A look at this years tomatoes.

[Circle-M-Farm]

Here is a look at this years tomatoes.

The tomatoes in the flats are about 35 day out of the ground and not looking to bad.
-- Marglobe,

-- Rutgers,
(Burpee's seeds)
-- Rampo,
(Rutgers EDU seeds)
-- Moreton,
(Rutgers EDU seeds)
-- Rutgers 250,
(Rutgers EDU seeds)
-- Rutgers 250 "Schermerhorn"
(Rutgers EDU seeds)

The tomatoes in the 4" pots are 22 days out of the ground.
-- Campbells 33,
(Reimer seeds)
-- *Brandywine Red*
(Burpee's seeds)
-- Proter House
(Burpree's seeds)

Note --
The "Brandywine tomatoes seeds that I received from Burpees are not the true Red Brandywine tomatoes. I found this out as soon as the true leaves appeared, true Red Brandwine tomatoes have a regular tomato leaf, these have a potato leaf.

Your tomatoes are looking good! I planted a True Black Brandywine tomato and it has the potato leaf like yours does.

A look at this years tomatoes, huh? I fear they survived the projected frost (that never) came only to fall prey to the hot sun baking them under their night's protection before I got to removing the covers. Most of them are black mush.

I guess that means planting seeds again. This time I can start them right outside in the garden. I am such a bad plant mommy! Black warming houses are a bad idea in sunny weather and I should have gotten them off well before I did.

Tough break, Red. Will you have time where you live to start from seed again?

 

[Smart Red]

Yes. Seeds actually do better and grow faster if started right in the garden. Tomatoes may be a little later than some, but just as delicious once they get here.

@baymule
Thank you.
If I remember correctly the Black Brandywine should be potato leaf, I think they were a Pink Brandywine / Black Krim cross and they would have got the potato leaf from the Pink Brandywine.

@Circle-M-Farm I haven't tried Brandywine before. I am excited to be growing the True Black Brandywine. I am searching for my "favorites". I order different seed every year and I tend to go overboard. So far my must haves are Cherokee Purple, Tommy Toes and German Johnson.

It has been so cold here it is impossible to put the plants in the ground. Right now it is like winter outdoors, you need a jacket and some parts of NY got snow last night. The plants in the greenhouse are flowering and setting fruit, but I have the heat on at night. The plants for the garden are still in the greenhouse in 4" pots and are flowering also, but I don't know when I will be able to plant them.

@jackb that is too cold, too late in the year! Is Spring always broken in N.Y.? It is too cool here too.....in the low 60's at night and in the 70's in the day time. So I guess Spring is broken here too, but my AC bill sure likes it.

Low sixties at night here would be a reason to have all the fans blowing!
Sounds like summer weather to me.
