Update on August production
well, still cooking, and canning and freezing so far so good. New recipes needed.
Got my first Nicolaevna YUM!!!!!!!!!! Great old fashioned tomato taste.
Couple of unknown tomatoes- Package of Black russian produced 3 different kinds of plants, one is small round tomatoes, very good taste, second what they present on the picture and third is potato leafed plant... hmmm
Love my Cuor di Bue and still good producer.
Nature riddle is Very prolific with giant fruits, taste is excellent. Big rainbow slightly disappointed as size is less and later that Nature Riddle.
Got my first Nicolaevna YUM!!!!!!!!!! Great old fashioned tomato taste.
Momotaro is yum! has tough skin this year?
St Pierre is no wow factor for
me, orange paste is delish!
Pierce Pride is amazing buttery dark
chocolaty, loved it, am getting second splash of produce there, def a keeper. Black vernisage and Momotaro were thick skinned
too much but while Momotaro is big to eat skin out, BV is just too small
so jury still out.
Brandywine Jan is great, got couple nice big ones and more coming, Tennessie supr still green...Couple of unknown tomatoes- Package of Black russian produced 3 different kinds of plants, one is small round tomatoes, very good taste, second what they present on the picture and third is potato leafed plant... hmmm

Current thoughts on production
Been fighting Septoria here, not winning but schlepping along, not the
best but not the worst so far every few days bag of toms ready to go. So
far my thoughts for next year
Truffles -Will try black pear possibly different Russian variety
Purple Russian- keeper, producing well, good tolerance, great taste
Paul Robeson-keeper, love it
Gypsy- new one, keeper, early midseason, more sweet than BK
Amazon Chocolate- best so far taste, not so great on Septoria or seems like cool weather more, def keeper
Black vernissage- thick skin and mealy, jury still out
Missouri pink love apple- good and reliable, keeper
Pink Honey- did pretty well, although not high producing, taste great, likes cool weather as many russian varieites seems
Big Rainbow- just starting, plant seems doing ok
Tigerella- have other things to try next year
Nature RIddle- just starting, jury still out
Riesentraube- keeper, probably healthiest plant so far
Taste of Italy' Cuore Di Bue- got it loaded with greenies, keeper
/Pomodoro_Tomato_Cuore_di_Bue/Taste_of_Italy
San Marzano- will replace with Redorta
Azochka- keeper, early and taste great, did not do well with Septoria
Roman Striped, did well after weather got warmer, looking better as time goes by and loaded
HHHS- mmm, have other things to try
http://www.rareseeds.com/hssiao-his-hung-shih-tomato/

Blue p20- love it, though did not well with leaf problem, plants look sickly but pumping tomatoes
Ildi- have better things to try
Isis- same, will try something else
Gardeners Delight- keeper, good resistance, early and fruiting well, one plant is more than enough
Black Russian- just broke colors couple days ago will see
Black Krim- will replace, too many dark varieties and no tolerance to Septoria
Marianne Peace- still green
Lemon wonder, ended up being Limonny, def a keeper, great taste and size, midseason early
Banana legs- will have to get something else, was totally determinate this year still 2 ft tall
Peach- like the fruit, but it seem doing so so as plant, last year was the same, just not enough strength
Giant yellow belgium, still green, not sure
Hungarian heart- keeper forever
Tarasenko ubileyniy- like, medium producer, good size and taste, keeper
Green zebra cherry- possible, if nothing better comes alone, good tolerance to weather, good producer so far
