I’ve probably mentioned this before, but if you ever want the compact plant size of a determinate, but the never-ending harvest of an indeterminate, try Punta Banda. It’s one of the varieties Jackie Clay sells, and I think they’re outstanding! The fruits are in between a small slicer and a large cherry, but the stem pulls free so they’re easy to juice whole. The plant stays short and bushy, so you don’t even need to cage it. And it produces so much that it often looks like a pile of colored golf balls instead of a plant.

I think you HAVE told me about that variety in Real Life! Help me to remember to get seeds for that one next season.

I was just happy to get my 20 tomatoes IN - nice sunny-ish day for them, today. Peppers going in probably on Sunday.

Boy, has my ATTITUDE ever improved with 48 hours of dry weather! :)

Ellendra,
