Peaches n Cream :
variegated brugs tend to grow at a slower rate.
This one has been proving that for the last three years!

Black Plum
Surprise Potato Patch

Won't be much longer!
Won't be much longer!
The garden and the plants are running amock. This would include the weeds, that I really should be out pulling right now, but have been putting off this post for much too long! We have had so much rain in my area for the last four weeks. And enough sun, when it comes out, that it balances out nicely, and everything seems to have double in size in the last week while I was away!
There are many little tomatoes forming on the plants, the brugs are loading up with flower buds, and I've even found a surprise potato patch in the brug bed. I got confirmation from some other gardeners, that potatoes can indeed overwinter in my zone, given the right conditions. So some little taters that were not found last fall have sprouted up into a very healthy vigorous looking potato patch.

So glad I've found you! Just come back from a vacation in Quebec and wanted to identify a beefsteak tomato I bought in the old Market in Quebec City. I have just posted a picture. Can you help?
Hi. It's really hard to identify a tomato from a picture like that. There are so many thousands of varieties out there, it would be almost impossible. It would probably be one of the more common beefsteaks that the big commercial growers grow, probably a hybrid.
I did grow Cannabec Rose this summer (was given to me by a friend) and I think I saved a fair amount of seeds from it. It was one of my more productive plants, although the tomatoes weren't anything particularly special. Not like Black Cherry, or an unknown large orange, which were deemed pretty fantastic by the taste testers here.
