The harvest this week so far!
This weeks harvest!
I am trying some new-to-me varieties this year I have not grown before. Some success and some...learning experiences.
Some good one's for me this year that I will defiantly be planting again next year :
Lola F1 - This has been a good one for the greenhouse, containers, and raised beds. Large apple-like nearly perfect round fruit, good taste. Productive plants. A little thick skinned and seedy, but a good all around tomato.
Tiffen Mennonite - This one has been a pleasant surprise. A very meaty beefsteak like tomato. Few seeds, sweet with low acidity. Big plus - this was suppose to be an 80 day tomato, but it came in really early for me. I had ripe ones in mid July. Plants are not hugely productive, but better than many other beefsteak types. Good in containers and raised beds. Didn't like the greenhouse too much.
Moscovich - this is a Russian heirloom. Nice taste, earlier tomato. Relatively compact plants. Bright orange fruit with green shoulders. Nice tomato taste, a little seedy. Good in containers.
Suzanne Cherry F1 - Extremely productive. Good in containers, greenhouse, and ground. Nice large grape like clusters. Larger sized with relatively moderate number of seeds. Not super sweet, but good tomato taste. Crack resistant. Does not drop ripe fruit. A little thick skinned.
