Default My 2018 Tomato Season in Review

Hi All,

The 2019 season is about to start here (I sow seeds internally on March 1st) so I'd like to record my 2018 experience before anymore of it gets forgotten.

First and foremost, I would like to thank again those among you that generously shared and contributed seeds of new varieties tested last summer.

The 2018 season was challenging, by April mold had decimated most of my plants and in the heart of the summer, record heat and humidity killed flower clusters on many plants, so production was not as good as 2017.

Seeds planted in 2018 were for the following varieties (2-3 seeds per type):

Whiskey Jack (WJ)
Golden Cherokee (GC)
Silver Fir Tree (SFT)
Tasmanian Chocolate (TC)
Maglia Rosa (MR)
Bulgarian Triumph (BT)
Indian Stripe PL (ISPL)
Daniel Burson (DB)
Margaret Curtain (MR)
Omar's Lebanese Heart (OLH)
Black Krim PL (BKX)
Kumato (bought from nursery)
Lucky Tiger (bought from nursery)
Maglia Rosa (bought from nursery)
Cherokee (bought from nursery)
Yellow Pear (got it via exchange with a friend)

*those in red did not make it to the garden, MG seeds did not germinate and the rest were decimated by disease.

...and so it began, seeds germinated with tons of snow still outside of my window



and for a while I was a happy man



when out of the blue, a mysterious disease started attacking the plants via the leaf drying, it up to the main stem, from the bottom up



Come early May, this is what was left of those March seedlings...a shadow of what they should have been!



My primary suspect appears to be mold that went unnoticed until it was too late
