That is a lot of plants >>> so you use all the tomatoes yourself or do you sell them or what?

Michael if you can find one called Rutger always was a good juice tomato

West River we buy aseedling mix that is made out of extra fine peat and perlite with a wetting agent and this year I added a little sifted black dirt in it to experiment with for moisture retention

Trapper Less we have a vacuum seeder we started with a hand seeder years ago and that was slow and made your eyes hurt when planting small seeds

Snowy My brother and I run a small nursery

There is a web site "tomato fest". They have 650 different verities of heirloom tomato seed for sale. It's very interesting.

I sell maybe 25 varieties, and a half dozen or more are heirlooms . I mostly grow what grows up here on the 49th parallel .

Jonesy take all those left over cherry mater's ( if there's any) wash and freeze whole in a gallon zip lock freezer bag to use in soups and on venison roasts all winter long.
