I need in terms of quantity and new varieties. Hard to resist in March.
Among the repeat tomatoes:
...Clementine (a star in terms of production, taste, longevity. The next one I plant will last till December. Orange golf balls, no splitting)
...Chocolate Sprinkles (reliable black cherry type, but your black cherry probably better tasting)
...Brown and Black Boar (among my top for flavor, and gorgeous)
...Pink Berkeley Tie Dye (prefer Summer of Love, but not available this year. Still, very good and pretty)
...Madam Marmande (reliable red)
...Thornbergs Terra Cotta (unusual color, great flavor..has set a ton of big fruit)
...Carmello (reliable red)
Among the newbies:
...Reisentraube (incredible number of flowers, only about 1/3 set so far. supposed to be great flavor for a cherry)
...Esmeralda Golosina (super tall open plant, good to have a green in the stable)
...Russian Queen (striped plum sized fruit...looks like will have a lot)
...Copper River (possible multicolor replacement for Summer of Love)
I gave away a bunch of extras I grew from seed, and some that I root in water then pot up for giveaway or a second crop. I'm ready to plant another round of must-haves from cuttings, for later summer: Brown and Black Boar, Clementine, Madam Marmande. I'll probably need a Green Zebra because I anticipate Esmeralda Golosina won't be as good as GZ...I like tart not sweet.
Have started harvesting Terra Cotta, Clementine, and Chocolate Sprinkles already, Socal.
The leaves on two plants in 15 gallon cans look suspicious, so they are in quarantine away from others of their kind. Hazard of trying heirlooms without demonstrated resistance, and of planting early.
Good luck everyone!
