A proposal for a Tomato Datasheet
As an aid to choosing which tomatoes to grow this year, I have mocked up an Excel datasheet containing abbreviated descriptions of the color, shape, size, season, growth type, parents, height, leaf type, yield, taste, origin and disease resistance of (so far) 500 varieties culled from reference books and web sites (including the lists above). So far it seems helpful, but I need your advice as to whether an expanded version would be of use to the gardening community.
If you have a copy of Microsoft Excel and would be willing to let me know your opinion on this beta-test version, please send me a Garden.org Tree-message with your email address and I will send you a copy of the Excel datasheet plus a Word file suggesting how to use it.
P.S. Paul, I very familiar with Tatiana's site which I agree has an astounding amount of useful information, but no easy way to correlate that info to find similar varieties.
