Well what we will do is divide the list up in to two seasons which we can do down here. We do have the chain link fence to grow them on which will save space and giving us room to maximize our growing space. That said I will limit the number of plants per variety to two. As for canning that is something I want to do. I think in the long run this could save us money on our food bill.And if we get a good enough harvest I would send some off to the local food pantry.all they normally get for tomatoes is what stores donate. Would love to see them get real tomatoes with flavor. Also there is the option of freezing too ( Sauces ).Also want to put up salsa too.

Nice Kev!! I was wondering with all those Tomato plants even two plants , per kind, thats ALOT of maters!! It would be nice to can each kind and test taste them Yes freezing is alot easier than canning if you have the room. Must be nice to be in that warm weather for two growing seasons! |

I eat tomatoes every day but that's way too many for me.  If you decide to get involved in a trade I'd like to try a few too. |

I believe 'The Great Seed Swap' usually takes place around the 1st of the year. I'm getting my seeds ready. |

Oh man! I can't believe what I did. After reading this post earlier I went outside and sorted my seeds. Johnny drove up while I was out there, I got distracted, he said let's hurry and get ready and drive into town. I just realized that I threw everything, including my seeds into the trash. No tomatoes for me this year. What a dummy.  |

Best, Let us know what you are looking for. We can still send seeds your way. I hate to see someone go a year wishing they could plant a garden, and not have the seeds. |

I went through the trash today but didn't salvage anything. What a mess. Thanks Compost Pharmer but I bet I can figure something out without dipping into your stash. Where there's a will there's a way. Love you for the offer though. |
