Return of the queen
Caspian Pink is starting to do its thing and is surpassing all varieties again yield wise, they are just massive yielders up here for me.
The second pic. is Rozovyi Myod, it is also setting big tomatoes for me. The last is NAR, doing what it supposed to do. Tracy, people do stop by for heirlooms. We also can about 75 quarts of Spaghetti sauce, all done with the best tasting tomatoes, and peppers. We also can about 100 quarts of juice/ slop for soups during winter.

Wow! So many beautiful tomatoes, do you grow for market or are all the lovely tomatoes for your own food use? I realize the Alaska winters are brutal so you'd need to stock up a LOT. I'd imagine there nothing like a nice hot tomato soup that tastes like summer while it snows outside.

Just tomatoes
The Brandywines are yielding way beyond expectations, while yellow and orange beefsteaks are slow to set as usual, I cannot figure out why either. Like last year about the time I get ready to throw them out they should set a bunch of fruit. I have Aunt Gertie's Gold, Golden Queen, Yellow Brandywine, others of like, an exception is Azoychka and it is already loaded.

Plants
Here is a pic of a monster yielding NAR, a pic. of Delicous and a pic of ripening brandywines.
Has anyone ever grown Large Red from Tomatofest seeds? I have a couple and they are blowing me away, the huge stems, vigor, and fruitset is amazing. Now I just hope they taste great. |

Fred Limbaugh RL and PL
I noticed that Fred L. RL has much more irregular shaped fruit than the more common PL version.
