Beautiful! I love Sara Black but for me I only get a small amount of fruit.

Sara black

Pinklady5, I agree it is less productive. Last year I only got about 6 pounds of it, while IS or JD's special C-Tex were twice as productive. Few years ago it performed pretty good, more than 10 pounds. This year it has good number of fruits on it. I grow Sara every year for the taste and earliness.

Turopolje/Turopoljska (PL, pink from Croatia), first time growing. Got my seeds from from greyghost who got it from ddsek. Thank you.

While Indian Stripe and Sara black more on a sweet side, Turopolje has both sweet and acidic taste. Great for salads and definitely for sandwich.

You can see that there is a bit of water next to a bitten tomato. It was 8 ounce Black Master. Now it is trash. I saw squirrel running away from that part of the garden.

Those darn squirrels! I've gone through 2 propane tank hoses for my grill in one week! They chewed through them both. Black Master looks great! Looking at the 2nd picture, it looks like you have many more to enjoy. I wish I had that kind of fruit set. I have one plant that has trusses on average with 12 flowers each and only one flower sets fruit.

We have creasy weather. It affects fruit set.
I just purchased hot peppers to try and deter squirrels. I am not giving up. Habanero!

For some reason black varieties are the once that are ripening mostly so far.
Picking fruits a bit underripe due to squirrels infestation.
two more Indian Stripe fruits
two Bear Creek fruits (the biggest is only 14.3 ounces)
Elgin Pink and Carbon

lots of cat-facing on tomatoes (hence pictures are of upside-down fruits)

Marsha, are you starting your fall seedlings soon? How many varieties are you up to?

Ella, I'll start them around the first or second week in September. I havent counted, but I have 3 pages of my composition book filled out, and halfway down the 4th. I'll post my grow list when I get it completed.

Ella, it looks like you are having a banner years for tomatoes. They look great and you have some great varieties.

Turopolje.. Is it productive for you?
