2012 SEED LISTS
I ’ve researched and update the seed tilt for this year . I created a legendwith abbreviations for each seed / nursery and then put them at the end of each seed listed . I also show which tomatoes Amy Goldman ’s ‘ The Heirloom Tomato ’ book recommends which I employ as my ‘ tomato bible’!I’ve put this in my page section called ‘ Seed Lists ’ at the top of the blog for late reference .
