So around February I should remind you to plant your tomato seeds? It's so rewarding to start from seed. Do you remember where you got your seeds for the Dwarf ones? I got mine from a new vendor, I think it was Heirloom Tomatoes. Small company. Personal note with the seeds.
I used to grow my melons vertical and just sling the melons but since we have the room I just grow them sprawled now. One variety we got last year that was really good (hybrid) was Maverick. All the rest we do are heirloom, fancy pancy ones!
