Oh this is great you guys. I will have to read the others to select all the tomatoes I'd like to taste (all of them... it is my favorite of all favorite food!).
Thanks for putting it together in such an easy read. Amee, wow you created all the graphics for each strand too? I don't know enough about illustrator or photoshop and company... it would take me for ever. Nice work!
I planted some seeds the other d ay, I have no idea what kind of tomato they were from. The only thing I know is that they came from tomoatoes my dad had grown last year, and that he had gotten the seeds from Pascal Poot the guy who grows 400 different types with his no water technique!
I don't remember if I had told yo about him before, but there's the link to his shop... or just google his name. What he is doing is quite incredible!
ok, Thanks again!
Thanks! We are glad you enjoyed the read. Yes, these tomato illustrations were a labour of love. I spent around 40 hours illustrating these 31 tomatoes and then even more time designed informational posters about them. Visitors to the greenhouse actually requested copies of the posters because they enjoyed them so much which is quite the compliment. The greenhouse owner ended up putting a 0df on the website for people to download.
I just looked into Pascal Poot and, you're right, he really is doing amazing work. His tomatoes definitely look superior in their nutrient value. We're book marking his site and we will be ordering seeds when the house is complete and we are back to gardening again.
You'll have to let us know how your tomatoes grow this season. As always, so nice to hear from you! -Aimee
Oh my 40 hours!! I knew it looked like a lot of work... the people have to know these things take time sometimes, a little reminder you know, to put things into perceptive! Impressive work if you ask me.
This is excellent news that people are requesting copies, it must make you feel very proud. I believe for Pascal Poot, you will need someone to speak French to order the seeds, not sure though last time I checked the next pages after the welcoming page, found in different languages, the rest is in French, but that should be easy to find up north right?
If it's a problem feel free to contact me and somehow we can work it out over the phone or some sort of talking device. I will let all of steemit know about it for sure but you guys and @sagescrub are on top of the list!
Cheers
Thanks for the heads up and the offer! My sister-in-law speaks French but if we run into any trouble I will definitely contact you. :D

Yep no worries, it would be my pleasure!
