What is making a return to your garden in 2016? - Page 5

maverick451 · September 4, 2015

Ive grew about 2 dozen varieties this year and next year will probably just grow

Sungold- best cherry for me
Shirley - very productive all round tomato
Black Krim - excellent for slicing and frying
Crimson Crush- new blight resistant variety, also had excellent taste

Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Yes!

What's Hot: Big Beef again.

What's Not: Charger, a huge producer with both plants +20lbs, but a tad mealy and somewhat bland.

Tormato · September 4, 2015

I just tried my first Bulgarian Triumph, as it was one of the last varieties to be transplanted. It'll be back.

Deborah · September 4, 2015

As always, Red Robin. This year I'm going to try them year 'round.

lexusnexus · September 4, 2015

At least Crnkovic Gold (great flavor for an orange tomato), Cherokee Purple ('nuf said), and Neves Azorean Red (good producer of beefsteak type with great flavor). I will probably also include Opalka because of they are prolific and wonderful paste types. Maria, my partner, wants to try something like a San Marzano. I may do both. Unsure about Brandywine Sudduths because of their disappointing production, though they have great taste. Am thinking of planting some Sun Gold in addition to Grape for cherry types.

Deborah · September 4, 2015

Tormato, LOL.

jmsieglaff · September 7, 2015

For sure in 2016: Sungold, Black Krim, Experiment Yellow PL Cherry, Carbon Copy, Cherokee Purple, dwarf Vince's Haze

Likely in 2016: Wisconsin 55, Eva Purple Ball x Big Beef, dwarf Jeremy's Stripe

venturabananas · September 7, 2015

I can only fit 8-10 plants next year, so hard choices have to made! This was the first year in which I really enjoyed the flavor of every tomato I grew, though some much more than others. Now my decisions about which come back have more to do with consistent production (especially earlier) and ease of care (e.g., not dwarfs because their dense foliage makes them more prone to foliage disease the way I grow them).

Returning in 2016 for sure:
Indian Stripe (consistent production and great flavor)
Azoychka (consistent production, good flavor, great color)
Malachite Box (consistent production and great flavor)
Jaune Flamme (consistent production, good flavor, great color)

Not invited back for 2016:
Brandywine Sudduth (wonderful flavor, terrible production)
Aunt Ruby's German Green (great flavor, terrible production)
Kellogg's Breakfast (beautiful, but terrible production, and sort of bland flavor)
Stupice (early and productive, but small fruit that are only average in flavor)
Dwarf Wild Fred (great taste, good production, but very prone to foliage disease due to dwarf growth habit)
New Big Dwarf (very good taste, good production, but very prone to foliage disease due to dwarf growth habit)
Cuostralee (great flavor, OK production -- too late)
Mariana's Peace (great flavor, OK production -- too late)
Magnum Beefsteak (very good flavor, perfectly formed fruits, OK production -- mostly late)

RwhideSmith · September 7, 2015

I will be planting Cherokee Purple and Pink Brandywine again.

New varieties 1. German Johnson
2. Cowlick's Brandywine
3. Brandywine Glick's

as well as three or four others as yet to be determined. About 60 plants.

SharonRossy · September 7, 2015
