Hi Carolyn,
This kind of visual evidence confounds me about how much room a plant needs to grow. I am baffled at how you can grow 2 -3 beautiful plants in a 4 gal container (granted they are pruned, and extremely well!) when the "classic standard" calls for much, much more space between plants. You have a splendid set up! Charley |

Wish I could find an heirloom cherry that produced and tasted like that hybrid Sweet Million. I have tried several and non compare. [/QUOTE] Thanks for the pictures and Sweet Million recommendation. I have some Sweet 1000 000 seeds, and plan to grow that variety next year, Lord willing. Did you ever try Ildi? It's supposedly delicious and very prolific. |
Blondkopfchen has similar to Sweet Million bloom. It is yellow grape form small tomato, pretty sweet.

thank you salsacharley
Narnian, I will check out the info on the Ildi. never tried it. and the blondkopfchen. |
Ooh, if you're interested in the multiflora, I liked Reisentraube, but it got BIG. I'm trying Centiflor, Fireworks, and Geranium Kiss (dwarf?) this spring. Ildi and Rose Quartz Multiflora are also on my list.

Very impressive! I think I am going to shake things up next year!

I enjoy looking at your photos and reading your posts so much; thanks for
taking the time to post. Everything looks amazing! Darlene |
That Illdi cluster looks awesome. :)
thanks |
What about Rose Quartz Multiflora? Anyone tried it?

Carolyn, sorry, I missed seeing this before you ordered. I think Rose Quart Multiflora will be perfect for you - it has a very nice flavor and doesn't split. Hangs well on the plant, so gives you some picking leeway. Here is a photo of a typical truss from a field-grown plant. I think if you vibrated the trusses regularly you could get a larger percent of fruit set than what I show here. It is my favorite multiflora.:) Steve |
My yahoo mail was almost infected by a virus and is currently locked and yahoo is working on it. I wasn't getting any emails which was abnormal and called yahoo.
I have another email. [EMAIL="carolynjuanitaphillips@yahoo.com"]carolynjuanitaphillips@yahoo.com[/EMAIL] I haven't change it on all my internet accounts yet. Sorry. Thank you Steve. I look forward to growing them. It has been hard to find an open pollinated/heirloom variety as close to Sweet Million as possible. I have been growing Sweet Million for 15 years and it's hard to let go. I shake all the vines daily....sometimes every other day. They should do great. Now all I have to do is decide How I want to grow it . too many options. but always with TLC |
I was searching for more pictures and info about the Rose Quartz and came across this youtube.
I posted in General too Refractometer to measure sugar in fruit. I feel like I came across a nifty tomato toy. I might be later than others on finding this out. I really want one. [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FEJZ9BJFc04[/url] |

That is so pretty |
Even though the mittleider mixture made the plants grow like crazy, I think it causes my plants to have more fungus and disease issues. (chemicals/Nitrogen) Weak immune system against the uglies.
Just saying I want to switch to an organic method and I haven't completely decided what that will be but I love my rabbit manure and I love worm castings(natural micro-nutrients) . I will be working with that to figure out a balance. And composting chicken manure using worms. |
