'Super Fantastic' Tomatoes, August 6, 2018

Harvest Monday, Our World Tuesday, and Ruby Tuesday Too

Prentiss County, Mississippi, USA, May 7, 2018
I bought a 'Super Fantastic' tomato as a young plant on May 7th. Be honest now, and tell me the truth. Could you just walk away from a handsome tomato plant with such a promising name?

It is an indeterminate type tomato, and the label says: Height 6 to 9 feet. Here it is seven weeks later, and taller than I am. (The tomato plant on the left is a 'Better Boy').

I had a bit of trouble with blossom-end rot, so it was not until July 21 that we were able to get tomatoes from it. The 'Super Fantastic' tomatoes are firm and nicely shaped, and only a little smaller than the predicted size of 10 ounces.

"Super Fantastic' are very good sliced for tomato sandwiches!

Have a wonderful week!

  8. I've been having trouble with blossom rot on a Sicilian Saucer tomato plant. They gave me some high calcium feed at the garden centre so I am hoping that will work. The squirrels don't seem to mind the rot! ;-)

  14. Handsome plant and tomato! I still can't pass up a tomato plant with a fun name, so I'm happy I didn't come across one. Four cherry tomato plants bloomed voluntarily in a perfect spot in the backyard. They're sweet as candy.
