[QUOTE="TexasJerseyMilker, post: 1817399, member: 42782"] Latest update on my 'hairloom' tomato experiment in Oregon. It is mid August. The "Lemon Boy" hairlooms turned out to be some kind of red paste plum tomato. Totally bland, feeding them to the chickens. Amazon gave my $ back for the seeds. Soldaki, Polish hairloom, have good flavor but smallish tomatos but bigger than cherry. Great White hairloom. Totally sour red small tomatos, got my money back but it was still a waste of time and effort. Earlygirl grown from seed. My fault for falling for this online seed sale as EG are a hybrid and cannot be grown from seed. NOTHING like EG and they quit floweing which EG never does. At least I can make sauce. Seltz, a variety bred for Oregon short season production, flavor pretty good, fruits small, does not continue to flower. Cherokee Purple. It is an ugly deformed tomato but the taste is incredible, Very tomatoy, bright and sweet. However, stopped flowering in July. From now on I am buying BonnieBell Early Girl seedings from Walmart. $4 a plant-- Heck keep them going for the next year crop y rooting cuttings of suckers. I'll grow more Cherokee purple. This week I made the many lbs of frozen of last years EG into marinar sauce and froze it. Also, Kentucy Wonder green beans I picked 10 lbs yesterday, blanched then froze. So they will produce another heavy crop because they think they did not create any beans. The major thing I am doing this year is putting in a home vinyard of muscat varieties of table grapes. I grew these from dormant cuttings. All the grapes you can buy in the store these days taste exactly the same. Not like these honey flowery Muscat grapes your mom brought home from the store when we were kids. [ATTACH type="full"]34320[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
