Ok so apparently this summer’s hyperfixation is going to be gardening which I’m not mad about it’s been a hot minute since I’ve done plant stuff so I’m excited

I went to Lowe’s yesterday and decided fuck it I’m getting whatever I want so I walked out with 2 hibiscus, a Cherokee purple tomato, a strawberry, a daisy, pots, soil, gloves, tools, and seeds.

I also found some seed starting pots in my garage which is dope because I only bought enough pots for my already started plants and like two types of seeds so here’s what we’re growing from seed:

Petite carrots, brandywine pink tomato, genovese basil, rainbow coleus, candy cane and giant lavender zinnia, cat grass, black hollyhock, and ornamental corn

The hollyhock and corn will be transplanted into the landscaping at some point because the hollyhock is a perennial and the corn is going to be too big for a little starter pot. The others will be transplanted into pots or the landscaping depending on my mood.

I was this close 🤏 to buying a beautiful variegated rose bush at Home Depot today but I stopped myself. Maybe next week.

But!!! My strawberry plant has 3 runners which means I can sit them in some soil and they’ll root there and then I’ll have 4 strawberry plants!!!! I didn’t get to pick the type of strawberry because they just had this one but that’s okay it’s my first time growing strawberries I don’t need to get fancy with it.

One of these things is not like the other.

In addition to the chocolate cherry tomatoes that have been a mainstay of the garden in the last several years, I started some seeds from Guerney’s “Heirloom Rainbow Blend.” *

The Rainbow pack “May contain black, pink, red or yellow Brandywine, Cherokee Purple, Green Zebra, White Wonder and orange Nebraska Wedding.” The center top plant in this photo purports to be from the Rainbow pack. The leaves are not the same shape as any of the others, but the stem is fuzzy and the same size and shape, and the branching pattern is similar. Is it a tomato or an interloper? Only time will tell.

* (These are not all of the tomato seedlings. I have eleven of these white containers and four in larger, round containers. Don’t ask me where I am going to put fifteen indeterminate tomato plants.)

Ah, yes. We have entered the time of year where I start getting ready to plant my porch garden, and I get very dramatically sad that I don’t have actual land and can’t grow cold-hardy pomegranate trees or purple yams or Japanese black sticky corn or anything that can’t fit in about five gallon-buckets of dirt on my porch.

I am starting seeds in a single egg carton and sighing dramatically a lot at how unfair this is. My family wasn’t farmers for the past two centuries to settle for porch gardens.

Tomato babies. Amish Paste on the left and Pink Brandywine on the right.

Pink Brandywine are known as a ‘potato leaf’ variety due to their leaf shape being more like that of a potato plant. You can already see this difference when you compare the them to the Amish Paste on the left.

It’s my first time growing Pink Brandywine so I’m very excited to see how these massive plants go for me!

If you ever want to do a "Top 10 home gardening tomato cultivars" segment, I'm here for it. (My folks mostly plant Early Girls, but they have a ridiculously short growing season up there. I grow Sweet 100s, because they taste good enough and I gave up on growing anything other than cherries due to bastard squirrels who like to take exactly one bite out of larger tomatoes.)

OH

IT IS NOW TIME TO INFO DUMP

CONSIDER YOURSELF WARNED

Ok so the actual thing with tomatoes is there are- checks google- about 10,000 tomato cultivars out there and every single one of them is different, so you should tailor your tomato breeds to what you actually want to do with them.  10K is a lot a breeds to break down, but fortunately, there are ways to Do That:

1. Determinate vs. Indeterminate 

Determinate tomatoes grow to a genetically predetermined size and start fruiting.  Pros: Tends to have a short time between planting and fruiting, don’t get bigger than a certain size if you only have so much space. Cons: Once they’re done fruiting, that’s it. you really only get the one crop out of them.  Also tend to have sad, watered-down flavor.

Indeterminate tomatoes grow as big as the space will let them, and start fruting when they get around to it. Pros: Maximum Plant for minimum investment, which can be like 10x as big as a determinate plant. Will KEEP fruiting until it gets too cold, so if you can get it in a pot you can move inside you could potentially still be harvesting tomatoes after thanksgiving like my MIL was this year.  If you live somewhere warm like SoCal or AZ, you could keep it alive all year. Cons: MUCH longer time between planting and fruiting.  Indeterminate tomates Get there when they get there. Also may be more prone to disease and pests than the more-modified determinate plants.

There are determinate and indeterminate tomatoes in all 5 of the Greater Tomato Archetypes.  Speaking of:

2. The 5 Tomato Archetypes

I’m so good at segues! 

So tomatoes come in 5 basic types, each which is generally better for something culinary than the others.  You CAN substitute different types of tomato but your food generally doesn’t come out as good.

