We are actually eating the last of the grape tomatoes picked green more than a month ago. We’ve kept these in paper bags stored in our garage. Tomatoes will turn red stored in bags.

The Baker Seed catalog sure has some good stuff. We’ll make out an order by Jan 1.

In Western NY, we have 5 1/2 inches of frozen, white pollution on the ground right now.
Boy, how I miss the taste of a fresh home grown tomato right now; this years drought really did us in in the NorthEast.
Have you ever tried to carry over a couple of tomato plants from the previous year by bringing them indoors, for over wintering ?

I’ll be ordering seeds in January. Mostly lettuces, basil, cilantro, squash, peppers and cherry tomatoes. In late April or May I’ll order transplants of heirloom tomatoes. I think I’ll be getting Brandywine and Big Rainbow this year.
