Stonysoilseeds-
I'm growing Orange Banana for the first time this year and I noticed it on your returning lineup. Did you find it good for fresh use? I had heard it makes a fantastic dried tomato, which is mainly why I'm trying it this year. kath |

Kath,
what spacing do you normally use between your plants? I was thinking of trying one bed with close spacing and single stem pruning just to see how it works for me. ginny |

Wow! Reading this thread has been great. However, with all the heavyweight tomato growers here growing such exotic and so many varieties I feel like sitting at the back of the room.
Anyhow, I have 72 plants and 16 varieties growing in raised beds, straw bales, and 13 and 27 gallon black plastic nursery pots. I use cattle panels and concrete reinforcing mesh for support. I alternate feeding MG Tomato liquid and Medina Hasta Grow for Plants weekly. Occasionally I mix 1 TBS Epsom salt per gal H2O and apply to the plants. I sowed seeds 12/17/2011, 12/22/2011 and 2/2/2012. A couple days ago I sowed 3 Granny's Heart seeds. Well I thought it was three. When I just went to check for germination two were already pushing up in the foam plugs but no sign of the seed in the third plug. I gently opened the plug from the top down only to find no seed. I checked the spot where I used tweezers to insert the seeds into the plugs and there was the third seed high and dry in the bottom of the tray under my light setup. It must have dropped off the tweezers either before or after I inserted them in the plug. Here is my meager list: 2012 Tomatoes Black Krim Black Zebra Brandy Sweet Plum Chappy X/L Red (An offspring of Chapman from Bill Jeffers) Eva Purple Ball (new) Indian Stripe JD's Special C-Tex Last years Volunteer Cherry Mountain Glory F1 Muriel F1 Principle Borghese (new) Purple Russian Rambling Red Stripe F1 San Marzano Gigante 3 Tasti-Lee F1 (new) Tomato Country Taste F1 (only purchased plants in the garden) (new) Granny's Heart (new) |

Here is a list of my seedlings. I submitted an application for a community garden plot, so if I am accepted I will be able to plant everything on my list. Otherwise, I will have a lot of extra tomato plants.

Wow, all of your lists sure make what I have started look puny! So far this year I have started 4 of each of the following:
Amish Paste San Marzano Roma VFN Super Beefsteak Dolly Parton I got these seeds from SASE Winter Sown and a whole lot more too. The one thats new to me is the Dolly Parton. Its supposed to be a large red globe type. Has anyone here grown it before, and do you like it? Seems like I always grow a lot of the paste type tomatoes for canning. I can a lot. I'm always looking for a good paste tomato. Any suggestions for something new for my garden? |

Ahhh, it's nice to be amoung your own kind...
Everyone here belongs at the front of the room! It is dangerous to look at all these lists though. I had said I was not going to add any new wants for next year, then I started to look at what other people were growing... It's like when the Cabela's catalog comes... So much stuff you never knew you needed until you saw it. |

Thanks for the feedback, especially about the wispy foliage- my notes just said RL- now I won't be surprised.

Maybe you can bribe the coordinator with your list and the promise of a cut of the fruit.

There is no normal for me as I'm really new at this and keep changing things each year. I usually see how many plants make it to the plant out stage and then figure out how close I have to plant them to make them fit. The closest planting so far for me has been two plants tied to a single stake with the stakes 2' apart. I tried to keep them pruned to a single stem but some of the sprouts managed to hide from me, flowered and were allowed to remain on the plant. I've read that others here will plant 12" or 14" apart and prune to a single stem. Production suffers, but my goal is to try fruits from a lot of varieties in a short amount of time, so it works for me now.
