Haven't picked any tomatoes yet. It's a race between septorium leaf spot and bellestar (determinate)  Other tomatoes are also suffering, but look like they are going to outgrow it. |

Although there are no Sungold's STILL,
Joseph's Early Tomato threw out a couple of reds...my what a big healthy thing it is. Rose de Berne threw out a couple of pinks and Burning Spear donated 3 ripe orange tomatoes to the cause.
No sign of Early Girl (no snearing)...
First Cherry of the season....drum roll....Lieven's "Me Tarzan".
oo, oo, oo, I want to be like you oo...

Next one was Rose. I have a lot of BER because of the drip lines malfunctioning.

Tomatoes are finally ripening
First off is my open pollinated version of Sun Sugar (F4?) Quite surprising because it was planted late, and I am not selecting for early.
In close secession:
Sun Sugar (f1)
Belle Star (determinate, paste medium sized)
Mat's Wild
From my early set of tomatoes, still waiting for Jaune Flamme, Ildi, and Black Cherry

BTW, I disagree with you a little bit on heat setting ability as discussed at TV. I have several lines working this year that clearly set fruit in daytime heat exceeding 98*F.
In fact, and to be able to give more than "anecdotal" accounts, I have gone into the seed garden each week following extended hot spells and counted fruit set plant by plant. One heat spell from the last week of June to the first week of July had 11 days in a row above 100*F, and up to 107*F max., and I got fruit sets showing the following week. Not on all plants even of the same lines, but on a few plants in each of the hotset lines I am working up.
Yes, that first extended hot spell had cooler nights in the lower to mid 70s, but the more recent hot spell had warmer nights in the mid 80s, and I still got fruit set on a couple of lines that had been results of crossing with cherry tomatoes.
Just thought I'd pass that along, even though it's off subject for this thread.

Okay, this is supposed to be Thessalonki. This looks nothing like the picture. So those of you who "know tomatoes" give me a hint what this could be. Davida the seeds came from you. Ideas? Conjectures? Attachments:

Conjectures? Holly, I purchased the seeds from Baker Creek but have not grown them yet. Have you tasted one yet? I have a few seeds left in the package and will try some in the fall garden if they are good. David |
