definitely have volunteers ever year after that if you grow them.
you can never get them all picked. I used to just pick them by the branch. M&M peanut size. |
[QUOTE=slugworth;746072]I thought Juliet was a determinate type.
I was going to buy plants but that is what the label said.[/QUOTE] Definitely indeterminate, and a 1999 AAS winner: [url]https://all-americaselections.org/product/tomato-juliet/[/url] |
[QUOTE=Barb_FL;746087]So surprised to hear Juliet mentioned. I grew it back in the day, and it was foolproof but how does it taste?
Thick skin or thin? Sweet? /QUOTE] Taste (for me) is ok, it is not really a sweet tomato here. Skin is thick, but what I noted to Farmer Shawn is that it comes off so easily when blanched. Sweet? Jolly & Sugary from the same breeder (Known-You Seed) are both sweeter. They also do Golden Gem which is quite sweet. |
It is hard to beat Arkansas Traveler for dependability. Will set fruit in any kind of weather

sin sugar
Sun sugar last till a hard freeze year after year and it tastes sooo good.

Galina is always my first ripe and the last plant standing. Last year I pulled it right before Thanksgiving - only because I wanted to put the garden to bed for the year. It was still blooming.

It seems to change every year but this time it has been Kentucky Beefsteak, Lemon Boy & Barnes Mountain Pink.

If Juliet is Determinate why do I always have 8 to 12 foot vines.

I have high bug and disease pressure in my suburban Tulsa backyard garden. Most of my plants are gone by mid-July. I've grown Karen's KARMA Pink for 2 years now, and it's been the last plant standing for both of those years.

This is the first year I am growing varieties from KarenO as well, and they are very vigorous, and more disease resistant than plants near them. Some of the nearby plants include commercial hybrids.

Here is a pic of a basket of Stellar. One picking off one plant. About 20 tomatoes in the picking. They taste good, but not as juicy as many heirlooms. 4-8 ounces, each nearly perfect shape and virtually no cracking. Dense flesh and very little core. I think if I could only grow one tomato, this would be the one. Long shelf life on and off the plant.
|
GreatGardens, how long of a production season do the Stellars have? And would you describe them as mild, medium, or strong-flavored?
|
Larry - They are beautiful. Did you harvest any others previously from that same plant? I counted 24 in the basket.
That's quite an endorsement if you could grow just one plant. What score (1-10) would you give it for taste? |
