I love the yellow pear tomatoes--they are the most wonderful tasting. We might have to try the houseplant tomato. I miss them in the winter! Wow!

Sweet and yellow like honey on the vine with a brix rating of ten.(as high as you can go) When I am outside I plop one in my mouth and I can taste sweet sunshine! The vines grow hundreds of them and I have many for my neighbors. I might try Mortgage Lifter this year for my main crop of tomatoes. It is an heirloom from the Great Depression years. Let us pray we get good weather for our gardens this year. Last year I had to pull all my tomatoes up due to the cold, wet spring and a terrible disease that attacked all our gardens in the mid-coast. Good luck to everyone with their gardens this year!

I'm not at the tomato-growing phase yet, but I certainly love the variety at the farmer's market. Can't wait (getting tired of potatoes and applies...)!! Impressive!

We just had another blizzard last night and today there is lots of new snow on the ground. Transplanting tomatoes outdoors for us won't happen until late May or early June. Hope you all have a great tomato year! Lisa, I envy you. We just had another blizzard last night and today there is lots of new snow on the ground.

I want to experiment with several different kinds of tomatoes because I have no idea which ones will grow well in our climate or our type of soil. I like your idea of the container tomatoes and also about having some of the fun types of different colors. Gardening should be fun after all! Your blog is great, I get a lot of really good ideas reading your posts.

We liked the yellow ones best but it was nice to have something unusual. I have been drooling over the seed catalogs. We only have a small garden space but we have a garden every year. Love the fresh veggies! We grew yellow and white tomatoes last year. We liked the yellow ones best but it was nice to have something unusual. I have been drooling over the seed catalogs.

My husband and I just transplanted our little tomato plants outdoors (in pots). It is a good day here in South Florida to do it. This is our second year attempting this after growing cherry tomatoes last year. We planted regular beefsteak tomatoes this year. I will be glad when we gain more confidence! Our plants were doing well last year until we went on vacation and our neighbor forgot to water. It got to almost 100 degrees here, and they were absolutely fried, along with our cucumbers and jalepeno peppers. It was sad, but we are hopeful this year will be a good little crop.
