GoBigs 2009 Tomato Journal

[Gobig_or_Gohome_toms]

Here will be my post for my 2009 progress I will try and put updates every 2 weeks to a month.

So far I have been planted out for about 10 days and decided to use miracle grow potting mix with moisture control.... more to come on this it seems to stay to wet but we have not had many days over 70 so I hope it does well when we get the heat.

I have 12 varieties in containers on the ground level and upper deck and 5 in my 2nd year woods project (going with mostly cherries there this year)

The first pick is from 4 weeks ago 2 weeks prior to plant out about 50 seedlings and most found a happy home that did not make it in my garden.

Second pic is my is my hybrid side left Brandy Boy, middle Big Beef, right Sun Gold.

Third pic is my Heirloom side. Left front Black Cherry, Aunt ginny purple, Indian Stripe (made a comeback), Cherokee green, and Eva Purple Ball.

Fourth pic is the left two plants on my upper deck first is Heatwave II and second is Goose Creek.

Fifth pic is right two plants up my upper deck first New Big Dwarf second Solar Set.

Last pic is the woods project got ripe tomatos there last year but not many so went with a few cherries and then F2 cross for seeds and then an extra solar set. In order closest to farthest is: Black Cherry, Sun Gold, Yellow Pear (free store bought tomato plant) A volunteer F2 of my not cherokee green I just hope to harvest some seed, and an extra solar set.

My transplants suffered from being to wet prior to last re-pot with the miracle moisture control and are coming out of it now and I hope they continue to improve. Will post more pics in a few weeks happy tomato growing.
