I wasn't able to start my plants from seed this year (due to a health issue). I will surely miss those gorgeous heirlooms in August and September. I'm going to have to rely on the local greenhouse. They will have Rutgers at least.

Oh, I love Arkansas Traveler! One is just the right size for one serving and mine were still getting fruit way into fall last year.

Good growing!
