[QUOTE=jillian;652581]Very pretty! What is your best producer this year? Best tasting?[/QUOTE]
Thanks Jillian! So far, GGWT and Terhune are the stars: GGWT 1: 12 lbs (fruit now set- 16) GGWT 2: 10.6 lbs (fruit now set- 8) Terhune: 14.5 lbs. (fruit now set- 12) DLH 1: 4.5 lbs (but there are 46 tomatoes set on the plant!) DLH 2: 3.6 lbs (fruit now set: 15) |
Thanks, somehow I left GGWT out this year but it will be on grow list for next, along with Terhune. :yes:
|
It is super productive, GGWT! And a great sweet flavor, with beautiful colors! I will post some cut pictures for you :)

The plants are still thriving in this 93 degree heat, and the first sets of fruit are ripe and off the plants. I think I will cut these back some, do some foliage treatments, and hope for a resurgence when the temperature drops low enough to allow pollination. I will start with a shot of phosphorus, which should promote flowering and fruit set into August and September.
I have had some losses: three to TSWV (Rebel Yell, Olive Hill, GGWT) and a later one to TSWV (Sgt. Peppers). Right now I have some Septoria on all of the plants, but have good growth at all stems. |

1st ripe fruit- Neves Azorean Red, 14 oz.
I am very impressed by this plant's resistance thus far, and has a very neat and tidy RL pattern that does not get too "bushy". Excellent cultivar! |
WOW very nice

The whole place and food looks great. Worth[/QUOTE] Thanks Worth! It had such an interesting history via Carolyn, Mr. Neves, and the remote Azores Islands, that I had to grow it. It was also based on your recommendations as a must-grow that I planted one out this year. Great cultivar!! |

And NAR was probably from Portugal since many there moved to the Azores. [url]http://tatianastomatobase.com/wiki/Neves_Azorean_Red[/url] Carolyn |
