Siletz

[cecilsgarden1958]

I'm planting 4 Siletz this year. How does it handle blights and weather?
Also growing 2 Celebrity, 3 Mountain Pride, 3 Carolina Gold and 1 Biltmore.

I grow it every year, it's a early tomato for me. I have some that are starting to turn color, will probably be enjoying them and a couple of weeks. Mike

Siletz is a blight on my tastebuds, if that answers your question.

Siletz was nicely cold tolerant for me. The foliage health was not great and I had a lot of splits, but that was planted in small pots and without extra ferts at ripening time as I do now to keep the plants healthy.
I thought the fruit were decent tasting - on the tart side. Not a favorite but they rated well in comparison to early red tomatoes that were bland or mealy instead!

If you want a cold, wind, and any miserable weather tolerant plant, try Dingwall Scotty. However, the flavor, on the low end of the scale, is not describable.
