Hi all,

I have been thinking of trying not to waste by having more varieties that

have exceptional "hold on the vine ready " attribute.

Not to be confused with "longkeeperness " I suppose it is a related attribute .

(Longkeeper is another format and type of commitment .)

But Keeping on the vine ready to pick / utilize longer ...but not going soft or

overripe Spreading out the fresh use "Window" harvest means more tomatoes used with less plants and less resources wasted.

I guess not to hard/thick skin and not to thin soft etc.

I think that is a kind of way to extend harvest and available use of fresh off vine tomatoes .

I Find that Hybrids Juliet and La Roma hold on vine and after picking quite well.

also Hybrid big beef not bad either for "hold on vine " etc.

Zluta Kytice seems to hold on vine for use quite long ..

small ones like :

Puck

Yaponskiy karlik

Unikalnyi

Budai Torpe

Chibbiko

yellow Pygmy

Suprisingly …...Franklin County (Dwarf project ) holds on vine ready for extended fresh pick quite well ...real cute mini beefsteaks .

Does anybody recommend some varieties that would be extended hold on the vine in good condition types ???
