Re: sungold tomatoes

Even here in the Deep Southeast                                              
              where everyone grows tomatoes if nothing else, Sungold is a 
winner. I've grown it for several years in my informal trials with great 
success. No pests to speak of, not prone to blights, performed well with 
minimal irrigation during serious drought. Do let fruit go orange - they are 
sweeter than any other if you will wait that extra day or so. My original 
source was a wholesaler who lets me try seeds and report back, but I see 
them in Kitchen Garden, which also has 'Robustini' Peppers (pepperoncini) 
and 'Bambino' eggplant. I recommend both very highly - if I can grow them 
here, you can grow them anywhere since both only take about two months of 
hot weather from transplant to delicious maturity. If you are serious about 
hot peppers, if Habeneros and Scotch bonnets are your favorites, don't miss 
'Caribbean Red Chile Peppers' in KG also.
Ah, veggy talk.
