2017 tomato grow list. $ before a name means it’s a code name for the seeds that grew the plant, and not a variety name. All the seeds were planted within a few days of the 8th of April, 2017, sans direct-seeded ones. See the tooltip for the seed source or for saved seed; see the tooltip f...read more

These were all grown from seed. A number of the plants were at least semi-stunted this year (and produced under-sized fruit). This was my first year growing many tomatoes from seed. None were purchased as plants. I started them extremely early indoors under fluorescent lights (incandescent for Y...read more

I plan to edit this post as the fruits accumulate. Normal fruit count / bad uneaten ripe fruits / edible BER fruits (tossed BER fruits, squished unripe fruits and such aren't counted).

I made a good pizza dipping sauce with some home-canned tomatoes, on 2 June 2021 : a quart of home-canned tomatoes, as well as granulated garlic, onion powder, basil, pink sea salt, black pepper, paprika, and two fresh sage leaves, with extra virgin olive oil added when it was nearly done).

I just had a relative taste test several cherry tomatoes: Isis Candy, Eva, Brown Berry, Esterina F1, and Austin's Black Cherry. She liked Eva, and Esterina F1 the most. From my own taste test of those (not today), I liked Eva and Austin's Black Cherry the most. It looks like we agree on Eva; ...read more

So, I dehydrated these tomatoes last night (and today): And we got this result: I had them on 167 for about 5 hours, and 145 the rest of the time. Different temperatures would assuredly get different flavors. Most of them seem to taste like tomato soup with a zing and a little swee...read more
