Vilina – Det. tomato, to 2 oz Red Round 60-70 days
Guido – Indet. tomato, 2 pound +, Red Oblate
(They gave me “Joe’s Portguese” tomato also, but a friend thought it would be neat to grow them, so I gave him the seeds.)

Phaseolus vulgaris:

Climbing Pinto
Columbia Pinto
Cortez Pinto

Pisum Santivum – Peas

Non-Plus Ultra (4 different sources)
NE Plus Ultra – only one bag

I will be comparing the Non-Plus Ultra with the NE Plus Ultra and check for any differences.  NE Plus ultra was featured in the BBC television show (now on DVD) “The Victorian Kitchen Garden.”

Check blog for postings later in season, photos will be included.
