Do you grow from seed?

The variety matters a great deal. There are so many great heirloom varieties.
I always grow early girl just because it is the first harvestable tomato but I also like Black Krim, Cherokee Purple, Pineapple, Yellow Oxheart and Mr. Stripey.

Fort, since you're in my state too, what do you think the 'major' announcement the govenor is making at 2 is going to be? Possibly a stay at home order or something?

I keep seeds from year to year in original packaging and if kept cool and dry, they don't lose a lot of viability.
There are a lot of sources of good heirloom seed varieties.

We just got issued a stay at home order. Not allowed to leave the state if we do it has to be a emergency. Then we have to quarantine for 14 days. Jail time no more than a year or $5000 fine if cought doing anything other than getting essential items, going to the hospital and things like that. Apperently people are not taking it seriously.

I know nothing about it I have no cable and I've seen nothing so you'll have to keep me updated what he says.
