Had to look up the siletz variety, looks like they would be good on sandwiches.

I never heard of them until I saw a seed pack at an amish hardware store. Seem like they should be good slicing tomatoes

20 tomato plants, 6 broccoli plants and 6 hungarian wax peppers. The peppers were store bought, only 1 of the 12 seeds I tried for those even sprouted, but every tomato and broccoli are from the basement. The lettuce and arugula I was growing are just going into a pot on my patio and not the garden. Tomorrow I'll sow nasturtiums, marigolds, scarlet emperor pole beans and some mix of parsley/oregano/dill in the open areas. I'll finish filling/mixing the 2 beds at the end tomorrow too, then probably sow those seeds monday.
The tomatoes that made the cut are (from front to back):
5 beefsteak (2 of which were really nice seedlings, 3 are dwarfed from being in small containers for 2 months - just an experiment to see how they turn out)
3 brandywine
4 cherry
4 amana orange
2 roma
2 siletz
I planted 6 roma and 6 siletz initially, but only 2 of each made it. I was hoping to have more bush tomatoes, but looks like I only get 4 this year.
