2016 Winners and Losers

Greatgardens · July 16, 2016

2016 has been marked by a new (to me) foliage disease. It "ate" all my determinates that were in Earthboxes and baskets. The leaves get a grayish covering to them and then yellow and die. My Pink Passion quickly quickly succumbed to this malady. Lots of green tomatoes, but the foliage is going fast. It also decimated Stupice.

The F-1's have clearly withstood it far better than the OP's. Mano OP is affected, but has done better than all the other OP's. Best resistance by far has been from Fourth of July and Mountain Magic. My Indeterminates in soil are not affected thus far. This is the first year I've grown Fourth of July, and I'm very impressed. It is a slightly larger plant than Stupice, but very manageable and certainly not huge. M.M. is a big plant for an EB -- doubt that I grow it again.
