"It was a horrible year for the garden. Two freak late frosts, persistent cold nights, and continuing dampness caused real problems. A horrible fungus attacked all my pepper plants, turning them completely black and causing them to wilt to nothing. This was my first year with the Godfather plants. Determined to not lose our investment, my husband stripped the plants completely, leaving just the main stem. Lo and behold, the Godfathers came back with a vengeance, producing huge bushes and inundating..." more

"Jolly is the best small tomato ever! In our harsh northern Nevada climate, it performs unbelievably well and is delicious when picked and eaten right off the plant. One year, I grew Jolly in a half-barrel. It kept right on going to nine feet tall. I had to keep adding height to the support cage. This is one beautiful tomato, and I highly recommend it to everyone! It deserves a prominent place on the website."

Previously I only guessed at the amount of sun in different locations of my yard and have been disapointed with poor plant performance because I work 6 days a week and don't get to see what parts of the yard get what amount of sun during the day as the sun moves around the trees' shade.
