Happy Spring growers! all of the snow has finally melted off my garden here and in one week I will be sowing tomato seeds.
I've grown tomatoes for years but this will be the first time growing giants. This season's goal for me is to grow a 5lb tomato and create some of my own GIANT tomato crosses so I have my own seeds going forward.
Here's the final list of tomato seeds I will be growing depending on germination, and some of these will be grown more for pollination then size.
A big THANK YOU to Jim Sherwood and Christopher MacDonald for sharing some of their seeds with me and it is very much appreciated! Thanks again guys
9.44 Yohe x 5
8.74 Sherwood x 7
8.56 Macdonald x 3
8.52 Macdonald x 3
8.42 Macdonald x 3
8.39 Young x 3
8.18 Young x 4
8.10 Macdonald x 2
7.72 Macdonald x 2

7.09 Yohe x 3

I will also be growing Contessa, Marbonne, Moskvich and my own high anthocyanin cross I've been working on for eating tomatoes.
I'll grow long gourds again this year, last season I had my PB of 131" and looking forward to trying to beat that this season.
I will be starting the following long gourd seeds in a couple of days:
154 Gfeller
136.37 Gfeller
148.5 Gfeller - this seed grew my PB last season sadly mine had no viable seeds.
Thanks to Mr. Gfeller for the seeds!
whew long post...lol I will update this with pics as progress rolls along for anyone interested.
I hope everyone has a great season and grows a new personal best!
Cheers
