Good Candidates for PNW Conditions

Sorellina · November 10, 2017

Ciao all-

We finally made the move from Toronto, ON to Victoria, BC & I could use some help with deciding on varieties that grow well in our new climate. If you want to weigh in regarding non-tomato suggestions, I'd welcome that also.

I've still got a bunch of Andrey's Russian varieties to grow out, but I really want to concentrate on dwarfs and determinates for containers for 2018. Our new space is not set up for large indeterminates yet and we may not have the time or funds to get raised beds in place by spring. The move was costly and we've got to be frugal short-term.

I'd also be interested in which of the Dwarf Project tomatoes do well here. I've got a few varieties from way WAY back, but they're at F3 or F4 so I may just send those ones back to Craig. Some of the newer ones have made their way into my seed stash by way of big trades, but I haven't been active on the project for years so have lost the thread of it. I'm really hoping to rectify that in the coming year.

Thanks for any assistance you can provide! I really appreciate it!
