This weekend I plan to plant out a few tomatoes for the fall garden.
I started seeds in the middle of June for five varieties.

Black Cherry
Bought a seedling this spring, but it turned out to be something else.

JD's Early Black
My favorite early tomato.

Plainsman
New to me, would like to hear impressions of others who have grown them.
Thanks again Linda for pointing this one out. How did yours do this Spring?

New Big Dwarf
Also new to me, these will go in containers.

Anna Russian (The triumph of hope over experience.)
Don't know if the wimpy foliage will hold up in the August heat, but I am hopeful.

Yesterday I bought a 6 pack of Tycoon.

Anyone else planting for Fall yet?

I guess I should be! I was thinking to wait until August to start my tomatoes from seeds. My earliest frost has been November 9. Maybe I should rethink this one. I don't usually plant tomatoes in the fall. Disappointed in the ones that I grew this year. Wild Fred had very little foliage and grew about 5 feet tall. Very few tomatoes. It died about 3 weeks ago. Cherokee Purple has been my best producer, but still not the flavor I wanted. My Romas were very light weight and had too much foliage. Producing like crazy now. I just want a nice tomato about the size of a baseball. I have Golden Jubilee seeds from a few years ago. That's my favorite tasting tomato so far after Jersey tomatoes grown in New Jersey. I don't know why they taste so good grown there.
