Where I live (far Northern US- Minnesota) they will maybe produce one tomato-if you're lucky and you start the plants inside 4 months before planting them out.<br />Our season is too short for them. :( They do taste amazing though. <br />Now I only plant 80 day and earlier varieties. Still have to start them inside, but only 2 1/2 months before planting.

I tried some heritage types like Black Russian and Green Zebra but wasn't very impressed with the flavour.<br /><br />I have a second crop of Romas in that look a lot better so fingers crossed.greenfumbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08157970942128503098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4476190367076399004.post-31171737705826524372010-02-11T17:42:32.408+11:002010-02-11T17:42:32.408+11:00I don't bother with tomatoes in town as they A...I don't bother with tomatoes in town as they ALWAYS get fruit fly / hen pecked, but at the farm there is a plentiful supply of what we rudely call "ring sown" tomatoes ... essentially volunteers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4476190367076399004.post-27089900774398525532010-02-11T17:01:30.239+11:002010-02-11T17:01:30.239+11:00Tomatoes are fussy, cranky odd bods.

A friend in Ashfield told me a while back about his self-seeding, rampant, fruit-through-winter, delicious Tommy Toes (admittedly growing up a warm brick wall). <br /><br />I've never grown them and so I can't say, but one thing I have stuck to is this: if a tomato variety is a dud in my backyard, never again. Just move on, because there are plenty more to choose from.<br /><br />But I'm glad the Brandywines tasted great. I've never heard a bad word about them.Jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14653345793213312242noreply@blogger.com
