I love trying different things, obviously.  I'm growing 60 different
varieties of open pollinated tomatoes this year, informally testing them
for yield and flavor.  I have about 100 different varieties of chiles, I
think.  Haven't actually counted them.  None of the chiles are hybrids
either.  If I were younger (and I haven't given up on the idea), I'd be
paying a lot of attention to Carol Deppe's "Breed Your Own Vegetable
Varieties."  Someone has been busy at this, there's a tomato called "black
brandywine" now available commercially.  Margaret
