Tempting Tomatoes^™ 'Garden Treasure' Lycopersicon esculentum

Container grown along with Garden Gem. Had no idea what to expect but I like the results. Have a small irrigation timer on all the plants. Used mild organic tomato fertilizer every two weeks. In Georgia we have stretches of no rain and extreme heat. Not a good combination for tomatoes. Had initial success - they grew like weeds - while the temperatures were moderate Spring to Summer and a small but tasty yield from both varieties. The plants were struggling - dropping older leaves due to the heat - but putting out new growth just as quickly. Surprisingly they survived through the summer and after the heat broke they have both produced heavy yields. I've been eating tomatoes through mid September and October and now it's almost November. I will not cover them (since I had expected them to be done well before now) and it's a 'race' between what will ripen before the frost gets them. We're about to have 3 days with temps at night in the mid 30's. Yes. I'd grow them both again. Plan to pick the semi red ones tonight before this cold snap begins. They ripen very well inside with a sweet mild flavor. Hope this helps.

I had so many large sized tasty tomatoes!

This plant is taking off in a 15" container! (wish I had put it in a 20" and bigger cage) After transplant shock (~2 days) it's more than doubled in height and at least tripled in leaves in one week. It will probably.double in height again in a week of current growth continues. I should probably prune some of the suckers and shoots, but it's amazing how much this plant grows every day since it's roots got a hold on to the potting soil and fertilizer and local climate. (Colorado. 6-9 hrs direct sun as a few more hours of partial shade) This is by far the strongest of the 4 tomato varieties I planted in containers this year and I'm looking forward to some fruit in a few weeks (already had a few flowers about a week after the ~6" start Used miracle gro organic potting mix with happy frog tomato/vegetable 5-7-3 fertilizer at recommended premix levels, and a dash of booster at ~ 10 days
