Orange-1 (Seed from Andrey)

Andrey_BY · January 21, 2007

That fruit on the left looks much bigger than average for Orange-1 variety. Great results, Randy!

Did you grow it indoor or outdoor? :wink:

Hi Randy - good to see you posting here - welcome to T-ville!

Very nice pictures!

Hi Andrey:

The Orange #1 was grown outdoors in large pots.
Very nice taste for a orange tomato, grows well too.
This year I wish to grow this one in our main garden.
It deserves a place!

Thanks Tania!

I will post many other images from another hard drive in a few days...

This year I'm gonna have a massive production from one plant of Orange-1 grown indoor. Fruits are in much bigger scale than outdoor definately!

**carolyn137** · July 11, 2007

I too like Orange-1 and the plants are always loaded up with fruits. And my experience was that they were all pretty much the same size.

Randy, since I have no way of knowing the size of those fruits that you show, I can't say that one is abnormally large. I can say that mine, as grown outside, were almost all of the same size with no differential like that.

Whatever.

Hi Carolyn,

Orange 1 were grown in three large pots last year, one pot had a organic mix of kelp, manure, peatmoss and top soil.
The others had only topsoil, peatmoss and abit of manure.
The potted mix with the kelp grew stronger plants and a few larger tomato's than the rest. All tasted the same though!

Take care,
Randy

Next week I'm gonna visit our Institute of Vegetable Gardening and their greenhouses and will have some talks with the originator of Orange-1 Leonid Mishin their chief for tomatoes, peppers and eggplants

Lately he said he has spend more than 5 years to develope Orange-1 from different tomato lines from Moldova. Very well done, Leonid

Good growing !

I will say my Orange 1 is very hardy. The hail beat it up terrible and broke the top almost all the way out. I trimmed it up and almost pulled it. For a week I was 2nd guessing myself but really wanted to save some seeds from it. It has recovered and suckered out and starting to really grow and load up. Very impressive so far. Jay

Andrey_BY · July 22, 2007

Yes, it is very hardy both outdoor and indoor. And it seems to be giving me a record-breaking (for this variety) fruits this year (about 300-400 g on the first cluster)! 8)

PNW_D · July 22, 2007

And from last summer - makes a great marmalade too

blatanna · July 23, 2007

Hi PNW, wondering if you could post the recipe for the marmalade please, It looks yummy.
