2009 mater list - Page 3

DUMMY1 · January 11, 2009

Hi Addict,
I was checking your list for 09 and I see St. Fiacre cherry. My childern gave me a large statue of St. Fiacre and I thought it would be neat if I could give them some St. Fiarce tomatoes this summer. Is this available for sale somewhere? or did you develope it yourself? Thanks for any information -- Jack

duajones · January 12, 2009

Green Giant was the first to germinate this year, I hope its a sign of things to come for this fantastic variety

newatthiskat · January 12, 2009

Good going! Have to let us know how it turns out. Take lots of pics.

Mojo · January 14, 2009

I wish I could plant 30 or more varieties. Actually, I could, but Mrs. Mojo would shoot me because she doesn't care for tomatoes (gasp!!!) and I need room for zukes and cukes and peppers and eggplant.

This year I'm actually going to (try to) limit myself to ten plants. I'm having friends start most of my seeds, but I'm going to try starting my own on the side, and those will be Gulf State Market (2-3). There will be 2-3 Black Krims (mmm) and 2-3 Persimmons (did super-well for me last time I had them). I may be able to beg/borrow/scam a Gregori's Altai and a Sungold from aforesaid friends, and if JohnnyRock is paying attention, I'd love to swap some GSM for Wapsipinsicon Peach if you got 'em. So that's.... 12? Dang, I'm already over!

jcmorse33 · January 14, 2009

My pink variety grow out / taste test:
Brandywine (Suddeth's)
Stump of the World
Earl's Faux
Ed's Millenium
Royal Hillbilly
Farmer's Market Mystery Pink* (was called "West Virginia Centennial" by the grower)

Other large fruited indeterminates:
Spudakee
KBX

Cherry:
Sweet baby Girl

+ 8 Dwarf project plants

Leaving me with 2 open slots which I have tenatively assigned to Red Brandywine and Aunt Gertie's Gold.

Of course if I abandon my resolution to give my in ground indeterminates 2 feet between plants and go back to the 18 inch spacing I had last year I could squeeze in an additional 3 plants... hmmm...

duajones · January 14, 2009

Everything is up except Summertime Improved and Goose Creek. I resowed GS this morning after soaking the seeds overnight. Chapman was the last to germinate, had soaked seeds ready in case it didnt but it came up this morning. In my short experience at starting from seed, most of mine are usually up within 3-5 days.

Moonglow · January 14, 2009

This is all very exciting! On a 70-cell tray, almost half already came up. In 3 days. I intend to keep/grow two (2) plants each and give away the rest.

I am so inspired by this I started a window-sill Jiffy Greenhouse in MY OFFICE.

PLEASE POST YOUR PHOTOS. I saw Worth's seedlings last night, and I was daydreaming of tomato seedlings all day.

vermiit · January 14, 2009

barkeater · January 15, 2009

Yes, dreaming up tomato lists are most fun when the weather is at its worst. It just broke 20 below the past hour going to minus 25-30.

My list is just the essentials right now, as it looks like I am getting promoted and will be working in Champlain, NY, starting in a couple months. I plan on keeping my place here, and coming home every weekend, a 2 hour trek each way.

My biggest concern is how to be able to raise my own transplants. I may be transporting them back and forth with me for 2 months

.

But, no matter what, I will be growing at a minimum:

Bloody Butcher (2)
Moskvich (2)
Brandywine
Ramapo F1 (2)
Momotaro F1 (2)
Black Cherry

I hope to be also growing:

Black Giant
Winsall
Aunt Ginnys Purple
Pale Perfect Purple
Box Car Willie
Goliath F1
Old Brooks
Early Wonder (pink)
Aunt Gerties Gold
Cherokee Purple

And 2 more that I can't think of right now

.

2009 Tomato Varieties

Lillian’s Red Kansas Paste (Not a true paste – juicy and delicious)

Marlowe Charleston (Ky Heirloom – 1-3 lbs. Early, large and one of the best tasting of 2008)

Dr. Neal (Heavy crops of 1-2 lb rose-pink beefsteaks. Solid fruit with few seeds, sweet yet complex tomato flavor)

Cherokee Purple (Some years are better than others, but CP is a must grow in my garden. Introduced by Craig LeHoullier of Raleigh NC. Dusky purplish fruits with outstanding smoky flavor)

Cherokee Chocolate – (A mutation of Cherokee Purple. Very similar. Fun to grow for comparison)

Dr. Lyle (Mid-season 1-2 lb pink beefsteaks. Regular leaf, large plant and yield. A keeper!)

