  • Cherry Tomatoes
    Cooperative Extension-Sacramento County 4145 Branch Center Road, Sacramento, CA 95827-3823 (916) 875-6913 Office (916) 875-6233 Fax Email: [email protected] Website: http://cesacramento.ucanr.edu Garden Notes GN 109 CHERRY TOMATOES CULTURE Cherry tomatoes have small, cherry to golf ball-sized fruit that is often used in salads. They are heat-loving plants that range in size from dwarf to seven-footers. Give them full sun, soil that is well amended with compost and a cage or stake to grow on. Plant seedlings in the garden after all danger of frost is past. Keep the soil around new transplants moist for the first 3 to 4 weeks. Water established plants when the soil dries to about 2 to 3 inches deep. Apply enough water to wet the root zone thoroughly. Since weather and the depth of rooting vary, the right interval for applying water in the summer can vary from 1 to 3 times a week to once every 10 to 14 days. Plants are best irrigated by using soaker hoses, drip irrigation, or any means that applies water slowly without wetting the foliage. To boost growth, use fish emulsion or other mild nitrogen fertilizer when the plants set their first fruit and every 4 to 6 weeks thereafter. Too much nitrogen makes plants grow leaves at the expense of fruit. Cherry tomatoes are notorious for splitting before or right after they have been picked with some varieties more prone to split than others. VARIETIES The six cherry tomato varieties listed below were grown in the Fair Oaks Horticulture Center Vegetable Demonstration Area during the spring and summer of 2007.

But when we discussed it, we realized that genetics is in many ways huge nowadays: both as a fast developing science, as a project for solving humanity’s food problems, and as an innovative new way of mankind interfering with or improving nature. We first researched on the Internet and found various interesting sub- topics. Particularly the genetically modified (GM) tomatoes drew our attention as we all love Italian food, tomato sauce and insalata caprese. The idea of creating tomatoes with a full flavor that keep longer than “normal” tomatoes is fascinating. So we read up on GM tomatoes. Our findings showed that GM tomatoes are not commercially cultivated and sold, or rather that they were sold on the U.S. and UK markets in the 90s and then with-drawn. This made us wonder: why weren’t they sold anymore? And what happened to the “FlavrSavr” tomato that was commercially distributed in the U.S.? On YouTube, we chanced upon an advert for the “FlavrSavr” tomato, which promised the customer that this new brand would have great taste, amazing quality and freshness and in addition cost less than regular tomatoes.

  • 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.
