Cricket's Tomato Adventures Part 2 is pretty long and since many of us are outside of Zone 8 I decided to start a new tomato adventures thread that is not zone specific.
I wanted to show you folks my mega sized Black Cherry plant. It's huge. The second picture was two weeks ago.
Most of my plants are doing really well, tons of green tomatoes. The best producers are:
San Marzano
Black Plum
Cherokee Purple (looks like a 1# tomato growing on that plant)
Stupice
The Momotaro is flowering, this plant got started late so I hope it's okay through the summer.
Big disappointments are:
Black Krim
Black Sea Man
The Black Krim is the one I posted the leaves curling and it continues to be problematic. Branches full of leaves that just turn brown and die. I keep cutting off the branches and now it's just a spindly, ugly thing. Black Sea Man, similar. Maybe these large black types do not like this heat. Anyone have good results with these? What else is doing well or poorly?
