My 2011 tomatoes

[MargeH]

I have signs of tomatoes on about half of my plants. Last year's garden was the best I have had in years because I didn't lose any plants to TYLCV until October and then only three.

I don't expect to be that lucky this year because this spring has started out much warmer than last year and the white flies will be moving in soon (if a few aren't already here). I never get overrun with them, but it only takes one fly to spread the virus. I usually start seeing signs of it the end of March or early April (I am already keeping an eye on a Brandy Boy; I am not as familiar with the signs of the virus in PL plants, though, so I haven't made up my mind to pull the plant yet, especially since it already has several tomatoes set on it).

Here are pictures of a few plants that I took this afternoon. Plants are Indian Stripe, Red Brandywine, Sungold, an Unknown, New Big Dwarf and Tony's Italian.

I had a labeling disaster with one batch when I potted up. The marker that I used faded and I don't know the variety of about 5 of my plants. I know what I planted so hopefully at some point I can identify some of them.
