Next years tomato patch .......................

[OneoftheEarls]

Next year has several approaches with different gardens.

Hopefully this results in better production overall.

One section of one garden will have a dozen plants using the Wintersown technique.

Volunteers will be allowed to propagate (they come up with correct soil temps).

A cold tolerant and an early section.

Select 60 varieties carefully that I have had success with before.
Oh I love Spudatula and Cherokee Purple...lol

Select 12 new varieties. (limit of 12 will be hard)

Partner with other growers to grow for seed without limits...unless friends become
over stimulated as I have in the past...150 for me became overwhelming and I lost plants in the greenhouse. Share rare seeds I want to see maintained as a seed bank...this will help my desire to grow EVERYTHING

It was at Bill Best's bean farm. It's a yearly event - and I'm already looking forward to next year's! His website is worth the read: www.heirlooms.org
