Thank for help. I grew from seed. Unfortunately I have about 25 types that I planted 2 each.
They are either Indian Stripe one of the following but I cannot remember if these are PL or not? Prudent's Purple, Brandywine, BrandyBoy, Berkeley Tiedie,

Default Tomato Towers

Due to tomato wilt in the garden, we've been growing tomatoes in 15 gal buckets by the house. They're my sister Pickle's project while I take care of stuff in the main garden. This past weekend she put the "double decker" cages on, cage sitting on cage and tied together with good old baling twine. Not all the tomatoes will top the bottom cage (Pickles still has high hopes) but a few will get half way up the top cage and 'Juliet' will get all the way up.



To keep them from blowing over there are long stakes running through the line of cages and tied to them. Then the stakes are tied to the underlying pallets on each side. With two-way stability we haven't had any more cages blow down in a heavy storm.

The pallets underneath have kept the fire ants out of the buckets. This year Pickles added an old tarp on top of the pallets to keep the grass from growing through.

Thanks NY. Then it’s either BrandyBoy or PP. I do have IS PL but I know whew those are located.

Either way one of these is really doing well in Cypress TX. I have them in a raised bed.
Planted the seeds indoors around Feb 15th and transplanted late March.
I did fertilize at transplant with a couple table spoons of 13-13-13 mixed in the hole.
I did water with Urban Farms TTF once in early April and last week.
But lots of other plants I have are not as productive. So I give more credit to the plant variety.
The plant also resist blight very well. Next to it is a Texas Star plant that is battling blight and I am trying to Daconil, Copper, it to health.

That is a 'Will Rogers' red zinnia. I plant that and 'Daffodil', a solid yellow in a 6' x 3' bed next to the garden and it really attracts a lot of butterflies and other pollinators. If you keep them deadheaded they will bloom for a long time.

Big Beef and Early Doll in raised beds. I had some frost damage and wind damage but most are recovering nicely.

Cheers,
Rick
