To my knowledge, I’ve never seen a fingerling potato, just pictures.

They're in the grocery store..just in small packages that cost a lot more than regular potatoes.

In my Walmart, they're usually by the tiny plastic boxes of baby reds (also pricey)

“Darn, I have to figure out on Burpee site again which tomatoes I was going to get - want an early maturing one, a medium maturing and a later maturing one, so I can try to keep some tomatoes always ready to eat - getting indeterminate ones, no determinate ones. They also have some that are container tomatoes so was getting some of those that fit in the early, medium, late producers.

MomwithHope took pity on me and is sending me some Sabre tomato seed and it's a late maturing one that does well with cold. Mom also fell and had to go to doctor and had bruised ribs so been saying prayers for her to feel better fast. When you fall, actually all your muscles tense up and then they all hurt. That's a time for pain pills or alcohol to get the muscles to relax.

One time, a car ran a stop sign and hit the side of the car I was in. My door wouldn't open due to the hit and I had to get out the other side of the car. By the time I got back to the hotel, everything hurt and I got in a tub of hot water to get muscles to relax. Didn't have pain pills or alcohol.

Well, I make this sound like I'm talking about a lot of tomato plants, but I'm not. I figure two/three early and two/three middle and two/three late will do it since they are all indeterminate and hopefully will keep producing. Maybe that will work and maybe it won't. At least I know how to grow them now so I won't screw them up as I have done before.

Next spring, everything I plant will just be perfect. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