1. Cherry: Cherry tomatoes produce fruits that are about the size of cherries.  Some people put Grape and Saladette tomatoes in here but they are WRONG, both of those belong in the “Round/All-Purpose” group because Cherry tomatoes specifically have thinner skins, more soluable pectin, and more dissolved glutemates, which means they cook VERY differently.  Cherry tomatoes also produce a shitload of fruits at a time and might be some of the heaviest producers.  Tend to be more heat-tolerant. Good For:  Fresh tomato sauces (i.e. takes less than 20 minutes to make), salads, snacking on directly off the vine like you are a small tarsier discovering a hidden bounty of fruit.

Top reccomendations are: -Indigo Cherry or Dwarf Black Krim if you can find it. I always reccomend dark-pigmented tomatoes as I find they have better flavor, pest resistence and UV tolerance. Taste fruity but not over-sweet and Very Tomato-y.  -Sweet 100/Super-Sweet 100/Sweet Millions: All varietals of the same mass-producing Cherry Tomato. Makes absolute buckets of Tomatoes, sweeter and more fruity than the Indigo cherry, good disease resistence and long growing season.

2. Paste: Paste tomatoes are thin-skinned, meaty and soft tomatoes that... well, they make good tomato paste, the basis for all long-cooking tomato sauces and recipies. They tend to be kind of Oblong and sometimes grow in fun extras like lil tomato “dicks” or weird cthulian shapes, but this doesn’t effect the flavor or nutrition There’s a shitload of great varietals in this category, I’ve yet to hear of a Bad Paste Tomato, just Less Excellent ones.   Good For: Long-cooking Tomato-based dishes like: Bolognese, chili, ketchup, BBQ etc.  Also can and freeze well.

Top Reccomendations are: -Amish Paste: MEATY, and well-suited for growing in a variety of conditions.  Paste is smooth and velvety.  Good for Chili, BBQ and Bolognese. -Opalka tomato: Russian Tomato, little more on the acidic side, grows well in places prone to surprise late frosts.  Paste isn’t as smooth but very thick. makes great ketchup. -San Marzano: THE tomato for making Marinara Sauce (also does good bolognese). Sweeter and lighter, with a slightly runnier paste that clings well to pasta. cans and freezes excellently, does well in places with HOT summers.

3. Beef: Beef tomatoes are BIG motherfuckers that kind of take a long time to grow but are very rewarding.  Beef tomatoes are firm, have a very solid meat and are best eaten raw, typically sliced onto a sandwich or seared under a broiler for a NZ Mousetrap. Not only are the fruits big but so are the Plants, so they take a long time to reach maturity and the fruit takes FOREVER to ripen but if you like a sandwich, they can’t be beat.  Also they look hella impressive on instagram. They also tend to be more prone to Blossom End Rot (which is just a calcium deficiency- just make sure to fertilize with some eggshells and don’t over-water them), and despite the size, don’t tolerate cold well. Good for: Slicing on sandwiches, eating raw like you’re biting into the still-beating heart of your nemesis and enjoying that sweet, sweet revenge, searing quickly under a broiler or putting on a Kabob.

Top Reccomendations Are: -Brandywine: Hefty, great fresh tomato flavor, and PINK.  -Big Zac: Goddamn Massive Tomato. A Real Heckin’ Chonker. meatier flavor and lots of firm flesh with few seeds. -Beefmaster: One problem with Beef tomatoes is that a lot of them are heirloom varietals that aren’t as widely available. Of the ones that are easy to get your hands on, Beefmaster is the best, but it lacks the flavor punch of Brandywine or Big Zac, but it’s not a BAD tomato.

4. Round/Early/All-Purpose: The Workhorse of Tomatoes, the Round Tomato does it all- sauces, salsa, sandwiches, salads, and snacks.  But it doesn’t do them quite as well as the other, more specialized tomatoes.  Also, some of these tomatoes have been Over-Worked and bred to fruit early and transport well, at the expense of it’s Flavor.  I’M TALKING ABOUT YOU, EARLY GIRL AND BETTER BOY, YOU FLAVORLESS TENNIS BALLS, YOU INSULTS TO THE MIGHTY HOUSE OF NIGHTSHADES. Love yourself, don’t get Early Girl or Better Boy. If your season is too short for anything but the earliest of tomatoes, it may be better to grow Something Else than put all that effort in for Disappointment. That said, there are many types of Round/All-Purpose tomatoes that haven’t been overbred into corporate blandness, and I can reccomend them in good concisence if you’re not totally sure what you want to do with your tomatoes: Good For: Indecisive people, people just learning how to grow plants, using one plant for a variety of purposes, people who are not yet prepared to enter the world of Tomato Opinions. Top reccomendations are: -If you really must have an early-fruiting tomato, the Wayahead is an heirloom that people swear comes in early with good size, flavor and firm structure.  I have not personally tied this varietal but people I trust like it. -Black Krim: GOD-TIER TOMATO. It’s got it all- flavor, high yields, firm structure, pest and disease resistence, fucking purple stripes. Cans Well, Freezes well, seeds well and breeds true. Fuck yes. Other tomatoes fucking WISH they had what this Hot Bitch has. -Invincible is a damn-hard-to-kill tomato that isn’t very large but fruits reliably and preforms well all around.  it also ripens 3 fruits at a time so you’re not constantly overburdened with Tomato.  Probably my top pick for beginners that need an Emotional Support Crop.

