YOUR Tentativ Grow out ... for 2016 season

Gardeneer · November 13, 2015

For most of us our next season is 4-5 months away. But some Texans , eg, are getting ready to germinate seeds. Like Worth mentioned somewhere that he will start germinating around Thanksgiving. That is just around the corner.

I, myself, have a tentative grow out list shown below:

1-AZOYCHKA
2-BETTER BOY (F1)
3-BIG BEEF (F1)
4- BLACK FROM TULA
5- BLACK SEAMAN
6- GREEN COPIA
7- BROWN HEART
8- HAHMS GELBE T.
9-INDIAN STRIPE
7- INDIGO APPLE
10- KUMATO (F3)
11- NEW BIG DWARF
12-OLD GERMAN
13- PURPLE HEART, dwrf
14-REISENTRAUBE
15- SAKHARNYI ZHELTYI
16- SILETZ
17- WILLAMETTE
NUMBER OF TOTAL PLANTS : ~= 26. This should leave me some room to have fun in the sun.

I like to see which varieties are being popular . I believe in peer polling. Of course, I always do screen and pick what I like. Everything in my list, above, has been selected on the same basis.

OK. Are you ready to get published ?

Gardeneer.

PS: If I grow a total of 26 plants and dedicate 3 sq-ft per plant in the raised beds, that will take up 78 sq-ft. That is almost 50% of my raised beds area. The other 50% is for all other garden veggies.

I've received lots of interesting new to all or most ones from Romania and the Czech Republic and expecting new ones from France and Spain as well and others also expected.

But no, no list of ones to be grown out in 2016 yet.

On your list above I see Indian Stripes (plural) and the only place I know of, offhand, that spelled it that way was a typo from Sandhill Preservation.

I'm going to say that I'm ready in hopes that I won't accumulate any more new varieties before spring sowing time.

In 2016, I plan to grow out all the paste types I have if I can fit them. In addition, I'm growing the best of the tomatoes I've tried so far. One small order "happened"...so there are a couple new ones that aren't pastes.

Abbattista
Andes
Andine Cornue
Barlow Jap
Big Ray's Argentina
Blackberry
Black Star
Carol Chyko's Big Black Paste
Casino
Chico Grande
Cornuto Delle Ande
Cow's Tit
Cuore del Drago
Cuore Di Bue Albenga
Daniel Burson
Dinofrios German
Elgin Pink
Faelan's First Snow
Fish Lake Oxheart
Franchi Red Pear
George O'Brien
Gildo Pietroboni
Goldman's Italian American
Howard German
Idaho Hillbilly
Indian Zebra
Kenosha Paste
Liguria
Martino's Roma
Negrillo de Almoguera
Not Purple Strawberry
Owen's Purple
Pearly Pink Orange
Petrovich
Polish Linguisa
Rebel Yell
Red Pear (Giant) Gransasso Strain
Romeo
Ropreco
Rosalie's Paste
Rozella
Santa Maria
Sarnowski Polish Plum
Shannon's
Sherrill
Sungold F1
Terhune
Vidoje's Surprise
Work Release Paste

Great looking list Kath and I should have some of the ones that you list that Roberta in Italy sent me that you did seed production for me and also sent me fruits so I could compare them with her descriptions in my upcoming seed offer.

But you didn't list Opalka, which is one of my most successful tomato kids.

But you did list Sarnowski Polish Plum, and another of my tomato kids and I do wish more folks would grow that one, especially when they see the doubles and even tripled fruits that it can give.

Just an anecdote, but Barkeater who used to post here a lot is with Homeland Security on the Canadian border and who comes through but Mike Sarnowski, Ed recognizes the name and says are you related to that tomato variety and Mike says yes I am.

I counted my peppers last night....65 varieties, none of them bells.

The tomato list will get a lot longer when the seed swap seeds come back.

jmsieglaff · November 13, 2015

Well my list isn't set in stone, but nearly so. It is nice that it is mid November and hasn't felt much like winter yet. My list is smaller than most on here, but it is a good size list for us, for the room we have, and the other crops I like to grow.

