Aussie 2007 Season - Page 12

Grub · September 15, 2007

I grew Reisentraube last season and thought it was okay. I also grew a yellow version of Reisentraube and thought it was okay as well.

I grew Black Cherry last year and thought it was excellent, though not as prolific as you might expect a cherry to be.

Grub, yes please to the Rose Quartz Multiflora. No rush though as I'm loaded for this year.
Jaune Flammée is, as many of you know, my favourite tomato. Great fresh and even better dried. I'm looking forward to all the others.

Grub · September 15, 2007

Ray,

Would you be able to PM your addy... I finally sent a pile of seeds out... so sometimes I'm late with that but they always go in the end. I have oodles of seeds saved.

Will report on Peruvian Bush as well.

Spatzbear · September 16, 2007

Ray, have you grown Lady Godiva before? I am trying some Austriain Hulless Pumpkin this year.

Favourite red cherry? Amish Salad!

Black Cherry is our favourite black cherry tomato.

Planted the remaider of my BrandywinexCollege Challenger f2's in the outside beds in bottomless pots. Also a Brandywine RL, so a cross, but what with I have no idea. Also an Earls Faux in an Earls hole

Will have to cover them as frosts expected tonight

Grub · September 17, 2007

Good work Manto.

I'm all transplanted bar two seedlings. Then a few eggies and peppers and we're in the home straight.

mcsee · September 17, 2007

Mantis,
I've just checked the Weather Observations for here and would you believe it we had frosts (2c) on several occasions in October 2006, so will have to be observant when I plant mine out.

You had -1.4c on 9 Oct 2006 so assume a frost with it, so cold mornings ahead perhaps.

Raymondo · September 17, 2007

Spatz, a friend grew Lady Godiva last year. It was very prolific. He ended up with 20 or so pumpkins. They're not small either so his back porch was wall to wall Lady Godivas. Flesh is passable but there's an abundance of seeds in each one. Unfortunately he left the pumpkins on his back porch through some very heavy frosts. They all rotted!

I have Amish Salad in this year though only one seed germinated out of 15 or so. The lone plant looks okay so far. Riesentraube also has very poor germination with only one out of 15.

Grub · September 17, 2007

I know this is off topic, but can Ray or McSee give me the addy for the ausgarden tomato forum page... there is all this enscription stuff on the top of my homepage and I can't click through... there must be a direct addy?

Ta. Resume your good work...

mcsee · September 17, 2007

For Grub - http://ausgarden.com/smf/index.php

I'm happy to report germination of seedling #6 of Jeff's - Casey's Pure Yellow. I now have one plant for each of my 6 new tubs.

Grub · September 17, 2007

Thanks...

Okay, okay, not tomatoes but they inhabit the same general space... for now.

First Lipstick, a compact sweet pepper or capsicum that I overwintered:

Prized Pink Tung Long eggplant:

Thai Yellow Egg eggplant:

Radish Alley... till the soil is tilled and the tomatoes go in here as well:

Looking good Grub
Mcsee, we have heaps of frosts in spring lately. More than in winter. Had some -6 doozies that have killed plants with buckets over them. Has been milder this year so hoping that protecting them is a bit easier. Might mean that you get the frosts down your way this year instead of us. Go figure
I hope we all have a mild spring. Frosts are a pain in the ###

tessa · September 17, 2007

we're still having typical winter weather over this way.
no spring in sight.
thank goodness for the greenhouse.

Spatzbear · September 17, 2007

Ray, thanks for the info on Lady Godiva. I will see how my Austrian hulless goes. If it does not produce well, I'll look into getting Godiva.
I can send you some Amish Salad seeds, if you'd like to sow more!

Grub, that looks really good. Overwintering seems to work very well in your garden. Getting the first produce off them is just amazing!

Our weather is a very mixed bag at the moment. Very springy to hot today, tomorrow cold, showery and wintery. Frosts are still very likely until the end of next month. No planting out here, that's for sure!

cosmicgardener · September 17, 2007

Here is some of my production at 6 weeks from seed. Spatz : note Anna Russian is now behaving well.
