I was able to get away to a local garden center out in the exurbs, and, not surprisingly, this place was better stocked than anything nearer the city.
I was able to acquire three heirloom tomatoes: Pink Brandywine (known for it wine-like flavor and low yields), a Green Zebra (known for its beautiful coloring and zesty flavor), and a Yellow Pear (known for productivity and spicy, sweet flavor).
My heirloom seedlings are coming along better now that I have rigged up a florescent light (more later), but I wanted to stack the deck, so to speak, and ensure a bountiful tomato harvest with a few store-bought ringers.
Also in the haul:
Peppers: Tobasco, Jalapeno, and California.
Herbs: Sweet Basil, Genovese Basil, Cat Nip, Cilantro, Parsley, and Rosemary.
I'll try to plant everything early the week, after I've hardened off the tomatoes for a few days.
