I posted the other day about a new blogger I found, Mimi, and how she's starting some winter sowing for the first time. She also (and I subsequently) shared a linke to WinterSown.org where, for a small donation of $5 and a SASE, you get to choose 6 plus 4 default tomato breed seeds (you'll receive at least 6 seeds, maybe a few more, depends on their stock) of 10 types of tomato seeds. OH, I had such a hard time choosing! I finally settled on these (hopefully they have them in stock...if not, they'll substitute with something to be a surprise!):
- Green Zebra - 3 oz fruit ripen to light green with dark green streaks
- Louisiana Pink - loads of round pink fruits, flavorful
- Legend - up to 1 lb frutis, Developed by Oregan St. University to be resistent to Blight, sweet, red
- Mister Stripey - 2-3 oz fruits ripen to red with yell stripes, tangy flavor
- Sunray - 3" fruits ripen to a golden orange
- Tomatilla Purple - ripens to purple, harvest with husks begin to break
- Tiny Tim - abundant, red cherries on dwarf plants, good to grow in containers
- Super Marmande - 6-7 oz fruits ripen to red, French heirloom seeds
- Sausage - extra long, 6" tapered fruits, meaty and fast producer
- Wild Card - this is left at their choice to be a surprise, will either be an heirloom or rare tomato seeds NOT listed for choice on their list
I recently discover winter sowing. Well I read about it and would love to try it!
ReplyDeleteI'd like to try it too, Nicole. I'm so worried that I'll do something wrong, lol and I soooo hate seeing a seed or plant or seedling go to waste, tsk tsk
