Same here, I got this catalog the other day and it got me thinking about popping other type of seeds for a change
That's beautiful! I always grow cherokee purples, along with sun golds and 2 other cherry varieties. Nobody else offers cherokee purple as a single variety around here so I'm able to charge a premium to restaurants for them. It's consistently every chef's favorite variety.
OH Sun Golds! man where had I been?! I grew them last summer and was blown away, heads and tails better flavor.
hes got a tan
The cover picture is of a Purple Galaxy (the photo sucked me right in) but when I tried to order a pack they have this posted! lol
Well, if they are having production issues that isn't a good sign anyways. Cherokee Purple all day! Best results are from one or two central leaders. Prune off every last sucker and have them trellis up a single string, or two if you do double leaders. You can plants them as close as 10" from each other if you do single stem. 10" is what I do. I grow hundreds. Get your starts a foot high if you have time, prune of the lower 1/2 to 2/3 and transplant super deep.
@INKBIRD makes good gear for that.
excellent tips, thx Rama! I'll save this intel
Gosh never thought about different tomato varieties, as we always get just “ normal tomatoes “ wonder what the taste is like from the other varieties
But wait, those are cherry tomatoes, not cherokee.
How'r the Frostettes coming along Cap? one of mine was hard charging and I bent her a bit. They've had a strong look right from jump.What up homies!!! Been busy as fuck.
Updates sometime today!
All the love
Once you grow cherokees you'll grow them every year ;) Yeah those are cherries but I grow cherokee the same, even though they are fatties. I just don't have a photo. They are an indeterminate variety, as are cherry tomatoes. Determinate tomatoes need to be grown more like bushes. Determinates set all the fruit within a short window of time, relatively. Indeterminate varieties will keep pumping at 100% until the cold gets them.
Just up potted them into 1gs yesterday,my dogs tail got one. Snapped the stalk, but I did some field triage and it’s good to go. I’ll post up pics asap.

there's a whole world out there of tomato flavors! I grew a yellow pear variety last year that had almost a lemony? flavor to it.
