So far this month I’ve only decided on one vegetable to plant. Tomato! I also may need to rethink the garden layout since I’ll be planting about 6 different varieties of tomatoes! Yes, I got a little crazy with my seeds this year and I have many from previous orders. This summer the pressure canner will be working overtime. Instead of picking up seeds at the local store or co-op, I decided to go a different route and find some tomato varieties that I’d not grown before. Browsing the internet also provides me with some ideas on which seeds to seek out. Over at InternetArchive.org, I stumbled upon a collection of old seed catalogs. It’s interesting to see what people were planting over 100 years ago in the southern United States and what vegetables were popular.

By chance, if you are a tomato lover too, then check out Tomato Fest by visiting the links below.  There is no extra cost to you and if you do make a purchase it does help support this website.

The tomato varieties that I plan on growing this year are Ponderosa Pink, Orange Banana, Striped Stuffer, Black from Tula, ILDI, 1884, Charlie Chaplin, Opalka, St. Ivy, and if you live in a hot humid location like me you probably have these tomatoes on had to plant too!

I can’t wait for my new order of tomato seeds to arrive. I even found a variety of the Stone Tomatoes that is in the 1904 catalog. Ok, it may not be the exact variety, but I do love my tomatoes!
