that many. So very pretty though. RL, indet

Second, Sixth and Seventh are 2 of my bicolors: Nature's Riddle, and Everett's Rusty Oxheart, taste, ERO is delicious sweet, meaty firm. 8/10 lots of premature rotting, I was wondering if I was going to get mature fruit. Would've been productive if they hadn't rotted like that. Also, definitely not ox heart shaped. Good breeding tomato.
Nature's Riddle, kinda soft and mushy, potatoey. Good for sauce because it is meaty. Large fruits, med. Low production. Both are RL, indet

Green Zebra Cherry, great producer of sweet and acid very tasty mid season fruit. Nothing like green Zebra other than looks. I like it's firm fruit and great sweet taste. RL, indet

Reinhardt Kraft 's Green When Ripe Heart.- not heart shaped, mushy potatoey texture, but very good flavor. Large and pear shaped, STINGY! Taste-meh! RL indet.

Jimbo, it's a good one. Seeds will probably be available in my January seed offer, for it and most of these.

Marsha, they all look scrumptious. "I'm like a kid in a candy store". Do not know which one to google first.
