Default Hot weather tomatoes & bell peppers ?

There is a variety called "Heat Wave". We have had some pretty good success
with that one during the hot months over the last couple of years. Last
year, I couldn't find any in the nurserys I checked but a couple volunteers
grew up in our yard where the dogs had munched on stolen tomatoes the year
before. A transplanted volunteer did very well. Anyway, I bought a couple
little Heat Waves this year from Red Barn.

Red Barn is on Pond Springs Road just north of where it intersects with
Spicewood Springs, near the Spicewood Springs / 183 intersection. Perhaps
there is another location; don't know.

Thanks, Karen.

I did write it down, I gust lost the paper :-)
(Someday I'm going to find a really easy to use PC program
that lets me enter random text, JPGs, etc. & easily
find them later.)

BTW, where is the "Red Barn"?
Is that the one out N. Mopak, towards RR?
(I'm between Austin & Lampasas.)

Thanks,
Gene

@dfw-read.news.verio.net:
Of the varieties of tomato & bell pepper plants at
Home Depot, Lowe's or WallyMart - which varieties will keep
producing in the "HEAT" of the summer? We had
a couple of tomatoes last year that produced "all"
summer - but I can't remember what they we-(


Write it down next time. (I do the same thing--I finally started
keeping a gardening journal, but it's very sporadic.)

I thought that any indeterminate tomato would keep producing all
summer. The one plant that I had that kept producing through the
first few freezes was called Porter, I think. I bought it at Red
Barn.
