Sun Gold F1

TNTiger · April 28, 2015

I grew Sun Gold last year and put it in a raised bed which is dedicated for tomatoes. It did well and was a lovely little orange cherry tomato with great flavor. It was was loved by all and requested for this year by friends and family. So while I am growing it again this year I didn't leave room for it in the tomato bed so I either have to put it in a large pot (10 gallon) or in another raised bed which also contains flowers (Easter Lilies, Daffodils and Hyacinths). If you were me . . . where would you put the Sun Gold??

(I should have done a better job editing my grow list but I failed!)

As a side note, prior to growing it last year I recall seeing other people comment about hating all the dropped fruit and resulting volunteers . . . now I understand! I thought I did a decent job of picking up the dropped tomatoes but this spring I keep finding clusters of seedlings attached to a nice yellow/orange skin right in the vicinity of last year's Sun Gold. Too bad the F2s don't grow true! (I bought a new Sun Gold F1 plant for this year).