5. Fun: This is not, strictly speaking, a traditional type of tomato, but I feel like it’s an important category for people who want to do something different or really enjoy all Tomatoes have to offer. Good For: Trying new things, taunting the garden gods with my hubris, showing off at the garden FB group, discovering new flavors of plant.

Top Reccomendations: -Mr. Stripey:  it has a goofy name, it’s yellow-and-pink striped, and it smells and tastes almost exactly like pineapple, but it doesn’t try to digest you back.  I love it. -Japanese Truffle: Dark Brown tomato that looks like someone tried to make ferro rochers at home and bungled it, and has a LONG maturation time, BUT it’s got a chocolately flavor and even at maturity has green insides which give it this. Lightness?  it’s hard to describe but it’s a fascinating flavor. The plant also is more branched and elegant than most tomatoes. Very different, very cool. -I have not personally tried Cherokee Purple but I have heard good things about it. We’ll see how it does in the garden this year. -Tomatillos and Ground Cherries:  Not actually tomatoes, but closely related. Neat herbaceous sort of flavor, like thyme but to the left.  Also comes in a fun Organic wrapping paper. -Ketchup ‘n’ Fries: a Sweet 100 tomato top grafted onto Kennebec Potato rootstock, so it grows both tomato AND potato!  Grafting was invented prbably about a week after the concept of agriculture was, and consists of taking two or more closely related plants and taping a cutting of oone into a hole in the other until the plants heal together.  Like that one gorilla-dude from Umbrella academy, but without the angst.  You can get them pre-made or attempt to make them at home if you’re feeling adventurous and are OK with potentially killing a bunch of starts while you learn.

Good Luck and Happy Gardening!

My first tomato from the garden this year was this beautiful Pink Brandywine. 🤤🤤

[ohifonlyx33]

so... today i named my tomato plants cause that’s normal, right? the weird part is the backstories I gave them....

anyway... i got Antonio (we call ‘im Big Tony ‘round ‘ere), he’s the classic slicing tomato but make no mistake... he’ll slice ya right back if you cross ‘im ‘cause he ain’t no average Bob the Tomato if you know what I’m sayin’.... Listen........ He’s a loyal guy but TRUST ME you do NOT wanna mess with ‘im. They say he owns half the pasta industry and if you step outta line, you get CANNED.

Then there’s-a Georgina and-a Francisco the-a-Roma Twins-a, for-a making the-a-sauces and-a-such... they’re-a-quite-a-friendly pair. They come-a from a rich-a-family, yes? But-a they are-a still-a young and-a do not-a realize what their-a-papa does-a yet. Georgina was trained to-a-sing-a and-a play-a-music-a and-a dance in the-a ballet. She is expected to marry well and-a climb-a the-a social ladder, but-a she has-a plans of her own... Francisco likes-a to-a cook-a and-a would-a like-a to have a nice-a quiet little family-a... but he-a will-a have-a-to take over the-a family-a-company-a one day-a, despite-a being a dis-a-ppoint-a-ment to his father though it is-a sweet-a little Georgiana who has-a the-a talent for-a business and-a the-a competitive edge-a it-a takes-a to be-a ruthless. 

Sabine is a quirky but chic local variety; she is a connoisseur of the arts, currently studying photography and journalism in new york. She’s thinking of traveling overseas to France to explore the culture and maybe get a French Art Student to date her. She’s cool, but a little elite. She’s drawn to the Avante Garde and minimalism and runway fashion.

At last we come to my personal favorite the beautiful Lady Opal, an elegant Heirloom Pink Brandywine who lives in a lavish castle manor in the English countryside. Although she’s inherited great wealth from her estate, she is not snobbish--a bit proud or vain, and a tad naïve perhaps, but not cold nor haughty nor greedy. She is kind and philanthropic at her best, and a complete romantic in every sense of the word. Although she has no need to marry, she dreams of falling in love. She fears she may have already fallen in love... with a poor farmer’s Mortgage Lifter Tomato Plant named Gerald, the finest plant in all the gardens, to her eyes... though such a romance may be considered socially unacceptable.