2016 is the year of the cherry tomato in our garden. * denotes new to our garden.

Wisconsin 55
Stupice
Green Giant*
Rosella Purple (dwarf)*
Jeremy's Stripes (dwarf)
Black Krim
Sungold
Sunsugar*
Carbon Copy
Experiment Yellow PL Cherry
Mexico Midget*
Sunrise Bumblebee*
Frosted Green Doctors*
Teensy F2 (dwarf project)*
Blush*

ContainerTed · November 13, 2015

About 100 or so plants from different project dwarfs. And another 60 big plants. And at least one new cross. Still have to put names to the garden locations, but I have a while to get that done.

A hint or clue to my list is "I love good tasting beefsteaks". Henderson's Pink Ponderosa will be on the list for sure.

gssgarden · November 13, 2015

Off the top of my head....

Numerous Indian Stripe - Flavor that blew my mind!

Numerous Big Beef - because it's awesome

Numerous Shannon's - Made sauce with just Shannon's only and it made a big difference.

A few KBX - had crop failure this year...it won't happen again!! lol

The REAL Mexico Midget if I can find it

Then of course 15 - 20 that I can't live with after reading everyone else's list!

Gardeneer · November 13, 2015

Thanks Carolyn. I corrected the spelling to singular : INDIAN STRIPE.

Wow ! Lots of impressive lists I see up there that mine cannot hold a candle for them.
I cut by by 50% in varieties, compared to 2015. I have about 50/50 repeats and new tries.
So far I have seen 2 matches ( Indian Stripe and Big Beef). But this is only the beginning.

greenthumbomaha · November 13, 2015

I have a bit of research to do. It was a hard year for septoria and early blight and I want to plant a few varieties that are somewhat resistant as an insurance policy and a comparison.

A few for sure though:

a bunch of oranges besides KBX
indian stripe to see what everyone is excited about , sent by a kind TVL in an offer
Beduin
San Marzano Lungo
Black Cherry , Sungold, and a yet undetermined red cherry
3-4 early varieties that I didn't get to try from last years swap

a hottie pepper for seasoning powder though I'm not sure which

Too early for me to assemble a proper list of about 70 varieties until the onions, celery, any perennials I experiment with or wintersow and other oddities get situated

AlittleSalt · November 13, 2015

I don't plan to grow any paste or currant tomatoes this coming spring. There is room for up to 113 tomato plants, but I will probably only plant 100.

26 of those will be 8+ oz. varieties.
26 will be in the 2 - 10 oz. size range.
13 will be heat/disease tolerant types whatever size they are.
16 will be cherry/grape size.
12 will be Big Beef - hopefully both F1 and OP - I'm growing to share with a local charity.
07 will be extras of the above that I will grow from seed "just in case".
13 more could be added if we choose to plant another row.

I know that some people don't like that some varieties are called "Tolerant" but that is how they are advertised, and I'm curious.

I used to grow just a few plants, and then in 2012, I pushed it to 12 plants. In 2013 - it was two rows of 12 plants each and people out here thought I was crazy. In 2014, I joined Tomatoville and grew around 40 or so. We grew over 150 varieties this year 2015 during the most messed up growing conditions I've ever gardened through. Next year, including the spring and fall gardens I will most likely grow over 200 tomato varieties. I enjoy growing tomatoes as much as I enjoy eating them.

I know this wasn't a list. Any tomato variety I have seeds for that grow less than 8 oz. I've only looked at long enough to sort them into lists. I'll be able to answer better in a month or so.

Gardeneer · November 13, 2015

green thumb,
In Omaha, you have plenty of time to do your search and Research.
As far as disease goes there seems to be NO variety resistant to foliage diseases. So the only option is PREVENTION by regular systematic spraying of some kind. Correct me if I am wrong.

OK. Anybody else wants to get published ?
C'mone it is your best chance to get famous.

Hmmm...not sure why it's not on my list, Carolyn, but maybe it should be!
