Nice group !
List

What were some of the dwarfs (examples) that you had bad luck with the mites in your setting?

Just wondering...




[QUOTE=JosephineRose;679863]My tentative list:

In Earthboxes:
Daniels
Not Brandywine Heart
Granadero (two plants)
Neves Azorean Red
DLH
Pruden's Purple
Karma Pink
Brutus
Mennonite Orange
KBX
Kelloggs Breakfast
GGWT
Black Krim
BKX
Paul Robeson
JD's Special C Tex
Daniel Burson
Vorlon
Cherokee Purple
Margaret Curtain

In Gardener's Grow Bags (roughly 12G):
Orange Jazz
Sungold
Casey’s Yellow
Sugary Yellow
Black Cherry
Japanese Black Trifele
Rainbow Jazz Heart
Madera F1

In 10G Smart Pots:
New Big Dwarf
EM Champion
Dw Purple Heart
Tastywine
Cherokee Tiger
Rosella Purple
Loxton Lad

I've had bad luck with Dwarf plants dying off quickly and being loaded with disease or vulnerable to russet mite attack, while the other plants survive. So this year I am relegating them to Smart Pots.[/QUOTE]

One heck of a list!

I see you have multiple brandywines and I keep seeing posts where people compare and declare one better than the others. Do you find distinct differences between them? You must, since you grow several every year. I have seeds for a few different ones, but have never grown any.

FarmerShawn January 28, 2018 12:34 AM

Andre, thanks for the corrections; I’ll try to fix them on my spreadsheet. I mostly grow the various brandywines because I’m still comparing them, and they are all good anyway. Can’t have enough brandywines.
I grow for market, well, market finances my tomato obsession. What I don’t sell or can gets dehydrated, which still sell pretty well in the off season.

Lisa, i am trying to grow Micro's from Dan as well and it a first for me - do you know the best soil mix to use in the house for Micro's and would it be any different if i took some outside later?
Thanks
Pete

JosephineRose January 30, 2018 03:11 PM

New Big Dwarf
Tastywine
Cherokee Tiger
Rosella Purple
Dwarf Sweet Sue
Tasmanian Chocolate
Rainbow Dwarf
Red Viper Dwarf


None of these survived to fruiting last year. I discovered last year the mite is a problem with all tomato plants here in the Bay Area, so this year I am prepared. But the dwarf plants seem to be hit harder, faster and struggle more with it, while the standard plants survive to produce fruit. Uluru Ochre, Dwarf Purple Heart, Lime Green Salad and Hahms Gelbe made it and fruited, as did Dw Arctic Rose after being overwintered.

I have had this experience with all dwarf plants the last three years.

This year I am growing all in containers (EBs or grow bags) with new soil. Nothing produced in ground at the community garden in 2017 - it was all completely wiped out. I was going to solarize but I think it would be better to sterilize the containers and start over.

I notice Dwarf Arctic Rose was resilient for you in this circumstance ...

It is for me as well .....another member of the Dwarf project Grumpy line that also does well for me is Yukon Quest .....

I also tried growing a Parent of the above 2 ..Budai Torpe and was extremely pleased .

greenthumbomaha January 30, 2018 09:29 PM

Everyone is making me want to start a list too, even though I need to do a serious cleaning of my indoor grow area which has yucky spotted overwintered peppers now.

So instead I made a category list until I can lay things out:

Beefsteak (includes hybrids and crosses)
Slicer
Early
Cherry
Basket (for garden clubs)
Paste
Orange
GWR
Dwarf (for garden clubs)
Micros already started but remaining tiny!

Getting great ideas from above in the meantime.

Pete,

My first time too. I think Bower and possibly oakley have threads with windowsill photos on this from last year.

My micros are going very slowly. I used some old coir pellets and potted them up with the coir on the bottom with a new small bag of Burpee Organic until its time to break out the huge bags.

I would start them in a better quality mix next time and not change anything except fertilize as needed when they go outside. I was actually hoping to eat them before it was time to move outside but my timing failed.

tryno12 January 31, 2018 01:27 AM

Lisa,are you using something like Promix to grow your Micro Dwarfs in?
Thanks
Pete

Thanks green, we will see what happens - my micros just starting 3rd leaf in promix and will up-pot to ??:?!?: these are Dan's seeds as well.
