The best tomatoes you'll ever eat.

One of the best ways to save money on organic vegetables is to grow them your self. Last year was my first attempt at growing anything. I discovered
Seeds Trust (www.seedstrust.com) a seed company that specializes in seeds for our high altitude and short growing season. They sell a collection of Soviet Union tomatoes which is 5 packets of different tomato seeds for $8.95. I used pots on the deck for my garden. I actually went to Home Depot and just bought a bunch of their 5 gallon buckets($2.95 ea.), drilled a few holes in the bottom and filled them with dirt. I kind of got a late start last year but was still able to harvest some wonderful tomatoes. Every bite was an explosion of sweet flavor! I chose Mountain Romas, Galina(a yellow cherry tomato) and Kotlas (red sweet 2oz tomato.) I also planted some basil and cilantro along with bell peppers. The herbs are still going strong but the peppers didn't have long enough to mature before the frost hit. For a small up-front investment you can have a bountiful harvest of organic amazing vegetables. Now is the time to get those seeds started so you can harvest before our short summer is over.
