2017 tentative grow list - Page 13

MuddyToes · February 22, 2017

I got Mayo's delight in the swap. I really want to try it out but don't have room this year. I will carefully store the seeds and hope they are viable next year. I'm a fan of hearts, too. But Wes and Russian 117 won the popularity contest this year.

Ok. Thanks for letting me know I may have to tame a monster.

I wil put RCC in the ground.

The two pastes and SunSugar will go in containers. Any advice on Jaune Flammee, Blush, or Verde Claro?

I'm sure they will be fine. Tomato seeds store very well and remain viable for years.

I'm not Karen but I have grown it for 2 seasons now. It's beautiful, prolific and all my neighbors all love it and request it. Its definitely a conversation starter also. A little on the sweet side but not too sweet.

Here's a picture of one I grew.

I hope you have a great year and lots of beautiful heart shaped tomatoes!

Maya's delight is a beautiful large tomato which tasted me much. The best of the new tomatoes which I grew last year. Yes , I got the seeds from MMMM swap 2014. Tormato sent me more than thirty heart of tomatoes. Maya's delight I grew until in 2016, because I didn´t find any information about him on the Internet. Thank you KarenO and Tormato.

OOOOOhhhh me likey! I've got three of them sowed

Thanks Fiishergurl! I read all about it over on Xanadu and it has quite the history. We are now at what, F8 or F9?

BigVanVader · February 23, 2017

I was excited for this one but I had 0 germination. Oddly 2 of the varieties I was most looking forward to didn't germinate. Maybe next year.

And dry. It gets some sun now that leaves have fallen.

With my phones flashlight this morning i picked and enjoyed a dozen SunGold, November 29th, !!

Sweet Quartz F1 (TGS)
Sun Sugar F1 (Totally Tomatoes)

Bear Claw (tatianna's)
Lucid Gem (Baker Creek)
Sheryl's Portugese Red Heart (sheryl)

You mean Sgt. Peppers? From seeds you got from me? I would like to do a germination test on them if so. Please let me know.

Try looking it up with the spelling Mayo's Delight. (The O at the end of Mayo's not an a) I got my original seed from Tatiana's so she has information on her tomatobase. I have sent it in to the swap a few times and It really does make me happy to think that a little bit of my garden made it all the way to you so far away!. Gary's swap is wonderful indeed!

Marsha- I just planted 4 SGTPeppers (from you) today, I'll let you know how it goes!

So far, after 9 days, I am only 6/16 on the DLH seeds

The six that came up did so within 3-4 days. We'll see!

Darrin, yours, or the ones from Dutch?

Spartanburg123 · February 23, 2017

Yes, from Dutch. I think I may be keeping them too moist, so we'll see. And one of the six appears to be PL, so that may be something

.

What is your germination test? Perhaps I can get some others started. Thanks!

Darin

BigVanVader · February 23, 2017

Yes Marsha from you. I still had about 5 seeds left so I planted them today.
