My wife and I rent plots from the local community garden, and wow, what an incredibly expensive experience it was the first year, as the salesman saw us coming, and loaded us on things we had no need of in the slightest, while poopooing the critical supplies we really did need.

We had a great time last season, green beans and snap peas that were bright and delicious, a bounty of tomatoes that overwhelmed us at times, and a group of seniors who very much enjoyed the bounties of the harvest, with each plot sparing what they could.

The catalog farmers were there - and let me tell you, some of those heirloom cherry tomatoes, the yellows and the teardrops, they are incredibly delicious.

While not an heirloom, the Sun Gold Tomato is phenomenal on taste and production.
