wanted: tomato/pepper varieties...have: 600 vegetable varieties
Comments (8)October17, The pole beans would be all of the greasy beans, any runner or half runner. There are also several that have pole in their name, making those pretty easy to spot. Bean, Big & Early White Greasy Bean, Blue Coco Bean, Brown Striped Greasy Bean, Brown Tobacco Worm Bean, Haricot Dolique Bean, Ideal Market Bean, Lazy Housewife Pole Bean, Maxibel Bean, Missouri Brown Bean, Mountaineer Half Runner Bean, Pencil Pod Bean, Rattlesnake Pole Bean, Riggins Stick Bean, Small White Greasy Bean, Spartan Runner Bean, Sunset Runner Bean, White Half Runner I think that is about all of the pole beans. What varieties of tomatoes do you have available? I looked at your trade list, but it doesnt have any tomatoes listed as being available....See MoreHas anyone grown these 'maters?
Comments (5)Isis Candy, pretty decent taste but not my top choice for a cherry Large Red Cherry, again, pretty good taste but not one of my top choices for a red cherry Tommy Toes, don't like the taste at all, tastes funky to me Delicious , scads of varieties I'd pick over this variety for taste for a red beefsteak Marion, an earlier commercial variety that has a more tomatoey taste along with Valiant, New Yorker and Ruters, for instance Phenomenal , haven't grown Supersteak, haven't grown Chico III , haven't grown Carolyn...See MoreIdeas for 2010 varieties...can I get some opinions?
Comments (23)Well for me my list is always changing, and this thread has helped shape it a bit; at the moment I plan on: Aunt Gerties Gold Black Cherry Indian Stripe Opalka Sudduths brandywine or Cowlick's Brandywine Aunt Rubys german green maybe, maybe not NAR Neves Azorean Noir de Crimee -1 Indian stripe and BFT take precidence Yellow Out Red In: late, SD, solid 6 oz. globe, tart, the best of the keeping tomatoes from sand hill Mortgage Lifter - didn't make it to plant out So far from this years garden I plan to grow again Black from Tula 2 if I can manage space Sungold is great but I might give Sunsugar a shot Rutgers x 2 w/ room to sprawl, had some already, lots more coming soon. Marianna's peace had a few, very good for bruschetta, lots more coming Jury still out on Vinson Watts Willard Wynn Green Zebra Morado Won't be growing Early Ssubakus Aliana Old German will need a huge turn around to get another shot, only one not to set fruit Roman Candle Roller Coaster Russo Sicilian Toggeta - my straw bail failures probably aren't fair to judge. I don't think it's worth saving seed from, but maybe seed from another source some day. I've got 15 toms this year, but I think 11 or 12 will be a better fit next year, not as much growing space doing away w/ the straw bales and have to keep some yard for the kids and the dog. W/ room for maybe 12 plants, why do I have over 20 that I want to grow already? This year I had 16 choices didn't plant out green pineapple but gave it away. I had 38 plants make it to grow out time, a kill 2 weeks before plant out helped because I did have about 30 varieties to choose from....See MoreYour biggest tomato(s) - what variety?
Comments (24)Here are (clockwise) Mexico, Omar's Lebanese, Cherokee Green, and a red version of Gregori's Altai. The Cherokee Green was 2 lbs 3.1 oz. Mexico won first place last September at the 2008 Buffalo-Niagara Tomato TasteFest... it was over 2lbs... Consistently large ones are Omar's, Cuostralee, Mexico, Kornesevvsije, Lithuainian, Daniels, Tidwell German, Dutchman, Italian Sweet, Olena Ukrainian, Phil's Fantastic, and, for hearts, Oleyar's German, Wes, Nicky Crain, Ukrainian Heart & Kosovo. Large bi-colors are Burracker's Favorite & King Pineapple. I even get some XL-XXL GMG's: I'm sure there are MANY I forgot to mention! Hope this helps....See Moreelkwc
