Fall/winter planting list?

Vince · May 31, 2007

What is everyone growing this fall?
My list is as follows..

FROM SEED

1-3 Dora (thanks Suze)
1-3 Gary O'Sena (".....")
1-3 Citron Compact (thanks Michael)
1-5 New Big Dwarf (".....")
1-3 Mr. Bruno's
Lots of dwarfs from the project.

CUTTINGS

1-5 CP (an absolute star in my garden this spring)
1-2 stupice
1-5 Brad's Black Heart
1-3 Brandy Boy (these did great last year)
2 Sungold

NOT RETURNING THIS FALL

BW, BW Sudduth, Earl's Faux.
Great tomatoes but to much disease this year, will plant all three again next year.

Cheers, Vince.

I'm sure my list will change before I have to start seeds in July, but this is what I am considering right now.

Arkansas Traveler (I gave away all my spring plants but got to taste it)
Beefsteak
Chadwick Cherry
Chi Quita
Eva Purple Ball (Growing now; this one and Kimberly are the only ones, along with the smaller cherries, that are still setting in the heat and humidity)
Extreme Bush (Growing now; interesting looking plant)
Heaven's Joy
Homesweet (Growing now; like the taste)
Kimberly (Growing now; still cranking them out with no sign of disease when others are about to go down)
Kosovo
Little Lucky
Momotaro (Growing now and really like it)
Manasota (Couldn't resist the name; have to see how it tastes)
Mountain Princess
Pruden's Purple
Rutgers
Stupice
Sungold (Wow, this one has made my must-grow list)
Ukranian Heart
Wes
Yukon
And I hope to get involved in the Dwarf project

recently started campari and stupice due to a seed mix up. all 3 stupice came up (potato leaf), so I will let one grow and see what happens. I am undecided on what else I will grow, maybe gregori's altai, flamme

I'll probably just snip off a piece of my current Creole plant and root it. I may also start one or two Fireworks and Green Sausage I just got in a swap. My Fall space and sunlight is very limited so I'll have to live vicariously through you all.

There was a thread a couple of weeks ago where
a grower from down South (Georgia, Louisiana,
some place like that) described his alternative
to taking cuttings or starting seeds for a fall
crop, which was to simply cut his spring plants
off 6 inches or so above the ground in midsummer
and let them grow back.

This may not be useful for determinates, but
he said by fall the indeterminates were all
big and bushy again and that they benefited
from already having a full-sized root system,
which made for faster regrowth.

Trying this does not preclude starting some
seedlings for a fall crop. It may simply make
some of them superflous.
