Happy Spring growers! all of the snow has finally melted off my garden here and in one week I will be sowing tomato seeds.
I've grown tomatoes for years but this will be the first time growing giants. This season's goal for me is to grow a 5lb tomato and create some of my own GIANT tomato crosses so I have my own seeds going forward.
Here's the final list of tomato seeds I will be growing depending on germination, and some of these will be grown more for pollination then size.
A big THANK YOU to Jim Sherwood and Christopher MacDonald, I reached out to 12 different tomato growers and only even heard back from three of them...lol Jim and Christopher were kind enough to share some of their seeds with me and it is very much appreciated! Thanks again guys

I will also be growing Contessa, Marbonne, Moskvich and my own high anthocyanin cross I've been working on for eating tomatoes.
I'll grow long gourds again this year, last season I had my PB of 131" and looking forward to trying to beat that this season.
I will be starting the following long gourd seeds in a couple of days:
154 Gfeller
136.37 Gfeller
148.5 Gfeller - this seed grew my PB last season sadly mine had no viable seeds.
Thanks to Mr. Gfeller for the seeds!
whew long post...lol I will update this with pics as progress rolls along for anyone interested.
I hope everyone has a great season and grows a new personal best!
Cheers
