- Let's walk through the gardens and see how the tomato plants and fruits are coming along! Many are not ripe yet but it's good to see the growth habit as the plants are maturing during the heat of the season. Note that tomato plants are either heirloom tomatoes or open pollinated.

Great video! I'm in Iowa zone 5a. My Sungold an Blueberries and Cream started last week. My first beefsteak variety was ripe yesterday, a Nyagous. I'm looking forward to trying Pineapple and Isis Candy. I have 14 varieties growing. Thanks for the tour!
Awesome to have so many varieties in your garden! You have piqued my curiosity with Nyagous - had to look it up and might have to trial that one next year. Thanks for watching 🙂
Growing 2 favourites this year: Cherokee Purple and Sungold. Also growing Cherokee Green, Green Zebra, San Marzano and Roma. Also a mislabelled Giant Rainbow which is actually some kind of cherry.
Next year I've got about 20 seed varieties ordered including some dwarf varieties like Rosella Purple, BrandyFred, Uluru Ochre, Dwarf Almandine and Wherokowhai.
Other varieties are Oaxacan Jewel, Barry's Crazy Cherry, Opalka, Green Giant, Cosmonaut Volkov, Indian Stripe, Ananas Noire, Thorburn's Terracotta, Feurerwork, Andrew Rahart's Jumbo, Sylvan Guame, Xanadu Green Goddess and Virginia Sweets. Whew!
Really looking forward to next year.
Great sounding line up of tomatoes! I’ve been very impressed with the dwarf I’m growing and need more of branch out a bit…I’ll check out the ones you listed. Virginia Sweets was mentioned by a local so I’m going to give it a try next year too. Thanks for watching!
I am in CT as well. I found 2 hornworms and think 2 eggs on my ingrown tomatoes. Also, a lot of flea Beatles damage. Something is also chomping all my basil. Any suggestions anyone?
Flea beetles do a lot of damage but usually just the lower leaves. The June beetles and Japanese beetles love the basil - try shallow bowls of water under the plants. The beetles are attracted to them.
@@AdventuresinGardening thanks :)
I had a big problem with blite. I didn’t really know what it was, so it got really out of control. I had to pull my plants yesterday. I should have known something was up.
Oh no - I’m so sorry to hear that! It definitely is something that I battle and try to keep at bay.
@@AdventuresinGardening do you have any insight about how to plant so it doesn’t com back with such a vengeance? I have read that you can’t Reuse that same spot of soil for about four years? In greenstalks the soil is a big investment.
There are things you can do that can help. I’m assuming we are talking about septoria or early blight at this point in the season? If the fruits are not affected I just keep cutting the affected foliage off (disinfecting my tools between plants to) and dispose of debris in the garbage. No overhead watering, no nighttime watering, no allowing plants to wilt. I don’t know enough about greenstalks, but proper drainage is also important so your plants aren’t wet-wet all the time. Copper fungicide is an organic approved option as well. Hope this helps!
@@AdventuresinGardening Thank you!
Do you sell seeds online, or have you considered it?
Maybe someday but not quite yet…thanks for asking though!
