Actually several. One is called German giant. They will produce 2.50 to 3 pound tomatoes. They are meaty with very few seeds with Great flavor. one called Flamingo which is one of the best tasting,1 t0 1.5 pounds or a little smaller. Omar's Lebanese these come from? you guessed it Lebanon, also great tasting. These are red/pink tomatoes.

Then I also started two yellow ones. Yellow Brandywine which taste better than the Pink Brandywine. Finally Dr. Wyche's which is a fantastic tasting large yellow that weighs 2 pounds plus.

Last official frost date is May 15th. I usually start sooner if I can get out into the garden. I plant almost all of my tomatoes in double 5 gallon buckets. That way I can put them out early. If there is a chance of frost I can bring them in.

Artichokes went in the ground today as well as Mammoth Jalapenos. Already have spinach and lettuce planted. Not going to matter much since if past years are any indication of my talents at this, the only veggies I will see are at HEB.
