WINDROSE TOMATO LIST - 2007

 Our seeding dates run from December 25th to April 15th, with plants for sale from February 20th through mid-June. We may also include a set in late July for fall planting. This includes early, middle and late plantings and a second crop of cherry tomatoes and replant of saladette and early varieties that retain their flavor in the colder nights.

 We appreciate suggestions and special orders as long as we have plenty of time for sourcing seed. We will be offering more basils, peppers and eggplants. Also available will be summer and winter squash, melons in addition to our regular herbs, flowers and greens.

 We are available for talks and workshops at your nursery or garden club. We are holding a sale at the farm Sunday afternoon the 23d of April.

 ***STARS MARK THE NEW VARIETIES FOR THE SEASON.

We will be trialing others and offering them as the season begins.

  

THE REDS

The cornerstone of the tomato garden! Now we can chose early, middle or late; saladette, round slicer or beefsteak. We can also do an all heirloom garden with plenty of wonderful varieties. Just remember that your best real tomato flavor will always have some acidity to balance the sugars.
