Perry takes inventory

Until now, we've just planted and nurtured tomato seeds, carefully labeling which are which, but without regard to how many we have. Our "eyeball estimates" have led us to think we have 150-175 tomatoes of 35-40 varieties. Well, today Perry did an inventory of the tomatoes, in part to get a more concrete idea of what we've got, and in part to make a determination of what tomatoes we should put in the ground "early" (i.e., this week). It would also be helpful to know how many of what tomato colors and sizes we'll have.

Here's the result. As of today, we have 375 plants representing 58 varieties. And colors? We will have red, orange, yellow, black, green, and all combinations. Perhaps we should think about showing up at Farmers' Markets and selling tomato plants, or, later in the season, tomatoes.
