Let's talk about Brandywines - Page 6

AKmark · February 6, 2015

I suggest that anyone who cares, grow the different named Brandywine's side by side this year, and lets talk Brandywine's this fall.
I have a bunch of Cowlick's seeds that I will share, and the mother was superior, so much so, that I rooted many cuttings from it and got bumper fall harvests.

I plan on growing many pastes and some sauce, and if they pollinate each other I don't really care, I will just keep using them. I need about 10 years though to find the best of the best for my aera, then that is all i will grow year after year. Saved seed after saved seed. Any that cross and are strange I may throw out, but other crosses will be kept.
Same with peppers.

Best reply today!

This is the Cowlick's that really impressed me. I just can't get Sudduth's to do this

Newgardener, Why? Why the last comment?

FOR THE LAST TIME!!! I'm NOT taking anything away from what he did!! I DON'T CARE!! Don't want to read the story again and again! I don't care where he shipped it. I can do the same. Don't care about the two people in Dave's garden who wrote positive things about it. I understand why he named it as he did. That's not my question! Jeesh!!

For now on it's TOMATO X! Not Cowlicks

Why do I feel as if I have to defend myself every few posts because I asked a question?? And was looking for an answer. That's all I did!

Camo - 'Nowhere have I ever said that Cowlick's Brandywine was a Strain'.

It is listed as a 'strain' of Brandywine.

I don't even want to mention the name or his name again. It's not about that. I just used it because I read his story back on page one and asked one simple question!

Does anyone even remember what I asked?? Does everyone read the entire thread?

gss, you really don't read. Your question is here and the answer is no.

That tomato is not just performed better, it consistently super performed than others and its detailed description got lost!

And Camo didn't grow other varieties and picked the better performer to name a new strain; It is not his common practice;

So you want Tomato X appears on the catalogs? You even dropped the brandywine part. Your naming system is much worse. lol

I have not grown it and forgive me if I seem argumentative, but it just doesn't seem like it has much merit to be yet another strain of Brandywine. Just seems like there are too many strains and it's very confusing to even try to figure them out.

If it had different traits, i.e. foliage, color, I could understand.

Again, I'm just trying to understand this but I think that if someone has an excellent year, or years with a certain variety, the re-naming of tomatoes would be endless. Which it seems the Brandywine line is..

Careful Newgardener!

You're post is confusing.

Ok, so now it 'super performed' better as you say.

What in the world are you talking about??

Most of us hope you are not done Mike!
And by the way, can I get some seed?

Sorry, I couldn't resist...

I don't want to reply your words anymore. My point is to respect/ appreciate other people's time/work/knowledge/contribution.

Good day!

Is this the the thread where someone is giving away seeds of the amazing new cowlick super-strain enhancement of Brandywine that everybody is talking about? I've heard the yield from a single plant will bottom out the springs of an F150!
