Limei,
Thank you for the feedback. "Floradade" (aka "Flora-Dade") is an impressive old-timer (1976?) and it's good to hear it did well for your mother. It has done well here in both greenhouse and field, and it seems to have some disease tolerance built in. Interestingly, for me, the early season Floradade tomatoes were better tasting than those harvested later in the season - the opposite of other varieties. Some of the newer creations from Randy Gardner should also do well for your mom. I need to try them myself. Check out: http://www.tomatogrowers.com/MOUNTAI...ductinfo/3213/ Did the OP version of "Fourth of July" do anything for you or your mom? I appreciate any feedback (good or bad) on it's performance. Thanks! Steve |

Compared to what you are probably seeing on Sweet Scarlet Dwarf, Summertime Gold is a slightly taller plant with smaller PL foliage. But, all of the project Dwarfs have that distinctive, "cute" look going for them. ![]() Steve |

As for my Coorong: nothing eats it. I think because of the very strong deep deep tomato taste. I am going to bag the whole plant today out of this netting metrial that the sun can get through for the new forming flowers.

Joyce, your grandchild has good taste - I think Craig and Patrina are anxious to stabilize Sweet Scarlet Dwarf and get it released to the public. Hopefully, in a few years it will be available to everyone, it is a very good tomato. It sounds like you are having fun working on the project!

Yes, I am having much fun with my first out-side project.
I hope it "will not" take that long.

I just looked it up on Tatianas date site to see your decription of the plant. You are right is a beautiful plant but not as beautiful as the Sweet Scarlet. Here is her pictures on the plant.
http://t.tatianastomatobase.com:88/wiki/Summertime_Gold I am so pround of you-all research, because many people are living in apartments, but wants to grow tomatoes. You-all research is giving them this oppurtunity, I am glad to finaly help out, . I never thought this project would be so joyful to my soul.

SharonRossy,
You should try Green Zebra Cherry (and Heritage sells it), it's been fabulous this year. So prolific and SWEET! It has gone on my "grow every year" list. |
