I just could not resist posting this picture. This is my collection of harvested tomatoes and (gulp) a few Habanero peppers thrown in.

These were harvested from Sunday morning to this morning (Tuesday) for the most part the older tomatoes are to the back of each row. The ripe ones in the back get canned today!

From left to right Roma, Marion, Early Girl, (gulp)Habanero peppers, and wonderful pink Arkensas Travelers.

In the center is a very ripe Marion Tomato sitting on an 8 ounce container of sour cream (to show size) - man these guys are prolific and very tasty. Nice slicers!

Very nice. I hate you. That is all. :)

Now you’ve REALLY inspired me to learn how to post photos from my own garden here.

The gauntlet has been thrown DOWN, LOL!

Beautiful maters and plants. Red. Even if I could post pics, all you’d be able to see of my garden is weeds.

Maybe I should do a weed id book and use my garden for the examples. Hmmm.....

WOW! RED,

Great looking garden and yields.

I am aware of the Varieties of Marion and Arkansas Traveler,
or just Traveler as it was originally released as.
AT and Marion are both great for hear tolerance.

There are a few others varieties that are not coming to
my mind right now.

Feel free to post a topic question over at Tomatoville.
Many folks there will be happy to respond with their
knowledge and experience.

The one thing to remember, over at tomatoville, is that we
must lay off politics over there. The owner had to toss
a few liberal regulars a few years past. They could not
keep from turning threads into opportunities to bash Bush.

It's a Tomato centric website and politics is verboten.

For the heirloom Marion tomatoes, do you buy seeds or do you collect seeds from tomatoes to plant next year? I am researching the seed collection process and am planning on trying many heirloom varieties (if I can get them to grow here).
