For me, it's Esterina f1! I've been looking for something else besides sungold for a long time. I've been growing sungold for about 6 years now - ever since I first found it.

I'm excited to be trying tomatillos and ground cherries, in order to make some different types of delicious salsa.
As for tomatoes, I think I'm most excited to try the Jazz tomatoes? |

As I'm looking for the ultimate fried green tomato, based on my taste buds, I'm excited about trialing Park's Whopper CR Improved, Brandymaster Red, Crimson Carmello, and Gardner's Choice.
Also am excited to be growing salad burnet again. It's a leaf that tastes like cucumber. Since I can't grow a cuke to save my life, I value this plant for salads. Nan |

I am both excited and nervous.
I moved 3200 mile from near Pacific (PNW ) to Near Atlantic (Southeast NC ). I am in an uncharted territory (for me ) weather and soil wise. That is the nervous part. I am excited to have much warmer weather, bigger garden that I can grow more tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, okra ( I love okra ). Out of close to 35 varieties of tomatoes 20 of them are for the first time. In addition to excitement and nervousness, there is a lot of anticipation : What to expect !

Hard one, but I think what I'm most excited about is getting back to growing melons. I love melons more than just about anything and earlier this winter I sprouted some 10 year old seed for a variety that I used to grow that was incredibly delecious. I can't wait to bite into another one!

More realistically: Growing muscle tone / reducing fat.
Hopefully: Growing tomatoes with much less RKN damage. |

I'm excited by the possibility of actually having tomato plants that stay healthy past late July...if I can manage to successfully graft them.

And I'm most excited just thinking about which varieties I'll have someone grow for me at home.
I enjoy thinking a lot, it's the doing that often doesn't get done. ![]() ![]() Carolyn

I received some called Grape Soda, and I'm pretty sure they aren't tomato seeds!
