A bunch of Kimberly, Sungold, SunPlum PL, SunPlum RL, Bi-Color Cherry, an Aker's West Virginia, and what I think is a ripe Grub's Mystery Green... sorry, no pic yet...

Keep posting!

I had posted some pictures earlier, but thought that I would throw in one more of a very nice Aunt Gertie's Gold, which is an O.P. that was way up there on my taste test list. Probably one of my top three or four. I did save some seeds. I wished later that I had made some pictures after I sliced it. It was beautiful inside, something similar to a great yellow water melon and very meaty without a lot of seed.

Hi. What's the production like on AGG?

Just fair to low, but they do rate very high on my taste test list. My wife and I both agreed yesterday that they would rate a solid 9. One of my DIL's who is here rated it as a 4, but what does she know. She likes the very bland, sweet tomatoes best.
Below is a picture from last year because this has not been a typical year by any means here.

These weren't picked today, but alpiner asked for a pic of a Lemon Boy. It's the top right tom in the pic. The others are Jeff's Mystery Pink Oxheart, Bradley, and a Brandywine.

Thanx Bill P

All washed and drying on the kitchen table:

Brandywine
BrandyBoy
Neves
Pruden's Purple
Kellogg's Breakfast
Golden Jubilee
Marianna's Peace
Magnum
Porterhouse
Big Zac
Big Beef
Jetfire
Momotaro

Now to go back out and pick the cherries...:)

Hey bd I dont think you have enough tomatoes there, lol.

Wow, Big Daddy, those look fantastic and I know from other threads you grow them organically to boot!

Where about in Zone 7 are you?

I thought I recognized Momotaros even without looking at your list. I love that tomato--definately in my top 3. Super sweet with a different kind of taste.

Yes I grow organic.

The Momo's are in row two from the front of the pic. And a couple in the front row too. It is my first year growing Momotaro and I agree they are excellent! I will grow a plant indoors over winter in a sunny bay window so I have samples all winter.

I am in northern Delaware. Barely zone 7. I can spit into zone 6.

I got rid of about half of these today to neighbors. But I'll pick another 40 to 50 tomorrow. The tomato patch peaked two weeks ago. I see a slowdown coming. LOL

Phantom White,

Thanks for taking the time to post a photo of Lemon Boy. It's much appreciated.

I've never grown this variety before. We have one plant and it's groaning with about 3 dozen tomatoes on it. We live in a colder zone but have had a hot summer so far (and long hours of daylight). Lemon boy is our quickest medium or large tomato to reach mature size. We've harvested a half dozen varieties of small cherry, grape, etc. Lemon Boy will be the first variety we can actually slice and take the salt shaker to. I'm a bit surprised it is maturing even quicker than supposedly shorter season tomatoes.

Wow! I ran out to the garden and took these photos....I had so many I couldnt pick them all. I'll pick the rest tomorrow. Send a tomato sauce recipe please.....

ALL GREAT PICTS! BigDaddyJ, your table picture would make a great jugsaw puzzle ;-)

Back Row: Amish Paste (15 oz, 12oz, 1.14 lb, 14 oz, 1.15 lb)
4th Row: Mtn Princess
Center: Cherokee Purple
2nd Row: Jelly Bean Hybrid and Husky Cherry
Front Row: Eggplant Nadia, Eggplant Lavender, Cherry Pepper, Mini Sweet Orange and Zucchini

My Amish Paste is still producing hefty ones. This one weighed in at 15.2 ounces!

And 1 lb 2.2 oz for this one!

penguin, those are huge, did your friend give you saved seeds or original SSE seeds? Are you saying she got them from an SSE member or the public SSE catalog? Those don't look like any Amish Paste I've ever grown... what do the insides look like?

Mark

Mark,

They are huge and we're in disbelief ourselves. My friend says the seeds I got from her are from her packet from her SSE order placed this past spring.

Here's a photo of the very first ones picked off the same plant (I only have 1 Amish Paste in my garden). The green ones were cut by accident when I was harvesting the red ones.

I will get a photo of one cut, um, I can't remember, cut at the equator or long-wise for the photo? I will also ask my friend how her Amish Paste are doing.

Green Giant x Cherokee Green F1's
they vary because CG is not stable

Hey Hortist, I tried to smash that bug for you but he wouldn't hold still LOL

Those look really intriguing. How do they taste?

I didnt think bugs were possible inside my computer...

The green ones are really no big deal. Bland if not for the seed gel.

The yellows are very nice. Predominately tart but some sweetness too.

Here is Spark's compared to other lines (yellow and a pink red)

Sparks has a dusky tangerine color. It had no perceivable sweetness to it. It did brix at 6.7 which is actually rather high for large tomatoes.

{{gwi:2104699}}

{{gwi:2104700}}

Hortist, I'm interested in the names of those tomatoes, specifically the red. Thanks :)

Those Amish Pastes are beauties and I can't wait till next year when I can grow some of those whoopers myself but this little dandy will hold me over for a while. It's a Black Krim and the first Heirloom to ripen, ahhhhhhhhhhhh it's so pretty. :D

Black Krim

They're taking over my kitchen table!

