The Elimination Game

george k · September 11, 2015

I want to grow the following large red/pink varieties and only have room for 5 plants. I have narrowed my choices to the following 6:

NAR
Red Barn
Cuostralee
Wes
Earl's Faux
Purple Dog Creek

So, if you had to eliminate one, which would it be?

I would have to cut Earl's Faux. But man you have some good choices.

With a list like that, I'd do tighter spacing.

Can you double up on 1 earth box?

Drop Red Barn. NAR is the superior red tomato!!

Find a 5 gallon bucket

I'd ditch Red Barn. I got low yield and catfaced fruits from it.

I don't agree with some of the comments made above, but what's new with that,

, and I'd ditch Purple Dog Creek, and yes, I've grown all of them, most of them many many many times.

Me too! Or put one in a container on the porch, or something.
