I never tasted the PL but the normal Indian can be pretty gosh darnoodley good. Tangy yes, but good flavour and great texture. You're going to have a hard time comparing other tomatoes to the GWRs, all that I tried have been on average better than any other colour by a good amount.
There's some powdery mildew there, plants seem a bit crowded. I would remove some stems and get air in there. |

LOL @MissS, raincoats eh! might be an idea worth pursuing! I'll gladly take you up on your offer after the season is done
![]() @bschaerger GGWT seems to be a safe bet, got lots of rain as well in Germany? I always imagined you guys had better weather than us! @zipcode it pains me to hear this about Indian Stripe as I failed, yet again today, to detect any flavor and the texture is not great. I kept 20 inches between plants but due to travelling overseas a couple of times this summer, some suckers got away and I didn't have the heart to cut them after they thickened. Should've probably cut them anyways, I always think it would shock the plant and throw its growth into limbo for a while, I hope my theory is wrong.

This year I had 3 (out of 20) Cosmonaut Volkov plants
What a waste of space, low production, not pretty and the taste is not great. Definitely not coming back, I'd rather go for smaller/earlier tomatoes Matsu is the first plant to succumb to disease and production is low. This one also will not be returning. ![]() |

Those are some beautiful tomatoes that you have grown. I'm glad that you have so many that will be making a return to your garden next season. I am always happy when I just find one or two out of the bunch that will be making a return visit. I suppose that is because I like to try so many 'new to me' varieties. The next garden I plant, I intend to just grow 10-15 of my favorites and leave the experiments for another year. I figure that I finally deserve a year of eating the 'best of the best' and see which ones I enjoy the best of all.
You have learned a LOT and done a wonderful job!

Banadoura, Nice going. Beautiful fruit. I prepped you about GGWT, remember ? ;-)
I too have become merciless when it comes to poor performers, they're not invited back. Too little time and space to bother. |

Great looking harvest!
So nice to follow the season all the way through, the downs and ups. I always get a couple varieties that just never do well here. I often give them 2 or three more tries but most often they are just duds in certain climates. |

![]() I will settle on favorites only, one of these days, as there's still too many to try in my case ![]() |

@taboule yessir you did!
@oakley speaking of climates, you and @taboule are not that different in terms of zone from me, I'd be curious to hear what other varieties were a success in your gardens? |

We were very lucky to have gone through somewhat a second summer with excellent temps all through September. In fact, I only removed the plants a couple of weeks ago.
So I was lucky enough to get another batch of tomatoes in the second half of September. In October, I harvested the green left overs that had a chance to blush and called it a season. I still have a couple of garden tomatoes blushing to be eaten this week, a first ever at this time! Jaune Flammee just kept going in substantial numbers until the very end, a shame the taste was not there so it was in vain. Rebel Yell wins the biggest tomato for the season at 1 lb. ![]() Lindy's Little Krim was a good one. ![]() Returning next year (100%) will be LLK and GGWT, the rest will most likely be new varieties to test. Come January I'll start putting the seeds together and gear up to the 2018 season ![]() Last edited by Banadoura; November 2, 2017 at 01:32 PM. |

Banadoura, what a wonderful thread you have created. Thanks so much for sharing your garden adventures with everyone here. I hope that others have learned from your experience.
I wish you better growing weather next year. Most likely you will have a whole new variety of issues to address as well as new varieties of tomatoes to talk about. The offer of seeds still stands. ~ Cheers ~

Banadoura, nice job, lots of nice pictures during your adventure.
You ended on a good note with L's Little Krim, zaytoun asouad, khibz, and what's the white stuff on the right? Jibne? or labne? Bravo ;-) |
