I know...you want to know when I'll have time to eat all this. Believe me, I'll find the time!

I'm actually going to cut the size of my garden this year and be way more selective about what I put in. What tomatoes I plant will be determined by what the local farmer's market vendor has, I just hope they have the mini orange tomatoes that we love.
My dad's neighbour that supplied me with the best heirloom tomatoes recently passed away, not sure if anyone will be planting the seeds he saved but my dad said that he would have a few plants for me. No idea of the name but it's a heart shaped red tomato, low yield (4-5 per plant) but large and hardly any seeds. A great salad tomato.

Dave,

Given that it was snowing in NYC this morning, I'm amazed that you can think about planting.

Fuzzy,

It snowed 6" here eight days ago, and was 72° two days ago, but today it will struggle to get to 40°. But most of this stuff is planted indoors, for now, so I have to do it, no matter what it is like out there!
