That pic of Japanese Swiss Chard is absolutely beautiful! Do you mind if I ask where you got seeds? I am growing Swiss Chard Verde De Taglio, It is an Italian variety. It is supposed to be sweet and tender, and a cut and come again kind. I love swiss chard.. I am also (will be) growing Kamo...

Now that is one giant, lovely, volunteer!! I will be looking for more updates, and cant wait to find out what mystery tomato it might be.

Your daughters kitty sounds adorable.. I can feel your excitement about you wanting and getting a GH as soon as you can. Being able to start your own seedlings, and put together hanging baskets, window boxes etc..is a lot of fun, and something so creative and magical about it.. Have you...

A fish aquarium is a great idea with lid, hardware cloth, and ventilation.. I only have to deal with one cat, and boy do I know from experience, they love to do damage to houseplants , and anything with dirt, little seedlings etc.. My GH is unheated, so when I start my seedlings indoors, in late...

Hi, No sry, I dont sell my seeds..But I do share when I have enough of a variety (s) to share..Sometimes for a SASE if i send out a lot...Or I will mail out to a few people ..I dont have enough seed to share for a lot of the tomatoes mentioned beacuse I already sent out a lot to some people on...

I usually start mine in early to mid February, and end up transplanting once or twice, They are for the most part, nice sized plants when set outside or in GH..

Jared, Fish Lake Oxheart is early, I grew two plants in GH and three outside. All did well,, Yasha Yugoslavian, Nicky Crain, and Anna Maria's Heart I grew out in GH and they did well. Reif Red Heart and Oleyars German were both grown in GH and outside garden, both did well, but the Oleyars...

I cant go to crazy with seeds..Hubby and I are moving off our 120 acre farm (lived here 33 years) and living closer to the city on 1 1/3 acres..A big change for us.. .I am dismantling my recycled greenhouse we built a few years ago, and takig it with us. I started some herbs a couple weeks...

And that would be a good thing!! LOL You just need to find one or two that would do well in your region. :) )

So many hearts to choose from..But some of the best are: Kosovo, Danko, German Red Strawberry, Reif Red Heart, Oleya'rs German, Linnies Oxheart, Orange Russian 117, Yasha Yugoslavian, Anna Maria's Heart..A few others have slipped my mind. Oh, Nicky Crain.. Pink Oxheart is sort of a generic...

I got the seeds from someone who offered them for growouts, and to report back on germination and how they do. Not much is known of this variety except some gentleman ( the garlic man :) ) from Canada, aquired the seeds through someone, but cant remember exactly where he got it..So it is sort...

I love heart varieties.. Fish lake Oxheart was no exception..Outstanding flavor, meaty with right balance of juice. Pretty good production. The plant was a bit flimsy, needs staking..I will grow this again in my 2013 garden. Tomatoes were averaging 12-16 oz.. Has anyone else grown this variety...

LOL..Thank's for posting the link Steve. 2010 was a great year for growing my tomatoes. Actually it was my best ever, in the past 22+ years of growing heirlooms. Unfortunately 2012 was a bust for me. The plants in my GH did well, but outside garden was hit hard by drought, hail, disease etc..you...

Absolutely stunning! I adore poppies. Especially the Papaver Somniferum. The double burgandy catches my eye...I struggle with trying to grow them from seed. It's a hit and miss for me ..I dont think it helps when I sprinkle seeds around in early spring and the chickens are free ranging and...

Thank you marshall.. Costoluto Genovese

Hi, Costoluto Genovese, while not a paste, is a wonderful tomato for cooking down into sauce. I have been growing it for a number of years now, and it always does well for me in my zone 4 garden. It is extrememly productive and a very pretty, medium, fluted tomato tastes great also. It is a bit...

LOL!! So your looking to cross your boar buck with your Nubians? Dont be surprised if maybe he just might get lucky while he's in heat one day!! All things are possible when they are in heat! :) Southerngardener, I look forward to goat cheese pizza someday! Yummy!!

What variety did you grow and like? No Blue for me.. I had a chance to aquire seed for the MSU Blue and declined..I heard the taste is subjective...Maybe someday, but I just cant bring myself to grow that blue tomato just yet.. Just me!

Thank's skeeter. yes, in 2010 I had around 200 tomato plants planted outside and 50 in the GH. it was a great year for tomatoes. Last year, 2011, not so much! LOL.

You got the fever! It never stops! Next year you will add even more heirlooms to the list, something different to try. Next thing you know you will be saving and trading seeds..then you will have a collection. A rather large collection. Reds, Yellows, Pinks, Greens, Blacks/Purples, Whites...
