The Evolution of the Hominid's Diet
The tomato seed has been organized so that it can be sown in containers in just a few days! Twenty six varieties with 6 of them hybrids - if I counted right. Last year, there were 29 varieties which was the most evah
!
I really enjoy eating, growing and talking about tomatoes! Mine would be a different garden if there weren't so many plants and so many varieties out there.
There's no question that I rely on the hybrids and have for a long time. Still, I've gone for heirlooms in what is a big way for me but only 3 are new-to-me this year
.
Taste is subjective. With the heirlooms - some just absolutely delight me with their flavor. That's me.
I will continue to grow Early Girl and Big Beef and the golden cherries. It worries me a little that I don't have much control over the seed from those varieties. Yes, they do seem to have good vigor and I really appreciate their resistance to disease but the heirlooms that are grown from saved seed - make me happy.
Would you like to list your 2012 tomato varieties??
