Getting good tomatoes of size finally. The Chefs Choice (orange or yellow) had a high germination rate, early growth/production and good size. Very happy with them. Second was Mountain Fresh a red tomato which was right behind Chefs Choice in germination/growth and production. The biggest disappointment was the Golden Romas. The ones we wanted most had the lowest germination rate and least hardy. Just getting a few fruits.
Those ‘Chef’s Choice’ are my favorites! Growing the Orange and the Black this season.
My reds are mostly paste-types and Celebrity & Bella Rosa this season.
I’m giving myself a break - last year I nearly killed myself with the canning of tomatoes from 36 plants. This year, I knocked it back to my ‘normal’ 24, LOL!
