Wow, I sure wish I had that amount of space. What are your observations/thoughts on Momotaro?

pmcgrady · January 26, 2018

3rd year growing it... round, blemish free, uniform, good tasting market tomato with some disease resistance.

Nice looking list!

In the first row, what is 'NBD'?

What popped into my mind is New Big Dwarf, but I thought it was a mid-to-late season tomato.

Please let us know how Orange Caprese does... I bought the seeds a couple of months ago, but won't be able to fit them into this year's growout.

Awesome list and category break down. Thanks for all the seeds btw, got them yesterday. How does Odoriko differ to Momotaro? I see you brough back Beauty Lottringa; second chance or did you like like it? I though I remember you saying is wasn't that great. Katana looks like a good one as well. Hadn't heard of it. I might have to fit it in this year.

Don't have any comments on Odiriko, first year growing it as most of the Japanese tomatoes. Momotaro has been productive, as I hope the rest of these will be. Most are hybrids though.

Beauty Lottringa ( seeds from you) is a good tomato, big, lumpy, lots of flavor. I plant at least a couple every year.

Hi,

I am curious, do you grow these to sell at market and if not, what do you do with all those tomatoes.

I grow in 28 Earthboxes on two plots of land that are about 18 feet long by 4 feet deep.

Thanks and hope you have a great season.

Can, sell, eat, use to barter ( I trade tomatoes for straw etc.)... and my cousins get a lot of them, they own the property and there is 9 of them, plus their kids and grand kids.
