"Anne Middleton/Harold Walker" professed: Harold...would you please include some attributes with your posts so that it is clear to whom you're responding? An attribute, in case you're not sure, is that little tag at the top of this message that tells anyone who is reading that I'm responding to you. I respectfully disagree with Harold Walker.????????? No problem at all with disagreements...we are all entitled to our opinions...and another comment to follow.......have you ever tried to grow heirlooms in the same spot year after year after year due to space limitations?.....HW Yes. At my old house I had exactly one spot that got enough sun for tomatoes and peppers. It was about 12 feet long and 3 feet wide. I grew heirloom and open pollinated tomatoes there for 14 years with no problems. At my new place I have lots and lots of sun, but The War of The Thrips is raging. Last summer, I lost most of my tomatoes by mid-July because thrip damage was followed by a succession of diseases. The two varieties that came through war still producing were Brandywine and Arkansas Traveler. The only bell peppers that survived, in case you're interested, were a Polish heirloom, Buran, Geeez, those are tough little pepper plants! They produced in the hottest part of the summer and in the cool, cool fall. (Seeds or plants are available at www.seedsavers.com) The many varieties of hot peppers kicked Thrip butt.
