Russo Sicilian Togeta - 1 plant, 33 fruit

Father'sDaughter · July 7, 2012

I realized today that one of my two Russo Sicilian Togeta plants had loaded up with fruit over the past week. I could hardly believe it! Today's count was 33, and there are easily that many blossoms in various stages of blooming. This was grown from seeds received from Brokenbar.

Photos start from the bottom and work their way up.

Interestingly, it's sibling planted right next door only has about six fruit, but is just now starting to pump out flowers like crazy.

These have recieved glowing reviews from Brokenbar, and I'm really anxious to see if they live up to their reputation!

I have several of these too, they are definately productive. One of my plants has this really odd supercluster, lol..... and sadly, even these get BER as seen below.

Wow! I hope the BER passes and doesn't get all the tomatoes. I've never seen it on anything other than plum tomatoes. I'll have to keep an eye out for it.

I've had it on lots of beefsteaks and this year on a cherry tomato variety!

Yep, that is a weird looking case of BER, isn't it? I did a double take when I first saw it, and two of them had it actually, I tossed one and took a photo of that one.
