You are right - can’t leave out all of those other colors of tomatoes!

Yes and please don't. I have seeds to a number of different
varieties i’d be happy to send out pro bono if anyone is
interested.

It has really been raining here. Real gullywashers. The potatoes I planted in the trenches are getting really big. Yesterday afternoon was the first afternoon this week without nearby thunderstorms so I got out the hoe and mounded dirt on the potatoes and filled in the area either side of the mounds with pine needles to prevent the rain from washing the dirt away. I will have my first harvest today, turnip greens to go with the ribs that I am slow smoking on the grill.

I have been interestedin heirloom tomatoes. Do I need to be careful to grow only one variety to prevent cross-pollination from producing hybrid seeds for the next year?

Happy Independence Day to all FReepers and gardeners!
