Thanks again for the 1894 Purple. It is quite an impressive producer. I just wish the rabbits and squirrels would leave it alone. IMG-20140625-00116.jpg |

yeah, Canadian squirrels love 1884 Purple too. They would even eat green fruit!

The squirrels here were either being fair, or their population was sparse - they kept returning to the same individual tomato (instead of taking a bite out of several), so I just left the damaged fruit hanging in place. 1884 Purple was such a heavy producer that I was able to harvest several fruit for every one I shared with the squirrel(s).

My squirrels favor 1884 Purple, German Red Strawberry, Jaune Flamme, Fish Lake Oxheart and Brandywine Cowlicks. They are always after the low hanging fruit.

Steve,
I have a question about Ania, which I am also growing and is delicious, by the way. The tomatoes from that plant never seem to make it into the house. ![]() Vladimir's leaves appear to be curled and the leaves on my plant are also showing that curled look. I figured my plant was stressed or had a virus (but it's still green and loaded with tomatoes). Is the curled/furled appearance normal for Ania? Lyn |

I am growing Ania for the first time this year (it was my sister's variety) and I don't see much curling on the leaves yet. I do have some physiological leaf roll, but otherwise they look normal. I'm glad the flavor was good for you, I was really impressed at how good it was for an early variety. She is only at F6 so if you get one plant with extra special flavor be sure to save seeds. ![]() Steve |

Yes, that is how they should look. Did you plant those the same time as Moravsky Div and Stupice? I'm curious how much later Ania was for you than Moravsky Div. For my sister they were only a few days later. Also, did you notice any difference in flavor between the stressed plant and the non-stressed plant. It is my theory that a stressed plant produces better tasting fruit, especially very early, or very late, in the season, when night temps are cooler. Thanks, ![]() Steve |

This year what few plants I have are very stressed. They are on auto drip not fertilized and not taken care of one bit. They are doing fine and some of the best tasting sungolds I have ever had. This goes on year after year with me as far as stressed plants are concerned. They taste better. ![]() Worth |
