Alaska- greenhouse tomatoes 2014

zero244 · August 5, 2014

Like many I have yet to pick a red ripe tomato. I am growing a OP variety called Sugar Baby, it is suppose to be a cherry size to golf ball size tomato, starting out orange then turning red. It was advertised to be as sweet as a melon. I have eaten a few of them and they are bland and not sweet at all. So I have found the sellers descriptions should be taken with a grain of salt. People should base their decisions more on what actual growers are saying.

I do have a quick question for you, I am assuming you are saving seeds from your harvest.
Have you had much problem with cross pollination growing the tomatoes in close proximity with each other.
Thanks for the picture update on your plants
