Beefmasters, Brandy Boy, Big Beef, Sweet Chelsea, Purple podded pole, Kentucky Wonder pole, Butterstick, Table Dailty, Bush Champion, Tien Chin, Tasty Green, Giant Marconi, Giant Anconcagua, Orange sickle, Icicle, Pac-Man, and Waltham 29.

But who knows, things will probably change between now and then, I only have another hundred varieties of seeds on hand I could try instead of the tried and true ;-)

Tom

Sheez, I haven't tried even a single one of those, I feel like such a newbie sometimes. I will look those up. Would you have a few extra seeds to share maybe? I have some Bakercreek melon seeds I'm trying now if you would like some. Emerald Gem, Green Machine, Gaucho, Honeyrock, Orangeglo watermelon, Ali Baba watermelon. Emerald Gem and Green Machine are small enough to grow easily in 5gal containers.

Tomatos: I am going to try Brandy Boy, better Boy and Lemon Boy in the garden. I am also looking for a determinate to grow in a pot, heirloom taste would be a big bonus.

I would like to try Fortex beans this year.

I am sticking with Jericho lettuce, Superstar onions, and the savoy cabbage I grew this year.

I am going to try to store some of my successful garlic crop to replant. I got the originals at Publix they were in a package from an Orlando grower. I chilled them prior to planting and that or our weird whether did the trick.

Will try squash and cucumbers yet again. Would like to get my hands on some cucino cucumbers.

Tomatoes: Margo, Black Cherry, Dr.Carolyn and some heirlooms especially black and purple types (have to look through the seed box).
First time will try to grow ginger and turmeric, may have to visit an Asian market to get fresh turmeric root.
Late late fall: start collards, cabbage, lettuces.

Would you have a few extra seeds to share maybe?

Of course, I've only got a couple thousand seeds to share :-) Drop me a line indicating what your interests are.

I am sticking with Jericho lettuce....

Oh, I forgot the lettuce, don't get me started on that one :-) :-(

And Denise has reminded me I forgot the Dr. Carolyn's and Black Cherries, I have to grow at least one each of those, as well as at least one each of the Aliana, Galinas and Husky Cherry Reds....

Tom

Very nice of you Tomncath, I sent you an email. The Black Cherry and Dr. Carolyn tomatoes sound yummy, as do some others. Thank you

CYE ;-)

Honestly, I'll probably end up working on my spring plans that I didn't complete. But if I try to be optimistic, then the following:

HARDSCAPE
Replace fence/gate on east side of house
Create walkway through gate to back
Continue to put pavers along back fence (for dog patrol)

PLANTS
Try to grow my first tomatoes
Plant amaryllis and daylily bulbs - haven't grown these before either so I'm excited to try. I need to find a good place to order the bulbs.
