  • 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.

  • 2021 Vegetable List
    Common Vegetable Diseases Anthracnose - Most prevalent in the eastern U.S., anthracnose appears as small, sunken spots on stems, leaves or fruit. When conditions are warm and wet, pink spores may appear in the center of these spots. Beans, cucumbers, melons, and tomatoes are most often affected by this disease. To control, apply lime-sulfur spray early in the growing season (just as leaf buds break) and continue throughout the season. Severely infected plants should be destroyed. Bacterial Leaf Spot - Infected foliage has small, dark brown or black water-soaked pots. As the disease progresses, these spots will dry up and crack, leaving holes. Leaves may drop prematurely. Cabbage-family crops, peppers and tomatoes are most often infected with bacterial spot. Apply copper-based fungicides every 7 days when symptoms first appear to prevent the disease from spreading. Control can be difficult, especially during wet weather. Common Rust - Rust diseases are found on a variety of vegetable crops including, corn, beans, asparagus and onions. Symptoms appear as reddish brown powdery spots on leaves that rub off when touched. Prune plants and remove weeds to provide good air circulation. Hand-pick infected leaves to reduce infection. Remove and destroy seriously infected plants. Apply sulfur fungicides to plants early to prevent infection or to keep light problems from spreading. Late Blight - Arriving late in the growing season, late blight affects primarily tomatoes ad potato plants. Look for water-soaked, gray-green spots on leaves. As the disease matures a white fungal growth may form on the undersides. Select resistant varieties when available and dispose of all infected plant parts.

  • Casey's Heirloom Tomatoes of Airdrie
    Casey’s Heirloom Tomatoes of Airdrie Seeds for 2006 Jeffrey Casey [email protected] Casey’s Heirloom Tomatoes of Airdrie page 1/22 Introduction It is with great pleasure that I offer the following heirloom tomato seed catalogue for your perusal. My love for growing vegetables has grown exponentially from my first miniscule plot out behind my teachers’ housing unit in a small town in Hokkaido, Japan to my current garden in which I grew 85 different tomato varieties last year. Growing heirloom tomatoes has turned me into a passionate hobbyist so much so that I firmly believe that others should also grow them and this provided the genesis for this catalogue. The exact definition of an heirloom tomato may evoke controversy amongst some growers but I prefer to think of a heirloom as “something of value that can be passed on to the next generation”. Our forefathers practised diligently the time honoured tradition of saving the seed from the harvest to be planted again the following year. It is precisely because someone took the time to save the seed A single days’ harvest for a variety they thought was delicious enough to grow the following year that I am able to offer a wide range of heirloom tomatoes in terms of shapes, sizes, colours, flavours and textures. I have tried my utmost to research the history of each variety and provide it for you, however, some varietal histories are unfortunately lost in time. I have done my utmost to ensure the purity of my seeds that I offer by bagging the blossoms and fermenting the seeds.

  • Evaluation of Grape and Cherry Tomatoes in Northern New Jersey 2003
    Appendix A.03 EVALUATION OF GRAPE AND CHERRY TOMATOES IN NORTHERN NEW JERSEY 2003 Peter Nitzsche, Morris County Agricultural Agent, RCE William Tietjen, Warren County Agricultural Agent, RCE Wesley Kline, Cumberland County Agricultural Agent, RCE Stephen Garrison, Professor Emeritus, RCE Introduction The market for grape and cherry tomatoes has rapidly expanded. The main variety of grape tomato sold in supermarkets is ‘Santa’ which is no longer available to local growers. Evaluations were conducted to find a replacement variety for ‘Santa’ so local growers can capture this market. Objectives Evaluate the performance of varieties grape and cherry tomatoes in Northern NJ. Materials & Methods Seeds of twenty four varieties of grape and cherry tomatoes were sown on April 15, 2003 in 72-cell (1 1/2”X 1 1/2”) trays containing peat-vermiculite media formulated for tomato transplant production. Seedlings were thinned to 1 plant per cell. Fertilizer at the rate of 50 lbs N, 100 lbs P2O5, and 100 lbs K2O/acre was incorporated into the experimental area Seedlings were set with a water wheel transplanter into the field June 11, 2003. into raised beds 24” between plants and 6‘ between rows with trickle irrigation and black plastic mulch. Plots consisted of 8 plants and were replicated three times in a randomized complete block design. Plants were trellised on 7’stakes pounded 12”-18” deep into the beds. Pest management was done according to 2003 Commercial Vegetable Recommendations for NJ. Plants were visually evaluated for vine vigor, fruit cover and foliar disease and plant height was measured in feet in two of the plot replications.
