Re: Casady’s Folly
Dear Tom Wagner First of all "'I look at you like a Tomato Celebrities"" But I will try not to get all excited, because I don;t want you to run from me or my posting. I have been following much of your hard work over the years. My Customers and I Love all of your tomatoes. On other forums, I was not able to understand tomato breading: but I did realized breading is not hybridizing but making open pollinated varieties. I realist many years ago; My love of historical farming is just for farming ang not trying to understand the anatomy of tomatoes genes because of my difficulties of dyslexia. I tried for many years to understand the formularies, but its way over my head. I order seeds from a seed vendor I like {Love} in 2006 where was a beautiful surprise in one package of seeds that produced a tomatoes that looked like "Casady’s Folly". I thought I found it this summer but, the tomatoes that grow did not look like this special Tomato. That was a conversational display. and good tasting too. Can you help me find it? This is the only tomato I can not replace from past hurricanes. I must find it again.

http://tatianastomatobase.com/wiki/C...b=General_Info Actually several sources for it, so Tom can ignore kind of, what you wrote above, Joyce, when looking for specific varieties the best place to go is to Tania's website and checkout sources. Of course if Tania is listing it, that's fine, but her site is a data base so she also lists other sites where a variety is sold, ![]() Hope that helps, Carolyn

I want to thank all seed vendors for trying to help me. But, It hard when you don't have a name. Thank God for Tania!!! I am so happy. Tell Tom Wagner He truly help me by posting his pictures and the name.

Mrs Carolyn this was the first time during a goolge search that Tomaville came up when looking for a tomato variety. You'all is doing a very good job. Out of all the vendors names Tina's was the one that I trust. But I did go to Tomatofest first because we are in the same growing zone; But they did not have the seeds or it did noyt come up in their search section. This is what Casady'y Folly search look like in google: Tom Wagner's creation - Casady's Folly - Tomatoville® ...

Hi Tom,
Your varieties are very impressive. I am getting back into the tomato gardening. I have just received some Indigo rose for Oregon state University and would like to know have you crossed any of those with your varieties. sims_l22 |

Wow. Blauer Punkt is so beautiful - if the taste is anything close to good, it would be something to try it one day.

Is blauer punkt in circulation? The striping and spotting and range of that blue is nothing short of amazing.
Also is that an Environmental or genetic anomaly that we're seeing on Embarrassing tomatoes? Gaston |

Tom, it would help me to know which are dwarf, and/or small plants. Thanks.

Blauer Punkt is not in circulation yet. I think I have it in my sowing lists but then it is but one of 843 kinds started this year. I have other blue dotted strains coming along to compare the dot patterns.
Someday I will get around to describing the striped varieties a bit....perhaps when I get an increase of seed to go along with the updated growth habits....ie....dwarf, determinate, etc. |

Very creative and beautiful tomatoes! I have ab accidental striped heart that I am trying to grow out. It should be in my avatar if I got that working correctly. It looks like Striped Roman but is probably a cross between my Red Oxhearts and a Striped Cavern that was nearby. Accidental but fun to grow out.

I also misses Tom Wagner.
I think I saved my Green Zebra Tomato Plants from the Heat today. Has anyone grown his "Embarrassing tomatoes" he posted in 2013. http://i.imgur.com/NqAwCkL.png?1

I'm thrilled to have seedlings of this stripey TW variety, which are gorgeously wispy and hairy and very compact: Favorie de Bretagne. Looking nice and early as well!
I wanted to ask Tom, whether you were selecting for any disease resistance when breeding this variety. I know you had disease resistance in mind in your work, as a general principle. I'm having a bad time with Early Blight when our summers get more hot and humid than they used to, and growing out some seeds from other breeders and mentors this summer, to see if there's a thread I can pick up to make my tomatoes more resilient to future climate. IDK if you still visit TW, but I did want to thank you for your work and for all the inspiration and advice in your discussions here. And TY for Favorie de Bretagne, which seeds have flown my way just when I needed to be inspired again. Looking forward to growing this plant. |
