Thanks for the answer Bob :) I have 5 supersweet 100's and a few
Celebrity and Better Boy tomato plants going for the summer already, I
am keeping a list of the many great suggestions I get here for either
the fall garden or maybe next spring. I hadn't noticed Sungold in the
local area, will they take the heat well? Around here it gets so hot in
the summer that the only things that produce are ones such as heatwave
so heat tolerance is a real problem. Somewhere about late June or early
July I'll be pulling the old plants and setting out a few Heatwaves for
the fall crop, this is my first year with a non-container garden so I'm
all ears as far as suggestions go.

So far I'm pleased considering my lack of experience. Tomatoes are a
foot high and branching, cucumbers look happy and even my green peppers
have taken to the transplant. Now the question is if they'll fruit or
just be a pretty green patch in my yard ;)
