Thanks for bumping the thread; I was looking for it in Atomic Grape.
Anyway, I have 2 plants of BAS (Brad's Atomic Salad) one in an earthbox and one in a root pouch going and one big root pouch with 2-3 BAG (Brad's atomic grape). None of them is ready to eat yet, but my findings are: 1. BAS - Set fruit much quicker than BAG. 2. BAS - Much larger fruit with some of them pear shaped. None of them are shaped like BAG. 3. BAS - Does not start off nearly as dark so much less initial antho. 4. BAS - I think that some of the fruit is full size or almost full size as I write this. 5. BAS - The one in the Rootpouch has larger fruits, even though it doesn't have nearly the same sun exposure as the EarthBox one. Actually, my BAG is just setting a lot of fruit now so none of the tomatoes on it are near full size. This is the 3rd year growing BAG and all 3 years I found BAG is really late which is weird for a small tomato; I'm eating other cherries and BAG is just getting going which I found typical with the other years of growing it. --- While we are on Wild Boar Farms, I'm growing Sweet Carneros for the first time. Robust and prolific plant. Tomatoes are larger than expected; nothing ripe. Also growing Lucid Gem (2nd time) but started in October so behind the others. |

Nice report!
Most F3 BAS thru different shaped tomatoes, mostly rounder, I did have some large grape shaped, but no pear shaped. Let us know how yours taste when ripe. Pics please! Sweet Carneros? I looked at their site, but didn't see it listed. Last edited by pmcgrady; November 29, 2018 at 05:08 PM. |

Interesting. Maybe it’s the angle, but it looks like the antho coloring appears in the stem.

I tried to get a plant of this variety in the ground for years. I finally got two plants to take hold in 2017 and they did very well, with excellent production. Sadly, nobody around here wanted to eat them so they mostly went into sauce. If I ever have a really big garden again, I'll give them another shot.
