Kind of a jolly guy. | ||
Pincushion Flower (Sixalix atropurpurea subsp. atropurpurea) |
Prev Tender/Annuals |
2021: I planted seeds sold as 'Double Purple' which looked a lot like Ace of Spades in the picture, but is apparently not a cultivar. The mice or something ate all but one before I got a chance to plant them. I have no memory of the remaining one. | ||

Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum 'Amish Paste') |
Have Vegetables Vegetables this year |
85 days. Heirloom, indeterminate. "Juicy, meaty plum tomato with few seeds, sweeter than some paste tomatoes. Good for sauces, slicing, and canning." We've been canning more tomatoes in recent years and thought I'd try some paste tomatoes. 2023: 2 healthy plants from seed |
||
Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum 'Anna Russian') |
Prev Vegetables |
70 days. Heirloom. Indeterminate. 2017: I grew these when I couldn't find Cluster Grande seeds. They didn't impress me much. Small plants, unremarkable taste and oddly shaped. |
||
Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum 'Bloody Butcher') |
Will Vegetables |
55 Days. OP. Indeterminate. 2019: From seed. 2 plants 2018: I grew these from purchased starts, when I had poor germination with my seeds. They were really good. |
||
Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum 'Brandywine') |
Prev Vegetables |
90 days. Heirloom. Indeterminate 2018: Bought a start. They were not good - they grew weird shaped tomatoes that were hard to slice and a lot of 2 fruits mashed together. They got some nasty flying bug burrowed into the fruit that weren't in any of the other tomatoes and about made me puke. Don't do them again. |

Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum 'Bush Early Girl') |
Will Vegetables Vegetables this year |
54 Days. Hybrid. Determinate 2023: 3 nice plants from seed. 1 ended up in the SE corner strip. 2021: 1 plant from seed. Very healthy, stout plant. 2018: Bought a start. Didn't notice any difference between this one and the regular early girls. |
||
Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum 'Bush Goliath') |
Will Vegetables Vegetables this year |
68 days. Hybrid. A determinate hybrid of 'Goliath', these are tidy, sturdy plants. 2023: 3 stout plants from seed. 1 in the SE corner strip. 2022: The year we started things too late. I bought 2 starts and got 2 from seed. Planted all 4 out, but the purchased ones are way ahead of my seed started ones. They didn't have any blossoms yet when they were planted. They do have really sturdy stems. We've had such a cold, wet spring and so far summer is looking like more of the same. I don't have high expectations for the tomatoes this year. None of our tomatoes had much size to them, but these performed well. 2021: 1 from seed. Healthy & strong, well behaved. These produced well and stayed in their cages. 2019: 2 from seed. These are compact plants that can hold themselves up at planting. |

Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum 'Celebrity') |
Will Vegetables |
67 Days. Hybrid. Determinate. 2022: A fail from seed. Bought 2 starts and planted them out. Healthy plants with strong stems. Small tomatoes on all the plants, but lots of them. 2021: Planted 4 from seed. All were healthy plants with stout stems. Strongest of the bunch this year. 2020: 4 very healthy plants. These were our best producers this year. 2018: Bought a start. These were good. They had medium sized fruits and produced well. I would do these again. I would put them on par with Early Girl. |

Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum 'Celebrity Plus') |

A newer hybrid that is supposed to be larger and sweeter than regular Celebrity. 2023: 2 nice plants from seed. 1 in the SE corner strip. |

Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum 'Cherry Bomb') |
Prev Vegetables |
64 days. Hybrid. Indeterminate. 2019: A freebie from PT when they couldn't get my Tumbling Tom to me early enough. I have one in a pot for the porch. It was OK. Tall and sparse, not as good as TT |
||
Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum 'Cluster Goliath') |
Will Vegetables |
67 days. Hybrid. Indeterminate. 2020: 1 plant from old seed. 2019: from seed. 2 Very tall, spindly plants at planting. Not as good as Cluster Grande, which I can't find seeds for anymore. |
||
Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum 'Cluster Grande') |
Will Vegetables |
63 days. Hybrid. Indeterminate. These are one of my go-to tomatoes. Smallish fruits along the vine like the ones you get in the store. Early and tasty. 2019: no seeds at PT 2018: Epic fail with seed starting. 2017: Did well |
||
Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum 'Coustralee') |
Will Vegetables |
83 days. Heirloom. Indeterminate. This is my go-to big tomato. Nice sized tomatoes with the right amount of acid, and none of the mealy texture of a typical beefsteak. Yum. Unfortunately, I can't find seeds anymore. Wish I had saved some. 2019: No seeds at PT 2018: One little late seedling. Almost zero success this year with seeds - starting too late in the year. 2017: Very healthy plants this year from old seed. 2016: Excellent harvest. Delicious! 2014: Nice big, tasty tomatoes. Not mealy like a beefsteak. |

Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum 'Early Girl') |
Will Vegetables |
60 days. Hybrid. Indeterminate. 4-6 oz fruit. This is one of my standby tomatoes that does well here. It's reliable to produce tasty, medium sized fruits early. 2022: I started some from seed, but they were a fail. I bought 3 starts and potted them up. At planting time, 2 of them were too spindly to bother with, and ended up being stuck in the compost pile in case they feel like growing. I planted the third one in the garden, but it's looking pretty weak as well. 2020: From seed. 4 plants. They did fine, average harvest. 2019: From seed. 2 plants. The wind has been killer on the tomatoes this year 2018: Got a couple from seed and also bought a couple plants when germination sucked. 2017: From seed. First up and largest, healthiest starts this year. |

Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum 'Early Goliath') |
Will Vegetables |
60 days. Hybrid. Indeterminate. Supposed to be similar to Early Girl, with larger fruit and better disease resistance. 2021: I had a lot of tomato seedlings this year and these were spindly, so they got tossed. 2020: 4 plants from seed. Not sure if I planted all 4 out or not. They did well, but nothing really outstanding. |

Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum 'Genuwine') |
Will Vegetables Vegetables this year |
70-75 days. Hybrid. Indeterminate. Kind of untamed, but tasty. 2023: 3 healthy plants from seed. 1 in the SE corner strip. 2022: Bought a start because tomatoes were an epic fail in the greenhouse this year. (Started too late.) Healthy enough looking plant. This one surprised us. Odd shaped fruit, but delicious flavor. Our favorite for slicing this year. 2018: Bought a start. Just so-so. Didn't particularly impress us in any way. They weren't horrible though. |
