Tomatoes

The final list of tomato varieties for 2013 is as follows:

Yellow Brandywine, Platfoot Strain
Red Brandywine, Regular Leaf
Red Rose
Flamme
Goldman's Italian American
Gold Medal
Pruden's Purple
Black Prince
Wapsipinicon Peach
Omar's Lebanese
African Queen
Amish Paste (appropriate that we are moving to central PA, and this variety is thought to have originated in Lancaster, PA)
Big Beef
Sun Gold
Super Sweet 100

All plants except for Amish paste, Big Beef, and Black Prince were started from seed.

Each plant was transplanted into approximately 0.5 cubic feet of Coast of Maine Quoddy Blend Lobster Compost.  I put a handful of Tomato Tone tomato food and a half-handful of dolomite lime into each transplant hole.  The plants were then watered with compost tea, which the kids helped me make.  The next day, they were watered with Actinovate, an organic microbial antifungal spray.

We won't be back to check on the garden until we move next month, so hopefully things go smoothly in the meantime.
