Odoriko tomatoes is a wonderful taste. I'm sure what I have is no longer true Odoriko since we've been saving seeds and planting it for about 3 years now, but they still come out about the right size and have the taste we desire so we continue to grow them each year. They are our tried and true for fresh maters. On the way home tonight I will stop by OSH and see what tomato seeds they have from Renee's Garden - since her website lists Sungold and I didn't plant those last year - I really miss my little golden candy.
My cabbage seedlings in the ground are fairing MUCH better than the seedlings in the big pot. Obviously "room" is not an issue, so the ground must be providing something that the pot isn't. I'll transplant my leftover seedlings to the real garden and see how it goes. May do the same for my brussel sprouts, since they are seriously stunted.
On the other hand, my garlic, she is happy happy happy! I can't recall all the places I've planted a garlic bulb in the backyard and then forgotten, sometimes they grow and sometimes they don't. And sometimes they grow MONTHS after planting, and I only know it's them by tasting a leaf. I love snacking off my backyard.
I have the opportunity to grow out a tomato that is considered "rare" and am quite excited. I should receive seeds soon and will care for them lovingly {I will love him and I will pet him and I will call him George} I can't wait to see how they look and especially how they taste! I have read online that they are quite delicious, even if not typically grown in my area (or even my state!)
