Started a bunch of Lemon Boy hybrid and some various filial generations and OP variations of which today.
Lemon Boy is a terrific tomato here on our farm and one of the few hybrids we are known for at market and which is requested by name from our customers.
Tomarrow I'll get into some campbells 1327, yellow and orange roma types, cherokee purple, brandywine, jubilee, rutgerus, and a massive cherry tomato mass cross experiment.
I've also got 95 or so Bush Celebrities growing in the new greenhouse and doing excellent.

I am really happy to see my tomatoes coming up strong. I always have this fear that I will have a crop failure. It hasn't happened yet, but I always worry. I've been starting about 100 plants a day and hope I have enough for all of the people who want them. I've been noticing a lot of people being really friendly to me all of a sudden. Ah, the price of tomato popularity.  LoreD |

Started some peppers and tomato seeds about three weeks ago - near 100% germination on all varieties! (with my luck, I was expecting 10%...) Planted 6 seeds of each, have already thinned them all to the best 2 or 3 seedlings - will transplant them into pots this week or next until we set them out in the garden the 1st or 2nd week of May.
The varieties we're trying this year are the following:
Peppers - Hungarian Spice, Jimmy Nardello's, Sweet Cherry and Peter Pepper
Tomatillos - Zuni and Mexicali - Native American Indian heirlooms - smaller and tastier than most tomatillos
Tomatos -
Prescott Heirloom
Lancaster Big Pink
Glamour
Pineapple Beefsteak
Hillbilly
Supersweet 100
Italian Oxheart
Delicious
Wisconsin 55 Gold (a repeat from last year, and a good 'un!)
Brandywine
Ponderosa Red (grew the yellow last year)
Big Rainbow
Omar of Lebanon
Watermelon Beefsteak
Giant Pink Belgium
Leathas Italian
Punta Bunda Heirloom (Native American Indian, cherry type)
Black Cherry
Texas Wild
May add some more to the list after the outcome of my heart cath in April, we'll see....

Well, I finally whittled the grow out list down to something I might almost be able to handle. The list started out with almost 300 on it, but I managed to grit my teeth, and get it down to almost manageable size. What didn't make it this year gets to be at the start of the carving list next year.

Given a half decent growing season, these will all be available for trading/sharing this fall, along with the 2007 seedlist. The 2006 seedlist will stay open as long as there is seed available for it, but when they are gone, they won't be replaced any time soon, so if there is anything on that list you want, get 'em now!
While you are saving seeds this summer, remember that we would like to get seeds from any variety in quantity (from 100 seeds to about a teaspoon full) for the seedbank. If it is a variety that we already have seedbanked, the seeds won't be used for trading, but will be spread around where they will do some good (Robin, Trudi, Tom, Alan, or some others that are trying to help feed people). They will definitely not be wasted.
We have the first 300 varieties in the seedbank already, and the next 100 are conditioning in the fridge, prior to going in the freezer.
Now the fun really starts! As usual, no matter how many jobs I got out of the way over the winter (and I actually did get some of them done this year), there are always going to be enough left to do that I won't feel like I'm going to get any of them done. Damn! If I was having any more fun, it would be illegal.
Cheers
Dan
