See the checkbox for making your wishlist public? That allows you to share it with your friends, family, spouse for gift suggestions, or gardening club. You can change it from public to private at any time, so you don’t have to decide now.
Share your wishlist
When you make your list public, this is what the shareable link looks like. Copy the link and share it through email or social media with everyone you want to see it. Your wishlist looks like this inside.
Updating your wishlist
Adjusting the contents of your wishlist is also simple – clicking the “x” on each photo removes that item from your list. This way you can add variations of something you are interested in and go back later to review and choose which one looks best for your garden, then delete the ones you don’t need.
Items stay in your wishlist until you remove them – they won’t disappear!
When you are ready to buy – go to your wishlist and click on the item, then add it to your cart and finish your shopping the usual way.
Wishlist menu
Your wishlist overview looks like this – showing you how many items are in it, whether it can be shared, and buttons to edit, share or delete the wishlist. For example, you could delete the Christmas Wishlist and create a Spring Garden one for next season!
That is all there is to it – pretty simple and easy to use. Now you don’t have to worry about writing that unique tomato down that you want to show your neighbor or friend for growing next season – just add it to the Wishlist and bring it back up when you get together.
Heirloom tomato leaves have two main different and distinct types of leaves – potato leaf and regular leaf. Plants with regular tomato leaves are what we are all familiar with; multi-lobed, serrated and sometimes almost toothed branching off of the stem. Potato leaved plants have broader, smoother single leaves branching off of the stem, missing the multiple lobes and serrations.
Regular Leaf Tomatoes
These are by far the most common and well-known type of tomato leaves – they are what we think of when we think of “tomato plants”. The shape and color of the leaves can vary – from slightly serrated to extremely and from a light pale green to a deep dark green and almost a bluish leaf. The width and length of the leaf can vary a lot as well from small narrow leaves which almost always curl to long and wide leaves that droop.
Potato Leaf Tomatoes
As mentioned above, these leaves are almost always much bigger and smoother on the edges than regular leaves, with more heft. They look much more like potato leaves than tomato leaves, thus the name. Potato leaves tend to give more shade to a plant than regular leaves, due to the larger area that the leaves have and more shade from each leaf.
Examples of potato leaf tomatoes are:
There doesn’t seem to be much difference in growing the two different types of tomato leaves; one is not more productive, flavorful or pest and disease resistant than the other, or tolerant of heat or cold. They just have different leaves.
One thing of note is that as far as we can tell, all potato-leaved varieties are heirloom or older varieties. We haven’t been able to find a hybrid that is potato-leaved.
Have some fun in your garden this season and try one (or more) of these unusual but delicious heirloom tomatoes!
