Actually, that is sort of the semi plan. We don't actually HAVE a community garden around here (or to be honest anywhere to put one, most of the houses in my area have my sort of space issues). But when I get some personal matters taken care of and have the freedom and ability to do so, I am looking into going to a local place that DOES sort of do the kind of stuff I do and might be willing to work with me, which would also have the bonus of giving me the labor I need for some of the larger projects, the kind best done with BIG fields and equipment I don't have and cant afford (like full sized greenhouses with internal heating)
You think that's bad, there's a blackish tomato of German origin called Indishe Fleish (literally, Indian's Flesh). Sounds like a tomato for cannibals (not to be confused with a Cannibal's Tomato, which is a different species of Solanum) and racist ones at that.
Not that I'm much better at names. A while back I stumbled on a pair of white tomatoes in one of those heirloom mixes really fancy supermarkets and farmers markets sell. I made a point of saving them as they were the sweetest tomatoes I ever tasted; sweet enough that they really HAD crossed the line between vegetable and fruit, these could ONLY be used as dessert (it's the only time I ever found a tomato that the flavor of vinegar or salad dressing destroyed) And when I tried to make up a name for it (not knowing what it actually was, with its near transparency and visible internal veins, the only name I could come up with was......Peeled Eyeball.
And of course there is my semi serious breeding plan with regards to creating a black peach tomato (a black tomato with a fuzzy skin) Since I feel that there are already too many fuzzy tomatoes with peach in their names, should I ever get it to work, I plan to honor my cat with it and call it.....Cassia's Hairball!

You can stop now!
