End of the Season 2019

NarnianGarden · October 9, 2019

We already had our first snow here in Finland some days ago. Thankfully, everything was gathered in before that :-)

It happens every year: the season is cut short, and so many lovely tomatoes have to be harvested green and kept in a cardboard box for ripening.

The winners of this year definitely are...

Boloto (delicious and did not lose the flavor when indoor ripened)
Summer Cider
True Colours

Cherries category:

Dr. Carolyn - just wow.
(I love white cherries, period.)

The only one totally tasteless was Anmore Dewdrop. Lovely plant, very lush, green, prolific. Just no flavor.. even supermarket tomatoes taste better.
(it was grown with exactly the same soil, amendments, fertilizers etc as other varieties..)

That was it..
Among many Russian commercial varieties about four of them were totally wrong... different color and shape than in the picture. Not sure if Russian companies love to give shock treatments

.. but I am more convinced than ever that the best way to get what I want is to get it directly from someone's garden, not from a company in a packet..
