A big box of tomato and pepper plants, from my friend Jennifer! Her parents raise some 40 varieties of tomatoes and dozens of peppers each year, and had bunches of left over plants they told her to give away or get rid of. She left me:

Tomatoes:
Black Cherry
Red Lightning
Pear (no color indicated-2 plants)
Galena
Sungold
Sun Sugar
Mr. Stripey
Health Kick
Viva Italia
Beefy Boy
Napa Grape

Peppers:
Sprite (3)
Poblano (4)
Fen (3)
Golden Cal Won (1)
Habanero (1)
Goliath Griller (3)
Cayenne (3)

I truly don't know where I am going to put this many! Do you have any input on which are definitely keepers, and which I should find other homes for? I know DH wants the habanero (he grows them every year) and I definitely want the black cherry and the Viva Italia, but other than that, am not very familiar with most. I couldn't even find some of the tomatoes in the Plant Files, which surprised me, since it pulled up 94 pages of tomatoes! Anyone heard of Health Kick or Galena before? Also couldn't find Napa Grape or Sun Gold, though I know I've read lots of people commenting on Sun Gold, so maybe just didn't search hard enough.

Does anyone know which peppers are hot and which are sweet? I know habaneros, cayenne, and poblano are hot, but don't know on sprite, fen, goliath griller, and golden cal won. Need to go do some more PF searching. . .

Anyway, I am excited and hoping we don't have another full day of rain, so I can get some of these in the ground!

Wanted to celebrate with someone who would understand my excitement over a box of plants! LOL

edited to say I figured out Golden Cal Won are a yellow California Wonder sweet bell, but still can't find Sprite or Fen peppers anywhere. Check PF and searched every way I could think of on Google, no luck. Would love to know if they are hot or sweet before I bite one!
