I'm confused: has "Baker Creek" changed its name to "Rare Seeds"? I hope not. It will sound like too many other companies. I love them either way and am currently eating my way through a crop of their Euro Mesclun.  By the way, have you changed your mind about tomatoes yet?

Hi phoebe,
Not bad! Just the URL is Rareseeds. (Edited the link, sorry for the confusion.)
I assume you're referring to the previous thread
What's Growing in Your Garden This Year? ...
Have I changed my mind about tomatoes? That's kind of a difficult question. I've decided the only variety I know for certain that is absolutely amazing is the Cherokee Purple. Keep in mind that even within the same varieties, growing conditions even from yard to yard can affect the flavor. I've found that the third tomato from the vine is usually the best flavored. Other than that, tomatoes in general are not something I crave but home grown and minutes from the vine is definitely the only way to go - the same goes for peas, corn, and brussel sprouts, especially corn.
If you're into greens, you should definitely consider growing
mache.
