Tomatoes

Finally, the tomatoes are starting to germinate. Seems like everyone enjoys a good beefsteak tomato. This year we are trying Burpee's SuperSteak Hybrid. Last year we grew Burpee's Porterhouse Tomatoes and they did ok and were a decent size. The one thing I didn't like about the Porterhouse tomatoes was they seemed to have a funny shape. It didn't seem like there were many seeds in each packet - perhaps 20 or maybe 30 seeds if you were lucky. We started 3 packs and are hopeful for a 90% + germination rate. Other varieties we started include Livingston Seed's Chocolate Tomato (cherry) and Gardener's Choice (cherry).