Mike

Can you tell that green is my favorite color? A few Green Zebras with their companions...a bell pepper, salsa peppers, and a cuke.

Keep the porn coming.

Of particular interest are the 2 multiflora clusters. The SuperMultiflora the fruits are about 2.5" to 3" each (almost as big as Golden Queen next to it) and had 23-24 fruits on one cluster. The Quartz Multiflora were pink cherries and around as many as 50 fruits per cluster.

Hmmm I though I had posted text with it.

The orange one is Sparks.

The yellow, BL6 is a bicolor variant that came from Brandywine x Cherokee Purple.

The pink is a little more complex.

"Dr Walter" is a popular red type in New Zealand farmer's markets.

Here is one of the DrWB10 lines. It loads up with fruit and this is a shadier spot in my garden.

Wow! I aspire to grow such great looking varieties. I've got five ark. travelers starting to bloom for a Fall crop. The plants look great. I've got a lot of different heirlooms planned for Spring.
You guys must supply your local farmer's markets especially Korney.

Haven't got much to brag about as mine are just now coming in to ripen. Korney, love the variety you have there. the pics are great.
Big daddy, seeing all them brandy's made me soooo jealous,lol.
Good luck with harvest all!!

Here is a link that might be useful: 8/26 harvest

Hi All! Just picked from garden. All six varieties are producing.

larry

Just picked 15 minutes ago. A Mortgage Lifter and a Yellow Brandywine-

Here are is a pic of stupice, sun gold, sun sugar and super sweet 100's, a plant that popped up next to my lemon tree where I grew them last year. The sun gold and sun sugar are identical in color and size. I like the sun sugar better than sun gold.

this is a neat thread, I love seeing what others have!! bigdaddy your toms are amazing! zack, your romas look like yams!!!!

here are my pickings for this week, they seemed to pop all at once practically... I'm learning to can tomorrow!

Hi All this is the secound picking of the garden for preserving. It has been kept picked and eaten and give away clean until now when it's time to save some more for times to come.










so hows your harvest abundance comming. larry

Buck,

Me too, enjoying the pictures! Yours look great too. I have about 100 tomatoes on my table at the moment. My plants are still cranking...:)

lkittle, nice haul!

Hi All! Well its time to finish the harvest to preserve. We have 69 quarts so far and 60 blanched frozen bags quart size and 19 fresh frozen gallon ziplock bags.




bag with peppers for flavoring.



These five bags.




This final six bags.

Hi All! Miss counted the bags of tomatoes Three were counted twice so the total is eight bags. To date (09/21/2007) we have done 98 quarts of tomatoes and are out of jars. We figured that will be enough for a while.

Larry, those all Moreton's?

Mark

HI Mark! Na I planted 6 large and medium size varieties and the grandsons and daughter mixes them all up when picked. I'll list the varieties here.
1. Beefmaster (large variety)80 day Indeterminant
2. Better Boy (large variety)75 day Indeterminant
3. Celerbrity (medium-large variety)72 day determinant
4. Moreton Hybrid F1 (small-medium variety)70 day indeterminant (Harris Seed Co exclusive)
5. Jet Star (small-medium variety) 75 day indeterminant (low acid?)(Harris Seed Co.)
6. Supersonic (medium size)78 day indeterminant (Harris Seed Co.)

All these tomatoes are similar in taste and texture when grown in the soil where I live. Its a clay base heavy soil. I use peat moss and worm castings as soil amendiments. No chemicals. I water with treated Lake Onterio Water and of course rain. I have had no disease problems to speak of and am luckey so far.
My wife as she processes the harvest she mixes all the different up. what she grabs is whats in the jar/freezer bag.

If I can figure out how to get photo's from MY PICTURES on this GW Tomato board. I know how to insert in a PM but just can't seem to get it to GW I'm sure some would be interested,especially PNWers in my Sunset Red Horizon Tomatoes that I started in the garden from seed.I have been eating from the plant for about 3 weeks but yesterday I picked 8 fruit.These are monster size tomatoes,weightwise. I have read they are heavy in hand and it's true.

You need to upload the pics to the internet, then link to them or post the correct html code for them to show up in the thread. Often, your ISP (internet service provider, like AOL, earthlink, time-warner, etc) gives you space for a "Home Page" and you can upload your pics there. If not, you can sign up for free hosting at places like photobucket.com, imageshack, etc. Then upload the pics from your My Pictures folder... then point to them using links or place them right in your post by using the img src= "http://www.thepic'slink.com/picture'sname.jpg"; with everything (including img src=) inside arrows. ()

So everything would be typed like this:

but with no space between

Photobucket & the other pic hosting places usually list the actual code that you can copy & paste in your post so the pic shows up.

Hope this helps.

Mark
