2013 small grow list

tgplp · February 25, 2013

Here is my growlist for 2013, I don't have much room at all, so I am squeezing in as many varieties as I can!

Tomato Varieties:
Azoychka
Berkeley Tie-Dye Heart
Brandywine, Sudduth’s Strain
Cherokee Purple
Chocolate Cherry
Gardener’s Delight
Grub’s Mystery Green
KBX
Kosovo
Medovaya Kaplya
Pink Berkeley Tie Dye
Porkchop
Stump of the World
Sungold
Yellow Brandywine

Super Dwarf Varieties:
Floragold Basket
Hardin's Miniature
Hahms Gelbe Topftomate
Minibel

Dwarf Project Varieties:
Tasty Wine F7
Loxton Lass F6

Crosses (From Chris Kafer)
Chibikko x Sungold F2
Chibikko x Green Zebra F2

I'm going to be crossing some of the "Super Dwarf Varieties" with my "Regular Varieties" but I am not sure what exact crosses I'll make, so if you have any ideas, please tell me! I'd also love any comments on the varieties I'm growing.

Happy gardening!

i know that feels like a small grow list and to some here it may be but you have over 20 varieties!

Hey, Taryn, looks good! I'm doing a couple of those, (Azoychka, Gardener's Delight, maybe Hahms Gelbe), too. How's your greenhouse? Are you planning on growing all those in there?

Not a single large tomato from last year's crop. Did you? Life intervened, and I got practically nothing before late blight. I'm trying mostly earlies this year. I should have my final list by Friday. I'm trying to cut it down now.

That's a huge list to a patio gardener !

I'm excited about the crosses too

Hey Jane, good to talk to you again. The largest tomatoes I got were actually from Cherokee Purple and Azoychka, and nothing else really stood out. Good to see you will be growing Azoychka as well this year. In my garden last year, it was the tastiest tomato, and got very big and meaty. Made great BLTs.

Oh, and no I don't think I will grow in my hoophouse! It was a huge hassle to keep the tomatoes pruned to stay short and disease free in a hot hoophouse! I might grow some dwarf crosses in there though! And tons of lettuce, carrots, and miscellaneous greens. Yum!

You have me beat by 10 varieties. I'm planting 12 different slicers and 2 plants of cherry growout from someone here.
