Besid...el--that's only 4 more than you are growing! Besides about 1/2 of them are paste. So you can guess what I am doing with them this year. I always find I plant lots of eating tomatoes and end up with too few canners---so for the first time, I switched! It's hard not to get caught up in all those beefsteaks though when reading the catalogs :-)Dancingfarmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02542161200214992918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915198895997970267.post-30508467276585226342007-02-19T12:08:00.000-05:002007-02-19T12:08:00.000-05:00Holy cannoli that is a LOT of types of tomatoes! ...Holy cannoli that is a LOT of types of tomatoes! YUM. And I though I grew a lot with just 8 varieties.<BR/><BR/>You know, M, artichokes are really difficult little buggers to get to sprout, much less get going big enough to ever have the flowers to eat. So getting as many as you did seems about right. I would watch the unsprouted ones for a few days yet. You never know. The plants get pretty big (about 2' around) in their first year and can be quite magnificent thereafter. Mine get to be a bit taller than knee-high, and I have them clustered together; it makes it easier to mulch over them to keep them alive over the winter.Elhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14878724196098024140noreply@blogger.com
