This all sounds great. Now I wish I had even MORE room for tomatoes except that is just crazy. I already have a ton of tomato plants this year. I used to cook some down and freeze the sauce but I just might freeze some whole tomatoes this year.

I buy my plants from a local nursery that has a very good selection of tomatoes including lots and lots of heirlooms. I am sure they would not be selling fake or imposter Sun Golds. Or any other imposters lol!

I buy my plants from a small family owned local nursery too, and they have a massive selection of all veggies. I can't believe how many different tomatoes there are now! If I had 5 acres I'd try them all, except for the ones I've sworn off of. I'm sure you'll like the Sun Gold tomatoes. I like how colorful they are!

Now if my daylilies would bloom, life would be good! I've only had flowers on the ditch lilies and a few Stella's, and I can't stand this waiting! Oh, and my first seedlings have a few scapes, and I'm beyond excited about those!

I don't have much luck with tomatoes for some reason, but next year I might try a couple grown in the bag method. Your plants are awesome and I don't even eat tomatoes much.

Oh, I have lots of favorite roses. But generally I prefer Floribundas for their massive amount of blooms. I do not care much for Austin Roses, only have a few. Other Austins I did try I got rid of. On line I love Heirloom Roses and I have bought many, many of the roses hybridized by John Clements of Heirloom Roses.

My favorite rose is one I was able to find in a local nursery, LAVAGLUT.
