I'd like to share that I grow my tomatoes in upside down containers, one store bought and the others I reverse engineered and made of 5 gallon buckets. I've never had any problems with fungus and such while doing so. My greatest problem is actually making sure they have enough water. Perhaps others might try this if they are having problems.

I've about given up on matos out here in AZ. It's too frustrating!

So has anyone given any thought over what varieties they are going to plant this year? I'm itchin' for spring time and have already made out my list of what tomatoes I'm going to try this.

If anyone is insterested in some free tomato seeds give this website a shot:
http://www.wintersown.org/wseo1/YourChoiceTomatoSASE.html

They give away 6 varieties for free and will give you more with a donation. Their selection is fantastic and ever-changing so you might want to check them out every week or so until you see all the varieties you'd like. Alot of their inventory comes from donations so if you ever have extra seeds of a good varitiety consider sending them some!

Out of their selection I've selected the following to grow this spring:
Aunt Ruby's Green German, Black & Red Boar, Black Cherry, Blondkopfchen, Chocolate Chery, Golden Cherokee, Green Zebra, Isis Candy, Paul Robeson and Sungold F1.

I see that the Burpee seed company has a new tomato variety this year ---- the world's very first completely seedless tomato variety. http://www.burpee.com/ - Millet (1,081-)

Good find Millet!

i personally do not see much use a seedless tomato is. it is not like they interfere with eating them like larder seeds of other plants do.

I would think a seedless tomato will be very popular with restaurants, and cooks around the world, let alone ketchup, and tomato paste manufactures. - Millet (1,080-)
