Grow again list!
I've grown a few OP varieties for the first time this year that have blown me away by production, fruit quality, and taste. Hoy tops that list for every reason. Barlow Jap and Stump Of The World are on the list because of size, production, and taste as well. Limbaughs Legacy (potato top) is on the list as the most productive with a good taste, but I don't like how late it produces. JD's Special C Tex is on the list because it has all the traits listed plus it has the advantage of being a compact plant. I will probably regrow Indian Stripe because it is such a large dark tomato but it wasn't overly productive. Carbon will return because it is a reasonably early large black with good qualities. I'm sure a few more will make the list after I think more about it.
Varieties I will not grow again though they have proven to be very good tomatoes. Most of these, I have seen for a couple of years and I need to move on and try some other varieties in my limited space. Mortgage Lifter, Tarasenko 6, Hillbilly, Brandwine Pink, Black Krim, Earl's Faux, and Gary O'Sena are on the "don't grow again list" but I haven't decided on KBX. It is such a beautiful totally gold or yellow tomato throughout. We ate one on a salad last night and it looked like mango slices. Even knowing what it was, it was still a surprise to eat a slice and taste tomato instead of fruit. A few varieties that didn't impress me with production, but may still make it back are Neve's Azorean Red, Granny's Heart (If I can find a different seed source), Druzba, and Cowlicks Brandywine, Ted |
