For the past couple of years I have been blogging about the tomato and pepper varieties I’m growing for the year and every year I seem to grow a little more of them. Last year it was 22 tomato varieties and 12 pepper varieties. This year I’m also doing 22 tomato varieties but will be growing 13 pepper varieties. I will be putting 3 determinates in the greenhouse, 2 determinates in containers and 1 will go into a hanging basket which is a first for me. The rest will fill up one of my raised garden beds. The Sungold and black cherry are the only two I’ve grown before. The rest are new for me this year and mostly came from seed swaps.
