What tomato varieties are you growing this year?
I would be interested in knowing what the tomato lovers in the group
are growing this year. I will be growing plants for my friends that have been tested in my garden and will grow some new varieties for myself. Here are the ones I have grown successfully befo Clear Pink Early Mortgage Lifter (pink/red) Black Brandywine And the varieties I will be trying for the first time: Mortgage Lifter (red VFN) Oxheart Bull's Heart Rose Micro-Tina Tropic VFN Neptune Kentucky Beefsteak Ponderosa Red Super Sioux I had planned to just grow 5-6 plants but here I go again with 10. I think I am addicted. Happy Gardening, Lee Hall Tennessee - southern end of Zone 6B |

I think I am addicted. I'll probably just grow Principe Borghese (sp?) and Sausage again. They did very good for me last year. Maybe one more variety, but I haven't decided yet. "Sausage" didn't seem very productive at first, but each fruit had an amazing amount of meat to it. Best regards, Bob |

Taste is supposed to be the best, but because of the lateness of the fruit I do not expect to have them for long. I grew Brandywine last year. I will never grow them again in this climate - I think we had TWO ripe tomatoes from them. Bah. The plants got huge, and one of them collapsed its cage - they have funny-looking leaves, btw, different from other tomatoes I've grown - but they didn't set much fruit and what fruit they did have, didn't ripen.

I wonder if the "Juliette" you refer to is the same as the "Juliet" I grew last year. I was absolutely overrun with them. The Juliets were a Roma type tomato but a little smaller than the true Romas. This w Yes, it is. I grew it in large container and |

Yes, it is. I grew it in a large container and let it starve a bit. Worked
fine for me. I still have a few tomatoes from the suckers I transplanted. However, they were not as good as Celebrity. I grew Health Kick as well and found that bland. I started seeds from last year's crop last week and they are about an inch high now. Of course, having a warm 'winter' in So Calif helps :-) /z. |

I'm going to grow Santa again this year. Last year I got several plants
from seeds I picked out of a salad from our local deli. They grow great and what the heck. Free seeds. The kids like to pick these tiny treats. I got some great orange bell peppers from a grocery store pepper last year too. They grow great here as long as they are in a container. Jo Zone 4b - New Brunswick |

How about one of the very old commercial varieties, like Marglobe? My parents used to grow those in East Texas. I tried them last year in Minnesota and they didn't ripen. I'll give them another chance in a year or two. Best regards, Bob |

(I am in Zone 9) AS mentioned by others, Marglobe and its successor Rutgers would seem to meet your taste requirements. Marion is a the same type but more suited to SE conditions, Even the hybrid round reds like Fanatastic and SuperSonic are good canning types. Depending on where you are in Zone 9 you may have a heat problem. If so Homestead or one of the Florida tomatoes may be more suitable |
