It's just a Green Zebra that came from a "sorta" superbloom. Thanks NarnianGarden

Caspian Pink, my mothership plant, yielded 60 tomatoes= 34.30lbs, average size .57lbs, seven were over a pound, the biggest was 1.67lbs
Had an Early Girl that yielded 25.06lbs from 117 tomatoes. 1884 yielded 20.00lbs+ from every plant. Lost track on others, Illdi yielded a bazillion yellow cherry tomatoes that are good... thirst quenchers. |

AKmark,
You have very impressive tomatoes! I am also impressed with your ability to quote statistics on your plants production. Would you mind elaborating on how you keep track of your plants' production? I tried to keep stats on my plants this year but the administration overwhelmed me with 240 plants so I gave up. Thanks, Charley |

I just pick a couple plants from a few different varieties and keep up on the notes. I write the weight of each fruit as soon as I harvest it, or like many of my notes on certain plants, the numbers get jumbled. I also plan on tracking weights of like varieties ,in different areas of the greenhouse. I've noticed some do not like the length of day up here, or the South wall, others love it, Im just curious what the difference will be, from north to south sides.
For me, it did away with the myth that heirlooms are hard to grow and do not yield well in Alaska. |

Thanks mark,
Using "samples" to monitor production looks to me much more feasible. Charley |

Many varieties that I'll hopefully be growing next year.
Those 'twins' are fun to watch - I had a few from Black Krim plants towards the end of the summer. Would not mind to have them from Green Zebra and others as well! |

Carolyn, please share the photo if you want, I think I have two different ones posted. The Illdi variety is a jaw dropper to look at and the fruit is sweet, alittle tangy, but not as powerful as a good Sungold. However... it still ranks high, is good to just munch, has pretty fruit, and it produces alot more, hundreds and hundreds per plant.
Tomatofest was my seed source for these. I equally enjoyed your thread, and have learned alot from some good folks here. Good luck in the mater patch, Mark O. |

I showed those pics to my Dad and threatened to plant an Ildi on my parents' patio next year. He was duly shocked
