Here's my Yellow Plum tomato plant, so far, this year. This picture was taken on 27 May 2020. I'm curious what it's like compared to the two versions of Yellow Pear I've tasted, and how prolific it is compared to those. Offsite articles: • Tatiana's TOMATObase • Dave's Garden Of...read more

Here are my SunChocola F2 tomato plants, on 27 May 2020. I've since thinned it to two plants. I received the seeds from Gardenboy of TomatoJunction, in 2020. These seeds got a later start than most of the other tomatoes, this year. There are wonderberry seedlings with them (the SunChocola ones a...read more

I'm growing the Sprite tomato, this year. I got my seeds from Mumsey of the Organic Gardening Community. She really likes it. It's supposed to be a lot like Juliet F1, except stable with smaller fruits and smaller plants. Here's my plant, this year. This picture was taken on 27 May 2020. Sinc...read more

I've had seeds available to grow the Rutgers tomato for years. I've finally decided it's time. I'm growing a plant, this year. I've heard it's similar to Marion (and I love Marion). I got the seeds from the Dollar Tree (American Seed, packed for 2019; yes, I got new seeds, since the other ones I...read more

This thread is for the Pink Oxheart tomato. I'm growing Pink or Red Oxheart tomato seeds, this year. I was told they were Pink Oxheart, initially, but the label said Red Oxheart , and the fruits were also red, I was told (we shall see). This variety came highly recommended by Mumsey of the Or...read more

Note: This particular thread is a departure from the norm, in that it's just about my growout (not about the variety as a whole). This spring, I planted Crimson Cushion tomato seeds, which started to grow, but they froze. Later, when I thought no more seeds were going to sprout (I only plante...read more

Here's my Queen of the Night tomato plant that I'm growing, this year. This picture was taken on 27 May 2020. Note that the same rock fell on this plant and squashed it twice. The rock was holding up the excess black plastic. I moved it further away after that. The plant survived both times, of ...read more

The Purple Calabash tomato is quite controversial on the website called TomatoJunction (and it was at Tomatoville, if it's not still). A lot of people don't like the flavor at all, but some love it. I decided I might like it, since it's supposed to be prolific and acidic. So, this year, I plante...read more

I was growing Prue, this year. It was leaning over for a long time, and eventually I could tell it had Pythium. So, I pulled it up on the day I took this picture (27 May 2020). Most of the bottom of the plant under the ground had rotted, but it was growing a small new root when I pulled it up. T...read more

This thread refers to the Pink Cheeks tomato as sold at Double Helix Farms .

This is one of the best-tasting tomatoes I've ever had, and probably the most complex in flavor. It's amazing, but not sweet. It's a small tomato, or a large cherry. It's ruffled like a stuffing tomato, but my fruits weren't hollow (although I understand the variety is known to be kind of hollow...read more
