Come on Tomatoes!

Lots of flowers on both types of tomato plants, but so far still only tomatoes growing on the one plant. Here are the two types and the information on each from the Park Seed web page.


The photo to the right is the Tomato Mega Bite Hybrid. Park Seed advertises that each plant will produce up to 60 4 to 6 oz. fruit (3-4 inches in diameter). The branches are described as being short and lateral with the fruit close to the stem (thus not requiring staking and tying). That seems accurate although I do still wonder if the plants are somewhat stunted from the less than ideal soil. I have four of these plants. You can see the two large ones in the photo and one of the younger ones in between.


The photo to the left is the Tomato Container Choice Hybrid. It is advertised as producing 8 oz tomatoes. So far nothing on mine. I have three plants. I tied two of them to sticks after they started to lean in last weekend's thunderstorms. They've had a smattering of flowers for a week or so, but no sign of a tomato yet.
