Celebrity I grew a couple years running in this decade, but I'm not using it any more. The fruits are a little smaller than I like (definitely not beefsteak size), and the flavor is pretty uninteresting. But this hybrid has good disease resistance and should be given a fair shake in listers' gardens if diseases have struck hard in prior years. Later today I'll post the list of all the tomatoes I planted yesterday. My ISP was broken for 24 hours and I've got 143 more messages to read first, though. --Janet (zone 7) ------------------------------------------------------------------ Janet Wintermute jwintermute@ids2.idsonline.com
