tomatoes

Main tomatoes to include in our seed inventory next year:
Green Zebra
Tigrella
Green Sausage
Indigo Rose (get extra)

New ones:
Yellow Pear
Tumbling Tom
Yellow and purple cherry
Striped Roma (Striped Roman)
Purple Roma (Purple Russian)
dark red cherry (black cherry)
red and purple cherry (indigo rose cherry)
Blush cherry-roma
Pink Tiger Cherry Roma
All multicolor and striped cherry tomatoes available (ex. bumblebees)


Summary: Good varieties for 2018, but need tumbling tom (container type), yellow pear, need red roma types, especially coloured, and more multicoloured cherry tomatoes. Large yellow types did well too, so did Black Oxheart. Green zebras did great. Tigrella is a nice red option - maybe our only red other than oxheart and kumato.

Also on the list: Broccoli/Cauliflower Romanesco, Long Island Cheese Pumpkin, Ground cherries, elderberry, Globe artichoke
