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 . Pink Cheeks is possibly a translated name for the Rozovyye Shchechki tomato , which is also known as Pink Cheeks (however, the pictured fruits look a little redder than mine in 2016, which were the same color as German...read more

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

If you are a serious gardener who knows onions, you might contact Paquebot of TomatoJunction about Amish Yellow Bottle onions, and help prevent them from becoming extinct. (Edit: You might wait until Paquebot gets more seeds. They're all spoken for as of 31 May 2020.)
It said to be an excell...read more

Alexandria is a pretty cool alpine strawberry. It's the easiest one to grow from seed that I've tried, and germinates abindantly. The flavor is good. Critters probably eat it more than Yellow Wonder.
I have several Alexandria strawberry plants in the garden—some out the front by the flowers, ...read more

I'm growing a plant from a fruit with a very large blossom scar, from the near-multi-flora Brandy Boy cross F2 plant. So, it's F3, this year. Here's a picture I took earlier today:
The plant last year was quite desirable, and pretty much like the Brandy Boy F1 tomato that I grew the same ...read more

Here is my Nineveh tomato plant, so far, this year. I also grew it in 2016, but I overwatered and overcrowded it; I didn't get any fruit. The seeds came from Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds .

Here's my Moonglow tomato, so far, this year. I hear the fruits are particularly high in a certain nutrient found in tangerine tomatoes.

I grew this in 2016, overwatered, and it was one of the most acidic of a very non-acidic batch of tomatoes. It tasted good, and the fruits reliably each had the same a peculiar shape. I suspected it might not be true-to-type (although I'm not sure). So, I'm trying it again from TomatoFest seeds ...read more

I grew the F1 in 2017 (that F1 plant is known as MKX_A), in a shady location by a current bush. It had red, plum-shaped fruit, thicker in the middle than the two ends. They were very sweet, just like Medovaya Kaplya, but perhaps slightly more complex. The F1 was regular leaf.
I'm growing the ...read more

Here's my Malakhitovaya Shkatulka tomato (tr. Malachite Box), so far, this year. I'm really glad about this one. I believe I ran out of seeds. You can see how small it is. A friend of mine really likes this variety. My seeds came from my friend, who got her original seed from me; I got those fro...read more

Here's my Kellogg's Beefsteak tomato, so far, this year. This is from seeds I saved from tasty fruit in 2015. I grew it in 2015, in tough soil, and it didn't prosper, but it did produce a few undersized very tasty fruits. I attribute the lack of vigor and the ...read more
