What is making a return to your garden in 2016? - Page 18

spuriousmonkey · April 21, 2016

I have a lot of old faces among the crowd.
stupice
Sibirskiy Skorospelyi
black cherry
anna russian
bananalegs
sungold f1
glacial zebra
knopka
Red striped students
skykomish (only because I didn't manage to obtain seeds from it the previous year)
goldkeeper (same reason)

I hardly have new varieties this year as a matter of fact.

barefootgardener · April 21, 2016

Here are a few returns and favorites for my 2016 garden..

Tree Bottom Yellow
Purple Dog Creek
Margaret Curtain
Brandywine
Brandywine Cowlicks
Brandywine Suddath
Madame (Marmande) Garnier Rouge
German Johnson Potato Leaf
Greenbush Italian
Amish Paste
George Ditsikas (Did not do well last year, but, giving it another try)
Neves Azorean Red

I might have left a few off the list. I had planned on bringing a few others back because they did well for me in my garden and I loved the flavor, (Like Red Barn)
but, I wanted to try a few new to me varieties that I heard good things about.

I am growing a number of new varieties this year that I purchased or received in trades, or from the generous good hearted folk here at Tville..

I also have a number of new ones that I purchased, but, decided to wait to grow out next season. I have already started more than I planned on, and at times have already felt over whelmed. I am giving away a number of my plants.

PS: I dropped Sungold F1 after growing it for a number of years. I loved it, but, I had so many cherries off of it last season, and I found myself getting sick of the sweet flavor. Trying a few new ones. I am also bringing back Coyote and Champagne

Once again most of my plants are new to me this year. I do have a few coming back and they are:

Cherokee Purple
Daniel Burson
Limmony
Stump of the World
Sun Gold
Sun Sugar
Black Cherry

eldemila · April 23, 2016

It seems Black Cherry is a favorite comeback of many, myself included.

Making a comeback for me this year is Green Zebra (the only plant I have 2 of), Black Krim, Isis Cherry, Sweetie Seedless, Chocolate Cherry, Sweet Pea, Aunt Ruby's Green, Malakhitovaya, Chocolate Stripes, Black from Tula and possibly Cherokee Green- which I can't remember if I grew last year, or not.

Appreciate all who replied to the OP's question as it helped me to decide some of the new varieties I would plant this year!

I grew Opalka for sauce, nice tomato! Some have had BER problems with it. I have had little to none myself.
Opalka

I also liked Romeo. It produced fairly steady early season along with Opalka.

It is so encouraging to read everyone's lists. Even most of the Master Gardener's around here don't grow as many types of tomatoes and peppers as I do, but some of you have left me in the dust. I know it is not a competition, but fun to see many familiar varieties on many lists.

Here is my list- I plant to plant at least two of each
Big Beef
Mortgage Lifter
Amish Paste
Yellow Mortgage Lifter
Sungold (F1)
Pompeii(F1) indeterminate paste
Peppermint
Opalka
Chocolate Cherry
Early Girl(F1)
Reinstraub

Peppers- we don't like much heat
Yum Yum(F1)
Round of Hungary
Sheepnose Pimento
College 64
Cubanelle
Carmen(F1)
Neapolitan
Oda
Golden Treasure
Stocky Red Roaster
Jalapeno

I also grow ground cherries and have grown pineapple and Aunt Molly's and could not tell the difference when grown side by side. Now mostly let volunteers grow so don't really know the heredity.

marc_groleau · May 5, 2016

Except for a cross between Rose de Berne and Prudens Purple, all varieties this year are repeats.
Eva Purple Ball
Rose de Berene
Prudens Purple
Dester
Gregory's Altai
Stump of the World
Aunt Ginny's Purple
Aunt Rubys Gernan Green
Roma
speckled Roman
Russian Big Roma
Black Cherry
2 dehybridized cherries I've grown for five seasons now

efisakov · May 5, 2016

How good was the taste/production/earliness/size of the plant/anything else you like to add ... about Rose De Berne? I am growing it for the first time.
Thank you, Marc_groleau.

Adriana · May 5, 2016

Nothing is returning to my garden this year - not my old favorites Cherokee Purple, Green Zebra, Japanese Black Trifele or Black Cherokee.

I have limited sunlight so I am rolling the dice for 6 dwarfs plus Orange Jazz, Grandpa White's Red Tomato and 2 other new ones. I hope I will not be diappointed!
