RE: Gardening 2001

I don't know where you live, but I live in Idaho, and have grown several of 
your varieties of tomato and pepper. Some are said to do well in the 
eastern U.S., but they don't do much in the West.  Pruden's Purple is one 
of the most underrated tomatoes in existence, in my NSHO. Druzba is a great 
tomato, great flavor and appearance, and is produced abundantly.  Also 
abundant is Opalka, a fine tomato.  Bonny Best is a reliable old tomato, 
previously called John Baer.  You could toss out your Roma seeds and not 
miss a thing.  Same with your Apple pepper.  If you want a good crisp sweet 
apple-flavored pepper for salads, grow Aconcagua.  Have fun, Margaret L
