i want to recommend some varieties to grow as they worked so well for me. mrs. maxwells tomato, available from the internet. it is a potato leaf tomato, big, early and the best flavor ever. very reliable. for winter squash, cant get any better than pink banana. go to kitazawa seeds on the internet and get lucky dance cucumber seed and armenian cucumber seed, not the striped one. their is nothing better anywheres than these two. if you live at a high elevation and dry climate as i do, do grow everbearing strawberries, they give you good folage but hrdly any berries. grow a good june bearing one in a climate like mine. if you want a consistant producing bell pepper, big bertha. big bertha doesnt drop it flowers as most other bell peppers do at first. i had two average size cattle water tanks filled with compost and fish fertilizer and got 350 big bell peppers to freeze with big bertha. for summer squash get the vining italian trombone kind. they are firm, taste very good and grill very well. just some tasty tips ive learned over the years. ive also got five small apple trees growing in a big pot on a window sill, from seed last fall.i will plant them in a good spot with black plastic under a old tire with a small hole in the black plastic. if you have trouble growing trees as the high and dry elvations like mine is try, sunburst locus. they are a sure thing, look good and you cant kill them. ponderosa pine and black hill spruce are a sure thing up high and dry also. stay away for any kind of cedar, they kill apple trees.
