Classic! I planted 2 Celebrities and 2 Early Girls- one Celebrity succumbed to late blight. I planted late- in early July, but I'm in Santa Clara (a/k/a Silicon) Valley, California with a nice Indian summer, so I should be reaping a harvest in a few weeks. That is, if I can keep those thieving squirrels away, who've already made off with a couple green fruit. Miracle Grow works wonders! ;-) ---Michael Lankton <mlankton@home.com> wrote:
I always devote half of my garden to tomatoes, and this year I planted Celebrity (which I plant every year) and Burpee tomatoes. Celebrities are medium sized and quite similar to the tomatoes that you would find at the store. I started getting tomatoes off these plants in early August. My Burpee plant showed no signs of producing fruit, yet
grew to
an astonishing 6 feet tall. I thought perhaps I had a sterile plant and all it's energy was being put into going to vine. I just started getting ripe fruits from this plant this week. They are the size of both of your fists held together, nearly seedless, perfect red meat, and exceptionally flavorful. This is the best sandwhich tomato I have ever grown, and from now on I will probably grow them exclusively, but I will plant them early in the future. Just a recommendation for the gardeners on the list :)
