My Tomatoes 2012 - Page 2

Thanks for the pic Kath. Wonder if its me or the seed mixed up

Did yours grow out correct?

I don't THINK that I mislabeled or mixed up any plants... I was very careful while planting & strangely well organized. But you never know. A seed could have gotten mixed up somewhere along the way. I will grow more of my original seed again next year & see what comes up!

I'm afraid that these are so tasty I will have to plant them again next year too. I'll call them "not-lithuanian" for my own records and not hand any of the seeds out.

I only grew it once.

Excellent pics! I'll have to try doing that on a plate. They came out so nice. Looks like you two had a great time

. Can't wait to see what you bring to the tomato tasting!
So sorry to hear about Debby Hairy. It would be cool if the egg hatches.

I wonder what will be ripe for the party... 40 tasted, 100 left to try! Hopefully a large bunch will be ripe at the end of the month & ready for their border crossing

Looking forward to seeing everyone again!

Worth - I don't think that you need more varieties to choose from - you have a hard time picking just a few every year! Really, I am just helping you out!

Very nice Nicky!Love the pics on the white plates. I cannot imagine growing that many tomato plants, holy cow!

Next bunch came in a little over a week ago - but hadn't uploaded the pics....
Here are the tasting notes:

We got back from our trip to Remy's tomato party to an abundance of ripe tomatoes... spent yesterday canning these... wish I had this quantity to take to the party!

Nicky, beautiful pictures - I am not sure how I could have missed your thread the first time, and I am sure glad you posted more pictures.

Gorgeous tomatoes!

Fantastic pictures, Nicky- what a rainbow of color and we always like looking! Your Blushes are so pretty and uncracked! I'll check out your reviews to see what your taste favorites are.

More excellent pics!
Blush was well liked at the tomato party. It got votes for sweetest and best.

Thanks for all the tomato porn Nicky! I've enjoyed every bit of it!

nicky · September 5, 2012

I really loved the Blush tomatoes. Funny - at the beginning of the year they were really blah. Tasteless. They looked so pretty, I was disappointed. Each week that has gone by has added to the zing & now they are one of my favourites!

I love tomato porn too!

Awesome pics. Very nice selection as well. I see a few I grew this year and few I didn't but sure will next year. Arbuznyi is one of them. I had some starters but in the end it didn't make the cut.

Goose creek was one I grew one of my top 5 plants it is still kicking butt when others have fallen to the wayside. Love that plant

Great pics

This week's bunch was reviewed by our daughter as well. Her tastes tend to be closer to mine than hubby's. Taste Reviews.

Here are the pics - except The favouritesof the day, Little Lucky and Little Lucky Heart - camera shy for the plate shots, but made it into the review page
