Thought i'd share the last tom for 2006.This is one of the hybrids grown. My best understanding is this is a celebrity/Monte carlo.Thin skin,lots of flavor,and soft flesh.They're great for sandwiches,but don't fare well in a grilled cheese. Image link:

Last Yr's Late Blight- any prep needed this year?

One point you'll find mentioned in the previous discussions Karen is to pull/remove/destroy any volunteer potatoes. p.infestans can only over winter in live tissue so any missed potatoes that remained in the soil need to be destroyed. And, if you are going to grow potatoes this year don't use any of your saved potatoes from last year for seed - get new. Course if you didn't grow potatoes - no problem - ignore this and look forward to a great NEW gardening year like the rest of us are. ;) Dave

Late season tomatoes ripped BEFORE early season tomatoes

Daniel, I have experienced very similar results this year in northern MN. All seeds were started at the same time, planted out at the same time, and treated the same. 2 of my early varieties (Glacier & Bloody Butcher) did beat Cherokee Purple, but only by 8 or 9 days. About 10 days after the 1st early small tomatoes, I picked a Giant Belgium that weighted 1# 8oz. At about 2 weeks after the earliest fruit, several 1# plus C.P. were being picked. The 1st fruit from my "Early Pick" variety were just starting about this same time. However, other large varieties, are very late. Mortgage Lifter, Black Krim, Super Steak, Super Beef Steak, are all very Sloooow. All plants are growing in the same conditions. This is the Giant Belgium that was only about 10 days behind to early little tomatoes: A very strange year.

Tomato reseeded in EarthBox... now what?

Sweet 100s are, I believe, F1 hybrids and, as a result, can volunteer in different forms. The result may not just be distinguished in the kind of fruit, but also in the productivity and the health of the plant. Volunteers from hybrids can have dismal productivity. That being said, Sweet 100s are gardened a lot, and stories of volunteer Sweet 100s come back usually positive. But unless the hybrid has been "stabilized", you can get very different things from different seeds. So it's a fun game but, when it's done, you really haven't learned anything.

I really like those tomato flowers, but what did you sprinkle on them? Not just salt, it's got a different color.

Tomato season in Michigan is a few months away, but I can plan ahead!

LOL Shaun. Yes DcArch, what is that green stuff? Basil salt?? Wasabe? lol.. My money is on basil salt. I think Shauns gonna lose with green sprinkles.. lol..

I love the cubes. Cool idea. I love the yellow tomato peekin out the side. I love any yellow/gold tomatoes. Orange too. With our nice good South Jersey dirt they still have plenty of good taste to them. Your green varieties are nice too. Did I mention the dark little cherries on your other thread? LOL.. I could go on... and on... ad nauseum.
