I envy your attention to detail (I think :>)

I planted a flat of tomatoes, 4 varieties in the same flat then a tub
with another variety.  Heinz, Brandywine, Pittman Valley Plum,
Arkansas Traveler and Marzano, these are sort of my old standbys.

I just thinned them, I planted the seeds real thick cause they are old
and seems like they all came up. I'll probably end up with 25 of each,
but select that down to 12 or so of each.

I haven't planted Heinz for 3 years. I've tried Rutgers and other
determinates. I like to plant some of them to get a big rush of fruit
for canning. I've decided that I liked the Heinz better than the
others I'd tried. Nice sized round tomatoes.

Peppers are just starting to sprout. Bev, you've got a lot of
different varieties, that's nice.
