baskets of them every three to four days!(FAIR)
FLORESSENT
This varriety came to me a coupple of years ago when I ordered red
beefstake from a mail order
catalouge (who will remaine nameless for their sake) I grew the plants
in the greenhouse and sold
the plants to my customers. Later that year and all the next year I
recived complaints about the
tomatoes not riping and staying an orange color (some pepole even left
the tomatoes out untill
they rotted exspecting them to riped) so I called the company but they
did not help much, so I
planted the tomatoe my self the next year (left over seed) and sure
enoughf bright orange! (not
the pale orange you usally see I'm talking floresent!) So now I sell it
as a novilty tomato under
the beefstake name unsure of what I really got. (looks great sliced on
hamburges. Tastse just
like a regular beefstake. 75 days (limited)
HILLBILLY POTATO LEAF-(heirloom)

varrieties I grew in the
garden this year this is the one the animals liked best!It seamed they
where eating them faster
then I could pick them and left the other tomatoes with only a bite or
two. So if the racoons and
squirles like them they can't taste to bad. 80 + days (limited)

Trees

A soft wood tree that will grow rather quickly and become a large
specimen tree if desired, will
last for years if properly maintained ( we have a tree in are front
lawn that is well over 200
years old!) Great shade trees and nice fall color but is quick to lose
its leaves and late to get
them back in the spring.(good)
** Manitoba maple **
Very fast growing soft wood tree resembling a maple a bit in its leaf
pattern, will grow in a
variety of sites and in poor soils, good for wind breaks with poplars
until main trees fill in.
Attractive when young can become a bit messy when older because of its
maple keys and tendency to
drop twigs and sticks like a willow. Can grow quite large up to 60 feet
in about 30 years. (good)