Pink Ponderosa (Firm, meaty low acid pink beefsteaks, up to 2 lbs. Long time favorite)

Dora (8-12 oz beefsteak. A stable, deliberate cross of Cherokee Purple and Brandywine (Sudduth) by Keith Mueller of MO)

Chalk’s Early Jewel (Extra early, 4oz red tomato. Praised in the 1920 Burpee catalog)

Anna Russian (Mid-season 10-16 oz heart shaped fruits. Knock out flavor!)

Polish (Eckert) – (Great tasting, productive 1 lb dark pink beefsteaks)

Lithuanian (Late season potato leaf 1-2 lb pink beefsteaks. Delicious flavor)

Large Pink Bulgarian (Late mid-season RL 1-3 lb beefsteaks with excellent taste, a bit on the sweet side)

Gary O’ Senna – (Deep pink, almost purplish fruit with great taste!)

Taxi – (Very early bright yellow 4-7 oz fruits. Too mild for my taste, but first ripening non-cherry variety and would be good market tomato to capitalize on that early tomato-craving crowd!)

Mortgage Lifter (Old time variety still worth growing today. Very productive for a large tomato and one of my favorites!)

Sioux (Heirloom variety released in 1944 by the University of Nebraska. Round red, perfect fruits that look like a regular tomato. But the taste! Wow! Rich tomato old-fashioned flavor you remember from childhood. If I could only grow one tomato, this is it! Productive and another great market tomato!)

Yellow Brandywine (Platfoot strain) – (Deep, rich delicious flavor in deep yellow-golden 1-2 lb beefsteak tomatoes. Not sweet, not acidic, just right! I love this one and it is another must grow every year for me)

Aunt Gerties Gold (Very similar to Yellow Brandywine, sometimes more productive depending on the year. 1st place winner at the 2005 Cincinatti Heirloom Open-Pollinated Tomato Associate Growers (CHOPTAG) taste-fest!)

Azoychka (Beautiful smooth lemon yellow small beefsteak. Sweet and matures early. Another introduction by my friend Craig Le Houllier)

Brandywine OTV (Early, potato leaf red beefsteak. 1-2 lbs. A cross between Yellow Brandywine and unknown parent. Very productive and great taste!)

The following tomatoes were obtained in 2009 from Blue Ribbon Tomatoes who was recommended by my tomato buddy Gary Millwood from Louisville Ky. I have not grown these and have approximately 20 seeds for each variety.

Calf’s Heart (Mid-season Ky heirloom. 1 lb pink heart shaped deep red flesh)

Kentucky Plate (Large pink beefsteak. Ky heirloom variety)

Kentucky Yellow Beefsteak (8-12 oz fruity tart taste. Golden yellow Ky Heirloom)

Barnes Mountain Yellow (Deep golden 1-3lb Ky heirloom beefsteak. Very prolific)

Amish Oxheart (Meaty flesh. 12-16 oz Ky heirloom)

Buckeye Yellow (Ky/Ohio heirloom – 1-2 lb pale yellow. Meaty and mild)

Frank’s Large Red (Salty sweet 1 lb Ky heirloom. Seeds found in attic at Frank’s grandma’s house if my memory serves correctly)

Kentucky Striped (Large orange/red/yellow swirled Ky heirloom beefsteak)

Lennie and Gracie’s Kentucky Heirloom (Large, mild yellow ruffled fruit – Gotta love the name!)

Monk (Mild, red and juicy – 12-16 oz)

Orange Heart (Super productive, medium round orange salad type tomatoes)

Viva (Creamy white with yellow tint and pink blush. ½ lb Ky heirloom)

Cherry and smaller fruited varieties:

Pink Ping Pong (Exactly as the name suggests. Very sweet and great in salads)

Jaune Flamme (Yellow, ping pong sized fruits borne on large trellises. Pick all the ripe fruit in the summer, turn your back and another 2 dozen ripen, I swear! So productive it is tiring to pick them all!)

Black Cherry (Introduced by the late Vince Sapp from Tomato Growers Supply, this is a delicious dark purple fruit – great for snacking)

Sun Gold (hybrid) – (A very popular super sweet variety that convert even most folks who don’t like tomatoes. Too sweet for my taste, but kids especially love snacking from the garden)

Matt’s Wild Cherry – (Volumes of marble-sized fruits born in clusters. Tart flavor early and sweeter late in the season. Vigorous, indeterminate vines.)

The following will be grown to replenish seed (Received in 2009 from Dr. Carolyn Male, author of 100 Heirloom Tomatoes for the American Garden)

Indiana Red
Tennesee Britches
Anna Maria’s Heart
Chapman
Linnie’s Oxheart
Orange Minsk

I know there will be a few more, but this is the preliminary list as of right now!
