Green Zebra's have a nice amount of acid, as do some of the other

black types.


I had Black Krim last year, but they didn't produce much for me. Good
tomato though.

I like Green Zebra and Blondkopfchen because they hold up well against
encroaching winter, when other tomatoes have started to turn to mush.
Then there are the Brandywines and the German Striped for slicing, the
Stupice to get the season started, and the Yellow Pear, because it
always volunteers:O)

It's winter, and time to plan. Spring is just a couple of months away,
so I got pencil and paper, and I'm figuring out my crop rotation and
what's gonna' go where.

Got me a T5, k5000 bay light this year. I'll start germinating seeds in
Feb. Come May, I should have nearly mature plants to put in the ground.
I'll put down clear plastic strips on either side of the row crops to
warm the ground some (I'm on the north side of a hill), but I want to
leave space around the plants for hand watering (It's therapeutic.).


Yeah.... I am in the process of moving and need to figure out all
of these things--being both gardens of edible things and trees.
Etc. Fun, fun!
