Flavor took a backseat in the breeding of hybrids in favor of characteristics that enhanced pro- ductivity, uniformity, disease-resistance, and long shelf life. Heirlooms can have their downside. Though some heirlooms are quite pro- ductive, many produce lower yields than hybrids. Also, heirloom fruits have soft- er flesh and thinner skins, making them less suited to long-term storage because they are more likely to bruise or spoil. But tender skins, plump juiciness, appe- tizing texture, and unadulterated flavor is a big part of what makes growing heir- looms so appealing for a home gardener. WHAT IS AN HEIRLOOM?

  • 2018 Summary for Knoxville Location of Tennessee Home Vegetable Trials Natalie R
    2018 Summary for Knoxville Location of Tennessee Home Vegetable Trials Natalie R. Bumgarner, Plant Sciences Department, University of Tennessee Institute of Agriculture (UTIA), Knoxville, Tennessee Introduction There are many factors other than yield that contribute to success in vegetable gardens. Taste, appearance, novelty, and ease of management as well as how the cultivar fits in garden space is important. These various factors mean that trials for gardeners need to address the growing habit of crops, ease of establishment and disease resistance that contributes to ease of management, appearance, and productivity. Currently, there are many novel and/or disease resistant cultivars being introduced, but their quality for the home gardener is not well known. These preliminary single replication trials seek to assess a range of crops and cultivars for suitability and expanded trialing in Tennessee vegetable gardens. Materials and Methods Transplant Production and Crop Establishment Transplanted crops were started in bay 1 (glass greenhouse with automatic shading and mist bench) of the UT Greenhouse in open seedling trays on 10 March, 2018. At the appearance of true leaves, seedlings were transplanted to 36 count, deep cell trays. Transplanting was done on 28 March and 29 March, 2018. Prior to transplanting in the field, plants were grown in a plastic covered heated greenhouse and hardened off in a shaded cold frame or outdoors on the UT campus. Trial plots were located at the East Tennessee Research and Education Center (ETREC), Organic Crops Unit (OCU) in plot L, which is a non-certified plot that allows for the use of conventional management practices.

  • Tomato Terminology
    Tomatoes are one of the most popular vegetables in the United States, second only to potatoes. Although this is partially thanks to ketchup, garden fresh tomatoes have a special place in many of our hearts. When purchasing tomato plants, labeling can often raise more questions than it answers. What is an indeterminate tomato? Are grafted tomatoes worth the expense? Hybrid or heirloom? “Indeterminate”: A plant with this label will grow continually throughout the season, reaching heights of 4-6’ tall. This height requires the gardener to stake the plant as it grows. The side branch will produce blooms and set fruit. The result is a plant loaded with tomatoes. Although plentiful fruit sounds wonderful, as the season progresses these tomatoes are often small. Indeterminate Variety Examples: Beefmaster, Beefy Boy, Big Beef, Cherokee Purple, Early Girl, Jet Star, SunSugar, Golden Rave, Italian Gold, Super Italian Paste, Plum Dandy, Super Marzano, Esterina, Juliet, Suncherry, Supersweet 100, Chef’s Choice, Jetsetter, Amanda Orange, Black Krim, Mortage Lifter. “Determinate”: This plant will produce a limited number of side branches, bloom all at once and produce an abundance of fruit in a short timeframe, with similarly sized fruit throughout. Determinate Variety Examples: Amelia, Bush Early Girl, Crista, Roma, Florida 91, Mountain Series, Margherita, BHN 871, Sweet Tangerine, Little Napoli, Plum Crimson, Tumbling Tom, Sweet Olive, Carolina Gold, Florida 47, Primo Red, Scarlet Red. “Grafted”: Grafted tomato plants are an attempt to fight off soil borne diseases like fusarium and verticilium wilt. This is done by combining a disease resistant tomato root system (rootstock) with the desired tomato fruit on top (scion).
