2014 tomatoes & more

[efisakov]

This year I will attempt to grow a bit more than 40 varieties of tomatoes. Sandul Moldovan will not be one of the survivors.
Few were picked already.
Matina - straggles with invasion of spider mites. I have grown Matina a few years ago. It was early enough and productive for me. The taste was ok for an early tomato. But... Black Cherry is better. So, no Matina next year. Black Cherry was just couple of days behind it.

Cherokee Purple Heart had some bugs penetrating it. I had to cut almost half of two tomatoes picked still somewhat pink. Never the less they were delicious.

Brandywine black had BER on small tomato. Looking forward the big one right next to it.

The 3 Carbon tomatoes picked still pink were more than 30 ounces in total. They will make my BLT tomorrow.

Picked one Cherokee Purple that came from a fused bloom, more than a pound. Ugly looking fella. Will let it ripen inside.

Last but not least is one Vorlon tomato 9.5 ounces. The plant is loaded with more than a dozen good size tomatoes. First time growing. Looking forward to tasting.
