daylilydude · December 29, 2006

I'm wanting to have about 5 mid season varieties for 2007 which ones would you choose hybrid ,o/p heirloom it doesn't make any difference. Any help would be great.

Thanks

Last year I planted Sioux and it was a very good mid-season tomato.

Based on very limited experience and basically reading endless lists from experts to novices, here is what I'd put in a "midseason" garden in the South...

Azoychka (yellow OP)
Big Beef (hybrid)
Gregori's Altai (pink beef)
Jet Star (hybrid)
Kimberly
Momotaro
Soldacki

Thanks sliphorn, feldon and shelleybean for your suggestions ! I have the Sioux , Azoychka(thanks feldon) and the Big Beef and Kimberly( thanks suze )! That's 4 out of the 5 so i think i'll add pakMor as the 5th one because she really liked those and told me she wanted them again . Thanks again gals and guys!

Richard, I don't know what you call a midseason variety but I call anything between about 65 days and 80 days midseason and that means if I were to start listing faves it would be a very very long list indeed.

Ok Carolyn how about the first 5 that pop into your head no cheating by looking at any of your notes just what pops into your head.

After so many positive words about Tidwell German, I added it to my 24 varieties so now I'm up to 25. Oy vey!

Can't say I've grown alot of varieties, but here's a multi-colored list of some of my most memorable varieties to date.

Black: Paul Robeson
White: Sutton
Green: Aunt Ruby's German Green
Yellow/Gold: Aunt Gertie's Gold
Pink: Marianna's Peace
Red: Wins All (would say this was late-mid)
