guess who's going to have buttloads of tomatos?

We are!
Here we have 15 varities of Heirloom tomato seeds sprouting. Why 15, you may ask? I don't have a good answer. I just wanted to try a bunch of different types.
I started these seeds for my stepmom, the gardening goddess, for Mother's Day. If I'd have had the idea in say, March, we could just about be putting them into the ground right now. I didn't think of it until late April (natch) so we may have a late harvest.


how can you resist names like Delicious,Green Zebra, Cherokee Purple, Brandywine Yellow, German Red Strawberry, Yellow Marble, Hillbilly W Virginia, & Mortgage Lifter?
I am dreaming of all the delicious BLT's and gazpachos that I will make. Mmmmmm...
And look who has taken up residence in the thyme...bookworm gnome!
Have a beautiful Saturday :)

And here I was feeling like my six varieties were a lot! Clearly, I have a lot to learn.

My tomatoes: a beefsteak, Roma, Yellow Pear, a cherry, Mr. Stripey, and Black Brandywine.

I wasn't planning to have so many, but I visited a garden shop with a friend and, since she's a widow, she didn't want all the plants in her four packs, so we swapped some of her tomato plants for some of my butternut squash plants.
