Podcast mentioning Orange Jazz and other miscellaneous tomato babbling.

That is weird Fred. The first order i used paypal but it never showed up on the payment list....(rarely use paypal)...did not check right away, then realized it did not go through, then re-ordered.

Lets hold off and wait a few days this week to see if the first order shows up? No rush here, just confusing a bit. I'll pm here or on your Artisan site after mail delivery tuesday.

[Fred Hempel]

Sounds good. You can email me at fred@growartisan.com to let me know how it works out and what you want to do.

[oakley]

Cool, thanks

What a beautiful package of seeds from Fred. Into their nice damp home tonight.

[JosephineRose]

Yes, the founding five deal hooked me. Just ordered.

I'm seeing the Jazz tomato selling out. Must be great!

[oakley]

Nice seeds. Day 4-80%, day 5-95%, day 6-all are up....one last baby just showing curl.
My last tray of prime with a row of GGWT. All look great!

I posted on FB but I'll comment here as well. Green Tiger and Maglia Rosa have 100% germination and quite fast - 3-4 days. I'm now mad at myself for not starting Orange Caprese and Orange Jazz. I might still try as some varieties have not germinated well, and if in the next day or so, look like it's not happening, then I think I still have time.
I'm excited for MR. GT I grew last year and it was incredible as was LT.
Thanks Fred!

If you are worried about time, Orange Caprese produces relatively quickly, and Orange Jazz is always one of our first beefsteaks to produce.

I have been harvesting seeds from our winter breeding site this week, and one of the biggest surprises were some very early bush beefsteaks (orange fruits). Unfortunately, those are at least a couple of years away from release.

Now that is just teasing us Fred.

Got my package yesterday. Thank you. Will sow the pepper seeds today.

I have every tomato Fred ever released except Green Tiger.

I'm growing several Jazz and O Jazz now and I think they like the Root Pouches better than the Earthboxes.

Fred, I decided to start Orange Caprese and Captain Lucky yesterday. I forgot to check some Sun Gold seeds and they sprouted out about 5 inches, so I tossed them and took your advice and took the plunge. I'm going to monitor this batch much more carefully this time. Can't wait. My only concern here is Captain Lucky and its DTM in my climate.

10 OJ in the ground, and although I never plant 10 of a new to me variety I just have a gut feeling these will be winners. Fred what is the average height of OJ?

[Cole_Robbie]

Van, mine got the same size as my other indeterminates. They should be big plants.

[BigVanVader]

Thanks Cole, I figured but wanted to confirm, BTW did OJ sell well for you and/or get good comments from customers?

[SharonRossy]

Orange Caprese and Captain Lucky growing very well. Just waiting for the first true leaves which will be woo judging from how quickly they germinated. Next year is OJ!
