My "Sun Golds" and my "Mortgage Lifter" have produced well so far.
I have taken loads of seeds from both.

There are a couple others that are not worth the ground they are on.
There is one that I am not sure what it is--but i KNOW that I took a broken off
top from a Lg. pot of a Tomato plant from Bonnies plants.
I think it was an heirloom--"Beefmaster" (??) or "Big Beef" (?).

Another one I rescued may be the mama of these pear-shaped ones.
Just had a cutting...no tag.
This Tomato plant is producing (very few..) pear-shaped small Tomatoes.
They are smoky colored--like a "Cherokee Purple".
Don't know what this one is. Haven't tasted it yet.

1--NOID Tomato (??)
2--Sun Golds--these are sweet as candy--just pop them in your mouth
as you walk by. Great one to grow! A Hybrid, though--and it "sported"
on me last year. I planted the seeds from the "sport" this spring --
and got the Sun Gold Cherries again. Go figure....

Cukes were total c--p...Nothing to even have for a salad. BAD!!!

The Romaine I tried to grow, early this spring, did OK--and then half
of them started having some kind of crown rot? The whole plant just
lifted off the ground with no roots. Later--I did harvest about 3--but
this will, definitely, be a one-time experiment. Been there--done that--

My 2 Green peppers have not produced anything either...

I don't think my yard is suited for vegetable gardening....so--why keep trying??
