New Seeds!

Because we don't have enough plants yet ;-) I stopped at Home Depot tonight to see what kinds of seed selection they had. We didn't get very good germination on our Roma plants (Viva Italia to be more exact).

I was really happy to see that HD had more than the typical bland Burpee assortment.

I picked up a packet of San Marzano seeds. Our first heirloom variety. San Marzano is a paste type tomato that according to wikipedia "are considered by many chefs to be the best sauce tomatoes in the world."

I planted six seeds, a little stingy perhaps but I only really need a few more paste type plants so I didn't want to go overboard. Hopefully those will be sprouted by Sunday or so.
