Seed Ideas for Tomatoes

Tomatoes are a good provider of choices in the garden. Not only do they differ by type, they also offer choices in color and whether they grow in a bush or pole format. I also love the color-coded seed blends that are offered by some companies. I think High Mowing Seeds does a great job sorting the seeds by type.
