Was thinking of two genetics: Early Girl and Stupice (Czech?) and vegging them inside under CFL then put them in containers outside about May 1st. Both are about 60 days. I must win the battle I lost with growing tomatos in my youth

| Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds - 1200 Heirloom Seed Varieties! check here for a plethora of choices. I highly recommend growing some pink brandywines. They get huge and taste excellent. Not sure if baker creek has them. Most early varieties dont compare with taste and texture of late bloomers. | ||

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Early girl is productive but fairly generic. Stupice I'm not familiar with. What Serenity said. I liked the Anna Russians and Oxhearts I grew last year. Anna Russians had a very unusual texture, like watermelon flesh. Tomato Growers Supply has many good varieties, too.

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | I too recommend some brandywine heirlooms. They are not always the prettiest, but they are large and have the best flavor of any tomato I've ever tasted. Another favorite is the yellow pear tomato. They are prolific with pear shaped fruit, slightly larger than a cherry tomato and delicious. I eat them like candy during the summer. | ||

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Got some. Black Brandywine Stupice (Czech) Oxheart Early Girl (wife choice) and for shits and giggles, 1,000 wildflower seeds Going to veg inside under CFL then put outside around May 1 using 2 gallon buckets from chinatown as I'll have to be carrying them around to meet the sun and the chinatown 2 gal. buckets come with handles (they make great hempy buckets too for $1.99). The wildflowers will be sown johnny appleseed style.
