I haven't counted but so far ISPL and Mat-Su are in the lead.

Gardeneer · June 3, 2017

My current leaders are :
1-Brandy Boy (too many to count . First one blushing )
2- Esterina F2 ( maybe 200 and more blooms . it fruits like multiflora )
3- IS-PL
4- Stupice
4-Sungold

I planted 4 plants on the second planting:
Big Beef is loaded again, BB is very impressive with its production
Chapman had two toms the first time, second time has 4 toms
Neves AR had two toms the first time, second planting it is loaded with over 10 toms
Daniel Burson (regular leaf) had 5 toms, second planting is a potato leaf and it has 15 or more
The regular leaf Daniel Burson was a really good tasting tomato, kinda hard to beat.

The first one pounder of the year award goes to Kellogg's Breakfast.

The one on the left weighs in at just a bit over one pound, the other one is just under one pound. This is probably the only one pounder I will have this season.

We had 4 or 5 days of hard rain and everything is splitting.

Darn it I lost count today.

I went out and picked a four gallon bucket heaped full and forgot to put down what I picked. Oh well now I can stop with all that extra work. I will be able to remember most of the ones that did great and most of the ones that did poorly and that is all that really matters to me when I go to make my decisions of how many of each to plant next year. An even more important factor is flavor. I regrew a couple of varieties that did really good a few years ago but their flavor was slightly under par so I will really be checking their flavor this year.

So far this year production and size have been scary good despite losing several dozen fruits to worms. So, I have been knocking on wood and keeping my fingers crossed. I can't help wondering what is coming around the bend to mess it up. I guess 40 years of growing tomatoes down here makes one a bit leary.

Bill- I agree- it's been almost TOO good so far! My fruits were slower to set this year, but they are coming on strong now. Other than a hornworm problem, no issues really. I've been staying ahead by spraying Daconil and Neem oil whenever I can- so far so good!

My tomato flowers haven't bloomed yet, but I've got some, including a few of those big, dandelion-looking ones (on Aussie and one or more others). We'll see when the fruit arrives, this year. Other varieties that I remember I noticed flowers on (I didn't check them all) include Black Beauty and Pink Berkeley Tie Dye.

BigVanVader · June 8, 2017

Yeah mine were later to set but now loaded. May be my best year ever if I can keep disease away. Weather here is phenomenal so far.

Just seeing first truss blossoms now. Some are spectacular and there's a double, possibly triple fused on a Crnkovic Yugo from AKmark.

An 11 oz tomato from my year-old Uluru Ochre plant, picked Sunday, eaten last night along with a smaller brother. Note to all: indeterminate dwarf plants don't stay dwarf in the second year, if you can get it there. It's 6 ft tall now, and loaded with fruit.

It was delicious. A delightful surprise to have it come back as it did.

Gardeneer · June 15, 2017

I did get a good haul today. But did not count or weighed.

Looks great! I am so ready. I did pick my first 2 tomatoes this morning but still a couple of days away from eating.
