I just found out about it from A C Snow's Sunday column in the N&O.
AC seemed pleased to have a variety of tomato named after him. *There
is a b/w photo of the tomato in his column also.


Craig, if you still follow Triangle.Gardens, will you have any plants
available at the State Farmers Market and about when will they be
available?


His first weekend was the weekend of the tornado.
Probably best to check his blog on his website, he does update
that as needed.


I got his last Mr. Snow Saturday gone a week ago along with a Boxcar
Willie tomato and a couple peppers. He may have more Mr. Snow but
that was the last he had with him that day. He is in the craft area
to the right of the seafood shack and not the regular area for plants
and produce.

He suggested peppers do better in buckets or large pots. I am nursing
one pepper in a bucket because a worm nipped out the center and I hope
I can get new shoots from the lower leaves. The only problem is
keeping them watered frequently enough in containers. I had picked up
some old but solid PT wood someone had discarded and made some raised
boxes ranging anywhere from 18x18 to 22x22 and am trying a few more
tomatoes and peppers in them as some in the ground for comparison. I
know last year my peppers took forever to bloom and fruit and finally
did quite well. I hope the raised peppers get warmer faster and
produce faster.
