Year of the "odd" tomatoes?

[wykvlvr]

I had "help" picking out the tomatoes to grow this year and I have to admit if they all produce well it will be very interesting to see the varied shapes, color, etc. For growing outside and at other folks houses we ended up with:

7 semi normal tomatoes

• Alaskan Fancy - from the MMMM swap red tomato good for fresh eating or sauce
  Dwarf Mandurang Moon - a white potato leaf
  Extreme Bush - from Baker Creek "The plants grow twelve to twenty eight inches tall" round red tomatoes
  Petite Peach - an indet gold cherry brushed with bronze on the shoulders and with hints of peach in the flavor
  Rebel Starfighter: Kayleigh Anne - a white with antho
  Cosmic Cream Centriflor - a centriflor white grape with antho
  Potato Leaf Pink Berkeley Tie Dye - an indet potato leaf that is adapted to our area and is similar to Pink Berkeley Tie Die

2 Fancy foliage varieties

• Charlene - pink with gold stripes with chartreuse foliage
  Dean's Brad Gates - an early/mid bicolor with variegated foliage)

2 fuzzy tomatoes -

• Extravagante Rouffiange Tomato
  Velvet Red - indet cherry

2 Fluted/ruffled tomatoes -

• Rossa Sicilian
  Accordion Cherry indet cherry

2 of the Exserted tomatoes

• Exserted Orange - orange or bi color that could be either indet or det...
  Exserted Tiger indet grape with stripes and antho

I just started seeded for exstreme bush for my indoor trials along with 506 dwarf and puck.. I hope that you get what your looking for..

[wykvlvr]

I had to snag it when I saw the information on it. Plus of course I have other micro dwarfs that I will start as soon as I get my big tomatoes outside.

I have two versions of Puck here. The one from Baker Creek and the one from Miss Penn's Mountain Seeds which produces a small dwarf plant with dark tomatoes. I had seed for it in the swap package that vanished... Apparently the seller was sent seeds for the plant under the name Puck but ... Clement (the toddler) will also get groovy tunes and bunny hop in his little garden plus some marigolds.

I'm still looking for T4. This fall I hope to do Stick.

I just found a bunch of new micro..thanks for sharing the other variety of puck I went ahead and ordered it:)

Why?

[wykvlvr]

Wry grin of course yall do realize that any or all of these may end up in the swap next year...

Why?

Because I don't have it? I heard T4 had a unique waxy like skin so I was rather curious to try it.

IF you were in Europe and not Texas you could get T4 from Vertiloom...

It's more sticky, like a Gummi Bear.

I'm doing Rebel Starfighter Kayleigh Anne and Charlene this year as well. I must say, Charlene is a beautiful plant.

I didn’t know where to post sorry not trying to hijack your post !! My rosella purple is definitely not a rosella purple.. the plant is tiny with egg shaped maters with anto hue stripes.. I never re started these ones .. so guess will find out..

[wykvlvr]

No problem I was sort of hoping others with "not normal" tomatoes would chime in.

All my plants are still seedlings but we are starting to harden them off as we will plant the 1st of June. What is interesting is how furry Extravagante Rouffiange is. There is no doubt that this is a furry tomato plant. Velvet Red on the other hand is not as furry. Charlene is striking at this moment with dark veins in her bright chartreuse leaves but she only has two sets of leaves. Dean's Brad Gates is not showing any variegation yet unlike Gandalf that had variegated leaves almost as soon as it had leaves.

[AKgardener]

Sounds like weird maters are going around I had a gandolf varigsted leaves right away then another mystery mater with save variegation but never grew past 2 inches.. curious to see how all of these will turn out for everyone

[wykvlvr]

LOVED the little heart shaped tomatoes on our Gandalf but it is a late tomato for me... most of my green tomato salsa came from the 4 Gandalf plants...

[AKgardener]

Never got the chance to try mine so to spider mites..

Are your Extreme Bush old enough for the leaves to curl? The new leaves on my little plants are starting to curl upward just like the description and the photo at Victory Seeds. Very different

@wykvlvr no i didnt get a chance to see them curl My little grand babies decided to have a pulling party haha.I didnt not notice there were missing until today..as a few others I will be re starting them and putting it on a higher shelf..did you start the seeds puck from penn seeds? and did they germinate well?

Found a picture of my exstreme bush plants 2022..all 4 of them they didn’t get any taller then what you see I didnt notice the leaf curl when there were little..these were from a different company

Mamie Brown's pink tomato seeds,will probably grow that indoors.
Brandymaster pink,plant is RL so probably another plant with the labels swapped.
