Well, I saved some seed but I'm addicted to tomatoes so I'm going to go ahead and place an order with Tomato fest here again pretty soon. Gary at Tomato fest has the best heirlooms and I just can't resist trying some new ones every year which causes my stockpile of tomato seeds to get bigger and bigger. Other than that, I've got everything else I need for our garden though I'm sure I'll see something at Baker or Seed Savers that I absolutely have to have before spring comes.
I ordered TEN varieties from them... Wow what a selection!
Lets see off the top of my head:
Amana
Brandywine
Brads black heart
Black Cherry
Sprite
Tiny tim
Ida
Snow white
long keeper
Heintz determinate paste
They sent me a gift of Dagma's perfection..
It must have taken me 20 hours to narrow it down to so few varieties...
I am trying to cut back on my plants this year, but looking at the catalogs makes it awfully difficult! I mostly buy plants, though, in the spring from the flea market nearby. I have already fixed up a spot for tomatoes and am thinking of plowing up a patch for okra.

ON
The Dagma's are really wonderful. If you like Pastes be sure to try Mom's paste at some point. So many pastes are meaty but basically blah for flavor but not Mom's.
I'm I'm Coahoma (Big Spring) its been so so so dry! Praying for moisture!
Yip we were up that way last month. Usually that area gets more rain then we do. We got so much rain last year I had to open the overflow valve in my koi pond. At least my electric bill was okay, did not have to water as much.
We broke up the ground today for the main garden, and I got the rest of our salad greens planted in one of the raised beds. The other raised bed is prepped and ready, just about (I am going to add some more compost, I think) & I'll be getting spring onions planted there most likely by tomorrow (I know, I'm late, so sue me hehehe). We're fencing off the herb beds (because the girls pretty much destroyed what WAS there), and we're planting fernleaf dill, sweet basil, peppermint, green sage, and cilantro pretty soon. All my favorite yummy things to cook with!
