Whatever. Probably maxi grow and maxi bloom.
ETA I've been practicing my garden photo skills, and that one be a bit misleading. Plant was probably 3 or 4 feet tall, and the 'maters a little over an inch long. Last edited by Shrinkrap; May 15, 2020 at 01:10 AM. |

maglia Rosa or Pink Tiger?
Hello friends, could anyone help me out here?
Maglia Rosa and Pink Tiger? Which one do I have in the photo? Just want to make sure before I offer seeds to friends. Anyways, the pink ones here are the best tasting in my garden so far. I will grow them and Blush forever! Last edited by NewWestGardener; September 2, 2020 at 04:03 PM. |

Beautiful. If they taste better, they are Maglia Rosa. Also if they grew on a bushy plant...

2021 is looking good! But I always think that in June.

Maglia in a small window box shared with a couple micro-dwarfs. Another one sharing a bottomless container with a Sweet Slice cucumber. Still another one in a bag elsewhere. Can't think of a better tomato for container growing.

Yay bjbebs! Someone else who loves Maglia Rosa as much as me . I have four plants growing in 3-gallon containers on the deck, and have just harvested the first fruits that blushed to ripen inside and outwit that chipmunk!

@bjbebs , can you describe what you are doing for support in that first picture? I don't have rope fruit but I am pleased with how these Maglia Rosa are responding to the trellis. I swear the small stems and leaves seem to respond to the structure, and curl around it a bit.
Maybe it's just my imagination. Last edited by Shrinkrap; June 30, 2021 at 01:05 PM. |

Smaller size crw cage sits over the pot to the ground. Zip tied to a hog panel. The three ring cage at an angle supports the cucumbers. You can use these cheap three ring cages for Maglia if you double or triple them inside one another. Yes, they are a smaller plant,but can grow 4 feet or so and fill up a 20 inch cage easily. I'll sometimes weave the vines through wire panels. Give them as much air as you can. As you can see, I don't practice what I preach.

Thank you! Since I'm using the fancy tuteur this year, I've been practicing a bit of weaving this year, and I think she looks amazing! Another picture of my "babies". There are two MR's in this planter that has a "self-watering" reservoir.

I just acquired some MR seed in a swap and started one yesterday. It will join the fall tomatoes already in progress; one each Red Siberian, Early Girl and three dwarf tomatoes from Bunny Hop. The dwarfs are Bonté Tigret, BrandyFred and Bushy Chabarovsky, all new to me. Should be a fun fall!
