Tomato CRAZY!!!!

I need an intervention! Someone, please help! I cannot stop adding tomato plants to our garden. I think I am absolutely missing the part of my brain that says enough is enough, when it comes to tomato varieties. This year, I am trying many heirloom tomatoes including the Old German and Box Car Willie. I could not pass up growing Tigerella, a red and orange stripped tomato, Cherokee Purple, or Pineapple tomatoes (a tropical-tasting pink and yellow variety). I didn't even know they exsisted before this year, so of course, I need to check this out. I can't help but think of the phrase curiosity killed the cat. But, in this case, I'm pretty sure curiosity is going to bury us in tomatoes!

Last year, we grew Sweet 100s, a red cherry tomato. They were so fun to pick and eat that I made sure we had some this year. All season, I have been in mad pursuit of Sungold tomatoes. We bought a pint, of these sweet, orange lil' ones, at the farmers' market last year. The person selling them gave us a sample and told the kids that they were "candy tomatoes". We all thought they were tasty and finished the pint that weekend. I knew we had to have them in our backyard, but I had not been able to find them aannywhere! Today, we were at Whole Foods, of course stopping at their vegetable plants outside, and Emma shouted, "MOM! SUN TOMATOES!!!" She spotted them!!! Then she looked around at the others, and said, "Here's a big boy." Gotcha! That girl can read. For some reason, it is her biggest secret, something that she hides. Not today! Not when tomato crazy is spilling over. It must be contagious!

So, I think that is going to be our last tomato addition to our gardens. I'm out of room. I wonder if there is a support group for this kind of thing.
