Re[2]: home grown tomatoes

     
I would like to take this opportunity of plugging one of last season's tests.  
It is a tomato called Stupice.  I read that it was an early tomato, also 
developed for places like San Franciso, that may not have enough consecutive hot
days for tomatos to ripen well.

I live in zone 5/6, New England and start my seeds in March.  Both last year 
and, I see, this year the Stupice set buds under the lights (yes, I have two 
plants with buds already).  I set them out weeks ahead of the others last year, 
wrapped their cages in plastic and had fresh tomatos in June.

I should caution you that they are not very big and they are not my tastiest 
varieties but when our NE summer fizzled last year and I had tomatos sitting 
green for weeks waiting for heat the Stupice kept me in fresh tomatos.  They 
were also the last to come out in the fall.  I decided they were a worthy 
insurance policy and I'm growing them again this year.

tomatoes in April!!
