I'm not a beefsteak fan myself. Sure they're big but not a lot of flavor to me. For slicing tomatoes I Love Old Germaine, Mr. Stripey, Early girl, Cherokee purple, Brandy Boy, and Black Krim. Quite a few others as well but those are off the top of my headI've been doing beefsteak Tomatoes, I'm looking to try something different that maybe bears more.
What's your guys recommendations, doesn't have to be as big, but definitely has to be a good eating tomato
I've been trying to get the Black Krim, but migardener has been out of stock. I think I'm going to try the Kellogg's breakfast, Hillbilly, and Rutgers. Anyone ever try these?I'm not a beefsteak fan myself. Sure they're big but not a lot of flavor to me.

Oh the irony.
Had first couple asparagus spears for a wonderful raw snack a little while before taking a whiz behind the barn.
Couldn't help but smell that asparagus pee smell at the same time I notice that I'm whizzing on numbers of volunteer asparagus in the weeds.
Labor of love the garden is. Have fun !Yesterday put four sacks of concrete in the bottoms of two opposite facing triangular terraced planters made from landscape timbers. Today adding the vertical columns for side trellises and overhead arbor (and of course May Bell platform on top). After that comes the swinging gate. All together making an entrance into the bambi thwarting flower garden for the better 2/3's. Put in most of the fence posts last year along with one rectangular and the two triangular timber planters. Put up the lateral stringers and rabbit wire last week. Final plan is various box and glazed planters, stepping stones, stone paths, the trellises, bird bath, wind chimes, bird seed and hummer feeders. And yes, a solar powered fountain.
To the lumber yard!
Yup. Same here... which is just down the road.Asparagus is up, peas are a few inches, chives and spearmint also.
I have several varieties in the same tray and the germination rate can differ so I wait till most of the tray has germinated before I remove the dome. If I have a lot of condensation on the inside of the dome after germination I do carefully lift it off and drain it. I usually just drain it back into the tray.Another question for the seed starters among us.
When do you remove the dome on the seed starters? After the first real leaves or after the very first set of leaves?
This is Tomatoes and jalapenos
