Turns out that NONE of the tomato seeds I bought at Walmart that were supposed to be beefsteak actually are ... We got cherry tomatoes , and we like them , but that's not what I wanted to plant . The rest are a run-of-the-mill medium tomato , average about tennis ball to baseball size . And they're good , much better than store-bought . But they're not what I wanted ... so next year guess where I'm NOT going to buy seeds ? I need to find a local "seed bank" of local growers , I figure that's the best way to get plants that do well up here . And i have a bunch of seeds saved to swap . Plus , I've got volunteer bok choy growing in the garden now , and just yesterday I scattered some spimach and romaine seeds from the early crop this year . Now if we can nurse these tomatoes along a while longer we'll have some more nice salads .
