You really have created your own slice of paradise, just beautiful! Love viewing all of the pics. How awesome it would be to just step outside and pick a pineapple or mango!

I hope you are right about the cucumbers. I also have a very small Sweet Success seedling in an adjacent EB. Quote:

Many thanks. Gerardo suggested I put a cacao tree under the mango. That would bpe perfect for it. It does take a little of the edge off of not being able to get a fresh garden tomato at this time of year. I'm kinda jealous of you guys that can grow in the summer. I have to wait until late fall or winter to get mine. |

How large did Esmeralda Golosina get for you (plant growth, not fruit size)? And how would you compare the flavor to, say, Lime Green Salad (which for me produces fairly intense fruit on the tart side of things)? The J&L website seems to indicate that EG is an extremely sweet tomato, but your description makes it sound more balanced but just leaning more toward sweet. |

It's a full indeterminate grown here where I have a 9 month season, it ended up being about 8 feet tall. I have grown LGS and that is definitely much tarter then EG, but for me there was a good amount of acid to balance it. Most think the flavor of EG is wonderful, I can think of one who did not, but he had rain and everything was bland.
It has been grown twice for me, never bland. |

Thx, Marsha. I was considering trying it in a container, but it sounds like it deserves ground space. I'll put in on the queue for a future growlist.
