They grow like a lot of the other elongated pastes -- whispy foliage on a vining plant that can grow quite tall very quickly! Production was the same as most other varieties in my garden last year -- good, but not great. Tomatoes were very dense and meaty with good flavor for a paste, not like some pastes with little to no flavor until you cook them. Someone sent me the seeds as part of an SASE offer I did a few years back and last year was the first time I got around to growing them. |

God grief, I think you need some counseling.
I didn't have time to go through it and take a good look but will do so when I have time. I don't have a clue as to what I'll have here at home right now and someone else grows the plants for me and Freda takes care of them for me, but they will all be new ones from my seed offer if I ever get that posted. I reserved a place for my 2015 seed offer in the trade subforum, and I'm a week later than normal but some other personal medical issues have come up so right now I have no idea when I'll get it done.

Hi,
Here's my list so far. I just finished planting 2 seeds each of the following 30 varieties: Blacks Bear Creek Margaret Curtain Dana's Dusky Rose Carbon BKX Gary'O Sena JD's Special-C Tex Hearts Donskoi Lee's Sweet Wolford Wonder Work Release Paste German Red Strawberry Wes Russian 117 Misc. Colors KBX - Orange Captain Lucky - Tri-Color Lucky Cross - Bi-Color Virginia Sweets - Bi-Color Reds Dona F1 Red Barn Pinks Bradley Cowlick's Brandywine German Johnson Crnkovic Yugoslavian Goose Creek Wins All Purple Dog Creek Daniels African Queen Cherry Sweet Linda I'm planning on grafting all of my plants this year and I only have enough rootstock started for 1 each of the 30 varieties listed above. Once I can get some more rootstock started (seeds on backorder), I'll be adding a dozen or so new varieties to the list. That's the plan anyway... Anne |

This year I am going to try to grow only these.
Slicers (my wife and I work together and people think we are nuts because we eat only tomato and mayo sandwiches for months, LOL) Suddiths Brandywine Cowlicks Brandywines KBX Cherokee Purple For Sauce (we freeze about 20 gal bags each year) San Marzano Redorta San Marzano Roma (taste is blah, but they have a lotta meat, low moisture) Bronkenbar's Costuluto Genovese and Sweet 100 cherrys by the back door for ease of snacking But then I will be at the local farm store and in a weak moment I will give in to my addiction and have to buy some more plants even though I grow all my own plants and give many more plants away than I grow? I don't make sense

Thank you for starting this thread. I love reading everyone's grow lists. If I could I'd probably grow them all, but that's not realistic, so it's nice to see who is growing what so if I am particularly curious about a variety I know who to ask.
Here's my list. I'm going cherry and dwarf heavy this year, but I'll still have some beefsteaks for BLTs To get all these in my yard will ride upon my success adding an RGGS PVC pipe system with root pouches. Asterisk signifies that I've grown it before. Dwarfs: Summertime green dwarf* Rosella purple dwarf* Dwarf arctic rose* Sweet scarlet dwarf Dwarf kelly green Medium sized: Green Zebra Cherry: Sungold* Rose Quartz Multiflora* Black Cherry Green Zebra Cherry Pink Bumble Bee Green Doctors Tschalma Evans Purple Pear* Beefsteak: Caspian Pink* KBX* JD's Special C-Tex* Vorlon* Kentucky Beefsteak Peppers: Aji Dulce Anaheim Lemon Drop Some kind of paprika pepper I don't remember the name Veggies & other: sugar ann snap peas* delikatesse cucumber* striata di italiana zucchini* Italian fennel craupadine beets chives garlic shallots lemongrass* thai basil* lemon basil* Last edited by Vespertino; January 18, 2015 at 09:12 AM. |

My tomatoes had to be cut back a bit to allow room for more peppers this time. Most will be eaten fresh but I'll can and freeze some of the beefsteaks and dry a lot of the cherries for later.
Stump of the World African Queen Lillian's Yellow (new to me this season) Elfie Green Giant Rose Quartz Multiflora (I've grown the regular but not the multiflora) Galina's Green Doctors Frosted (I've grown the regular but not the frosted version) I'm also starting some New Big Dwarf seedlings for friends who grow in containers. I might pop one into the half whiskey barrel I have back by the shed, just to try it.

I just posted my list an hour ago and since then, I've added Dester, so who knows what will end up in here!

Fathers Daughter,
What is your dad(or you) doing different in your gardens? I would compare notes! I'm just curious |
