antichevarieta, for the purple haze seeds, I tried to get them and was told that you can only buy the plant as the seeds are not stable. I looked for them for over a year and gave up. So if Tatiana has them that's great news and recent, I believe. I think I already listed my plants so I won't bore you with repeating what I am growing except that I am going to planting Cuor di Bue and that excites me!

Great lists, everyone! Thanks for sharing them. I'm wondering if all of you who posted would be willing to post again about which ones were your favorites of the season and why...maybe I'll start a follow-up thread later in the summer/early fall.

Hope everyone is up to their ears in tomatoes soon!

Kath - I can post an update at the end of my season if it's of interest; however, I'm growing nothing but 12 hybrids now. They all have a bit of sameness taste-wise but some are definitely more disease resistant than others which might be of interest especially to those who are grafting. I can provide an early report on two now: Amelias are OK taste-wise, early, prolific and relatively disease resistant. Grandmas Pick are just the opposite - dead before any tomatoes ripened. I can post a full report to include root knot nematode (RKN) resistance of all 12 when I pull them.

Jerry, I would love to read your results at the end of the season. I have limited space so grow mostly hybrids too, but I usually grow 2 or 3 heirlooms a year.

FisherPrice · June 16, 2013

I am limited by my 10x10 greenhouse size and the short cool growing season in Fairbanks. All are in containers due to the cold temp of the ground. I had to be selective in my plant choices, most are recommended by the University of Alaska Ag department.

Veggies
Norkotah Russet Potatoes
Thai Hot Peppers (Dragon)
Golden Bell Sweet Pepper
Hot Banana Pepper
Yellow Crookneck Squash
Sweet Mama Winter Squash
Tasty Green Burpless Cucumber
Sugar Ann Snow peas
Oregon Shugar Pod 2

Tomatoes
Grafted Early Girl (from Mightymato)
Detskiy Sladkiy (Russian)
Sweet Million (cherry)

Jerry, I think that there are always people who'll be interested in the results, no matter how you grow, where you're located, or which varieties of tomatoes happen to be in your garden. The fact that you deal with extreme disease pressure only makes your results more valuable to those facing similar problems. Thanks for offering to post your observations.

Hello, Kath,
you have in your grow list both PL and RL Amazon chocolate. Did they set fruit yet? My PL did, I do not grow RL. It was the second to set fruit, the first was Omar Lebanese (ha).

Deborah · June 16, 2013

I didn't know there's a tomato named for Jimi Hendrix. How did that come about?

Hi, Ella- The potato-leaved version was the first to set fruit this year aside from Sungold and I think last year it was the same. The RL one is flowering and may have set some tiny ones but not any that are clearly visible without hunting. I included a picture of the poor lumpy little things.

Kath and Ella, the PL version I got from Kath was a very good early set and it looks like the tomatoes are going to be larger than the RL version I sent Kath. I didn't grow my RL version in the field for comparison, so will be very curious to read Kath's comparisons of the two. Kath, are you also growing the other (smaller) RL version this year?

Hi, Steve- yes, the RL plant is right next to the PL and is doing well. The plants are about the same height and it'll be very interesting to see how they compare as the season progresses. Not sure if I mentioned that I grew Amazon Chocolate several years ago from seeds received in a trade which produced very tall RL plants with fruits in the 2 to 4 oz. range that split extremely easily. Your description sounded very different and definitely worth a try- I'll let you know how it goes.
