Annual Master Gardner Sale: On saturday I picked up some tomatoes, lettuce, peppers.
They had a recommendation to plant two like type tomotoes in the same cage. In their experiece the plants together will yield the same amount as a single plant. I am going to try this and I planted them today.
Planted: I put two Classics tomatoes together: Stupice and Glory of Moldova
and I put two Beefsteak together: Aker's West Virginia and Brandywine from Croatia.
Like all the plants in the Garden, All are Open Pollinated varieties.
Stupice: Czech origin, very early, cold tolerant, highly productive, small very flavorful fruit. Holds well. Red Indet 52 days
Glory of Moldova: Gorgeous golden globes grow in clusters of 4-6. Flesh is a deep golden orange and flavor is fruity & Sweet. Highly rated in taste tests. Early and consistently productive throughout the season. Gold, Semi 80 days.
Aker's West Virginia: Vigorous plants produce big harvests of delicious 1 lb tomatoes with sweet, rich flavor and very little cracking or other blemishes. Family heirloom from West Virginia, Taste test winner. Red Indet 80 days
Brandywine from Croatia: Productive, large, meaty pink tomato with delicious, complex flavor. Very tender skin. Regular leaf. Rare, only available from Santa Clara Master Gardeners. Pink Indet 85 days
I need to get a calender together to track days to Harvest.
Although the Nitrogen tested higher than last year, I am a little reserved about planting the tomotoes in the same place as last year.
all the walls and roof are on the seed house. I still need to seal the panels in and I am going to tile the bottom to increase the thermal mass of the space. I need to put in a shelf also. Seems to working well. I moved my seeds into it and also put the lettuce, peppers, eggplant and remaining tomatoes I got from the sale that still needs to harden off.
