HAVE: Tomato seeds for trade
Comments (5)Oops, your right! I'll fix that. So Brad Gates must have just used it as a parent, but didn't develop Green Zebra itself. Thanks for the clarification. I don't know how I missed that....See MoreHAVE: Update: I still have tomato seeds

Comments (7)Trent, I usually start seeds in Jiffy Mix and pot them up into Miracle Grow. Those happen to be the ones easily found in stores in southcentral OK, and they have worked as well as or better than other mixes. I'd probably use Pro-Mix if it was available here, but it isn't so that's a moot point. I'm inclined to think the issue with your tomatoes is the way the soil is holding moisture, assuming you aren't watering too often. You also can have a lot of seedling death when there is little air flow in the room. Running a fan in the room helps, and I run one 24/7. Keeping the room cool, around 60 to 65 degrees while growing seedlings helps too as plant disease is more common at warmer temperatures. As for Zogola and Berkeley Tie Dye, I've grown them both though not this year and not in the same year and don't remember having any particular issues with either one of them. In fact, Berkeley Tie Dye was fast to sprout and fast to grow and was one of the largest seedlings I had when it was time to transplant into the ground. If I still had plants alive, I'd get them out of that soil-less mix they're in and pot them up into regular old Miracle Grow. Be very careful not to overwater them. Since they seem likely to struggle as the ones have which have already died, leaving them in that soil will not be doing them any favors. Assuming you're growing your seedlings inside, they are too weak and frail for outdoor conditions and surely would die if put outside in the ground without being properly hardened off. The hardening off process would take at least a week to accomplish. Anyway, it is too cold this week to set them out, although a warming trend is forecast to begin soon.

Comments (7)Chapman for me has had firm, smooth, uniform, wide fruit that are about 2lbs, with excellent texture and taste when watered well (a really nice tomato for enormous sandwiches). When not watered well, it was a little mealy, and not quite as large or productive, but still smooth, firm and large. I got my seeds from Cole_Robbie of TV. Perhaps this was midseason to late for me. George Detsikas Italian Red was much tastier and more prolific with less water, but it got very large fruit either way. I got mine from Marsha of TV. It had smoother, more uniform fruit when watered more the first year, and a beefsteak shape the next year when I watered it less. I wouldn't call it early, but it's definitely early for its size. It's probably on the early side of midseadon. I've only grown Cuostralee once, watered a fair amount. It reminds me of a giant-fruited (about 2lbs), later Matina, with somewhat milder taste, and RL foliage. It was doing quite well, and was setting fruit nicely at the end of the season, but it was late for me compared with most varieties. I got my seeds from timeless-tomatoes.com. The fruit were pretty smooth and uniform. PBTD quite underperformed for me the first year, when watered well (it did have medium-sized fruit, but it was so late that I'm not sure if it was done growing), and fantastic (and decently early) the second year, not watered much. I got my original seed from Tormato of TV who got it from someone (seeds were marked 2013). Mine didn't have much hang-time in 2017, but in 2016 I harvested them before they were fully ripe (and they were still quite firm). In 2017, the taste was sweet, but mild; it was extremely juicy, and would have made a great juice tomato. I liked it more for its production than taste, but it did taste good. In 2016, the taste was unripe, but mild; it was decent for the ripeness level....See Moredigdirt2
