Nice photos! Thank-you for sharing them with us.

You are welcome, Jim. I really need to make the time to update page,
especially since I've grown far more varieties than on shown on the page.
Obviously, I'm one of the heirloom tomato fans!

I so carefully saved seeds last year, especially many from what was
apparently a cross-pollination from the year before that was outstanding.
They were all in plastic containers on my covered patio which is mostly
sheltered from storms regarding blowing stuff around. Well, it wasn't
when we had a freak storm that not only blew the containers off the table
but also uncovered them and spread the seeds to the wind only knows where!
There wasn't a trace of a seed anywhere.

Another lesson learned.

I've thought about that one plant last year that was so outstanding that
is now lost forever. All I had to do was taken the containers inside to
the enclosed portion of the patio and it wouldn't have happened. I guess
we learn best by our most painfully learned lessons, especially when we
know we should have known better and done differently in the first place.

I always enjoying going to people's pages showing their gardens, etc.
It's so cool.
