Today's Picks (pics)
My little garden is really putting out the big maters now. I just came back in after picking only the fully ripe ones. Here is what I picked from left to right, starting at the top.
Granny Cantrell's German Red x 3 Delicious Big Red x 2 Brandywine Sudduth's x 2 Golden Queen USDA Strain x 3 Polish C (first one, thanks Bigcheef) Mortgage Lifter Bi-Color The plants are looking good. The tallest indeterminate (GCGR) is about 9 feet tall now. The shortest (Berkeley Tie Dye) is right at 7'. The container plants are much smaller. No significant disease problems so far, just a little Early Blight on the lower portions of the plants. The main pest I am dealing with right now is stinkbugs. They seem to like the Clear Pink Early's so well, I am leaving them on the vine. They aren't messing with the other varieties much. mater |
