Calling all Tomato growers

[Mozzy]

Been thinking of you folks...staggering/up-potting some cherry tomato seeds from '23 and '24 (among other things) indoors in sets, a couple weeks apart while it gets to more proper temps outdoors soon. These are the first sets from earlier in the month:

@Mossy Our Tomato season starts next month and I had to build a fence around my veggie patch as we get wild pigs during the mango season , I also have around 1000 ltr of soil I built , being the first year on the property I am hoping I picked the right spot , so I will be growing in very large pots in case I have to move it , and for a bit of fun we are having a tomato comp at one of the local pubs , -- largest tomato -- and as far as work goes too bloody much . I tend to get full rebuilds , not just mowing , I priced a job on Monday and put a big price on it because I did not want to do it and bugger me dead , he wants me to do it -

Just finishing tomatoe season here in NZ. I always do a couple of beefsteaks and this season, up a teddy bears butt, I snuck in an amazing dark blue tomatoe variety from Baker Creek seeds, bred in Belgium, called Sart Rolaise, it is a beefsteak style with a slight pineapple flavour. Real good.
I have lots of heritage orange tomatoe varieties from NZ if you are after any. They are really nice and bred by a heritage vegetable trust to have high lycopene and flavanoids.

Serious do you think heritage orange would do good in the states.Im
In Ohio .

Two sets of purple cherry-tomatoes from January, and a couple weeks later, as of a couple weeks ago:

The two big cherry tomatoes I started as indoor seeds around New Years have been outdoors about 50 days now I think (90ish total), and their second transplant into my own compost seems to be working pretty good...they've fought through some rough and unexpected weather but they should have some good times coming:
