Ella, as usual I love your pictures and descriptions of all your lovely tomatoes! My tomato picking season is done. I have a few tomatoes for a few more BLT's, and a small pail of tomatoes to make some fresh sauce. It was a great year for maters for us both!

Ginny, it would be despairing not to see more beautiful pictures and new recipes from you. I hope you will continue your thread. I am looking forward seeing some more seasonal cooking ideas with mouthwatering displays.

October 17 we have prediction of 36 degrees at night. ):
I am letting all the green tomatoes to stay on the vine for now.
Claude Brown’s Y. Giant has 3 huge fruits and some medium size as well. NOT Carbon is still producing as well (more than 26 pounds are picked from single plant so far).
Girl Girl's Weird Thing and JD's Special C-Tex each have few nice size tomatoes.
I am picking tomatoes with just a blush.
Hoping for a few more weeks without freeze.

Ella, my Claude Browns is just cranking up. It was a small seedling, but it is taking off nicely in the Earthbox in just the last 3 days.
GGWT was the second to the last in my garden that was still producing. What a tomato that plant is. I am growing it agin.
I am growing one of almost all the varieties you sent me. So wonderful to have good tomato friends to trade with.

You're such a tease

Sweet, balanced, tart..?
I saw the mass wave of positive contributions from people that grew it this year so there must be something to it......

Balanced on the sweet side, and scrumptious!

efisakov · October 14, 2015

Zenbaas, it is definitely worth growing. The other one I would recommend is Blackberry. Sweet heaven. Taste like candy, sweet and bit of acidity too. Not bland at all.

Yes, I am growing BR. My seeds came from you!

O boy, predictions are getting worse and worse. Now we are expecting as low as 34 degrees. I am not happy at all. It is toooo... soon.
It is fine to get first freeze in November, mid October is just not

ginger2778 · October 15, 2015

Sorry to hear that Ella. I have stuff blooming, and the opposite thing is going on, overnight low was 79, 9 degrees hotter than it should be, and 9 degrees hotter than fruit is likely to set in. Aaannnddd- of course I have blossoms on some now.
