[SuSE Linux] [off topic] On the virtues of a well kept garden
I always devote half of my garden to tomatoes, and this year I planted Celebrity (which I plant every year) and Burpee tomatoes. Celebrities are medium sized and quite similar to the tomatoes that you would find at the store. I started getting tomatoes off these plants in early August. My Burpee plant showed no signs of producing fruit, yet grew to an astonishing 6 feet tall. I thought perhaps I had a sterile plant and all it's energy was being put into going to vine. I just started getting ripe fruits from this plant this week. They are the size of both of your fists held together, nearly seedless, perfect red meat, and exceptionally flavorful. This is the best sandwhich tomato I have ever grown, and from now on I will probably grow them exclusively, but I will plant them early in the future. Just a recommendation for the gardeners on the list :) -- .###. /#######\## -==============================================- ;##### ;# Mike's WindowMaker ;##### ;# <A HREF="http://tasteslikechicken.ml.org/windowmaker.html"><A HREF="http://tasteslikechicken.ml.org/windowmaker.html</A">http://tasteslikechicken.ml.org/windowmaker.html</A</A>> \# /## -==============================================- ###'---'#### - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e
Which variety of tomatoe was that... or was that a variety named after the seed company? On 10-Sep-98 Michael Lankton wrote:

It (Burpee) is a variety, I guess named after a seed co. It hadn't dawned on me that Burpee was also a brand name. Darren Benham wrote:

I like Roma tomatoes. Great for salsa and sauces in general. I'm not much of a tomato-on-my-sandwich eater :) But I'll keep those in mind when I plant next year! Mark --- Michael Lankton wrote:
