Hold on the vine varieties....
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 ???
