2011 Tomato Varieties - Main Garden

I do have to take a little easy on tomatoes this year, and add more vegetables to the table to keep up with the better eating habits. So I'm limiting myself:

Ananas Noir
Armenian
Aunt Ruby's German Green
Big Rainbow
Black Krim
Brandeva
Brandywine Sudduth
Bull's Heart Pink
Cherokee Green
Cleota Pink
Cleota Yellow
Dawson's Russian Oxeheart
Dynnye
Everett's Rusty Oxheart
Hazel Gold
Heart Of The Bull
Jumbo Jim Orange
Lithuanian Crested Pink
Orange Minsk
Pink Berkley Tie-Dye
Prue
Reif Red Heart
Roger's Best Black
Sakharnyi Zheltyi
Spudakee
Spudatula
Striped Red Boar (Red Boar)
Wes
Wisconsin 55

Few others will include (as a part of my $2.00 garden)

Delicious
Beefsteak

And looking forward to growing out 4 dwarfs: 3 from amazing work of some folks from Tomatoville:

Dwarf Beryl Beauty
Dwarf Emerald Giant
Dwarf Mr. Snow

And last, but not least:

New Big Dwarf

I'm actually quite excited growing out dwarfs for the first time. Will there ever be a full dwarf garden for me? Surely not, love getting up on the ladder to reach 10' plus vines to gather late season tomatoes from them. But for the patio and limited spaces gardens, dwarfs indeed have their place. And all 4 are bred for their taste!

2011 Garden Beginnings!

After somewhat rough ending to the last year, it is time to bring a spring a little closer to home!

2011 Tomatoes for containers are:

Danko
Janune Flamme
Lambada
Noire de Crimee
Taxi
Early Treat
Lubasha F4


These were started on Jan 29th

First seedlings started to pop-up on 02/01/2011, and still coming:

As of 02/11/2013, all of the first batch are in their 2.5" pots:



And as of 02/19/2011 are in the basement, getting a cold treatment.
