Grushovka #4717 (30 seeds) Siberian variety of delicious, pink, egg-shaped fruit. Tomatoes are about 3 inches long with thin skin and are excellent for canning. Plants are small, only about 2-1/2 feet tall, but produce abundantly. Determinate. 65 days.
This is another variety offered by TomatoGrowers---thoughts?? |

Last year I started seeds in mid February our average last frost is April 15, I planted a hundred foot row that included Cole, 0-33, Fireworks, Big Beef and Juane Flamme under black plastic mulch around April 20th, unfortunately I wasn't paying attention and that first row got a bad case of EB, after I treated them with bleach spray, they were severely stunted. I got tomatoes from all plants but can't give an opinion of them because of the EB. I'm trying them again this year and spray a preventive early also.

Doing more sleuthing---
red robin--maybe not--likes 65 degrees, but tolerates indoors Red Robin #6010 (30 seeds) This popular dwarf variety of cherry tomato thrives in relatively small pots or hanging baskets set on sunny windowsills or outdoor patios. Plants only become 8 to 12 in. tall and bear masses of 1-1/4 inch full-flavored tomatoes with a touch of sweetness. It is a very rewarding harvest from a small tomato plant that can be grown in an 8-inch pot. Determinate 55 days. Grushovka #4717 (30 seeds) Siberian variety of delicious, pink, egg-shaped fruit. Tomatoes are about 3 inches long with thin skin and are excellent for canning. Plants are small, only about 2-1/2 feet tall, but produce abundantly. Determinate. 65 days.

Average last frost is May 5 here. Is EB typical or more likely for very early planting?? Something a row cover could prevent? |

Grushovka is a dwarf plant (0,5-0,7 m high) with rather good flavour, but usually it is a mid early to midseason variety (110-115 days after seed germination; 60-65 days after transplant).

I planted 5-100ft rows spaced 5 or so days apart, the first row was the only one that had problems. And every varity in that row had problems. Ideally black plastic mulch and a low tunnel might be the way to go. |

The Saraev are listed at Tantiana's. Does anyone have experience with any of the varieties? 0-33 is there too.

I forgot to mention Joseph's tomatoes here. You should read up on how his short season led to him breeding short season cold hardy tomatoes. His seeds are here. http://garden.lofthouse.com/seed-list.phtml I'm growing Big Hill for sure this year and may be growing Ot'Jagodka and Fern as well.

Succession planting is not putting all your eggs in the same basket... If I would have planted all 5 rows when I did the first one, all rows would probably have EB. Each row ripened at different times ( there were many other varieties I planted) which stretched out the season and I wasn't swamped with too many tomatoes at one time. I had ripe tomatoes till the first frost.
