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. -

Flavors from the Past
flavors from the past Heirloom Tomatoes ing, packing, refrigeration, and long-dis- tance shipping. Tomato skins grew thick- er and the fruit became harder. 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? A consensus as to what defines an heirloom still eludes us. One constant that experts When it comes to growing and eating the best-tasting tomato, agree upon is that it must be an open-pol- linated variety.

Variety Guide: 2021
Variety Guide: 2021 A note on where we source our seeds We are fortunate to have a long-standing relationship with Johnny’s Selected Seeds, an employee-owned company based out of Maine. All of the seeds we get in bulk to redistribute to you at Winter Meeting and many of the seeds we grow into seedlings come from Johnny’s. They specialize in plant breeding (non-GMO), research, and seed production using both conventional and organic methods. A number of the varieties we provide are actually developed by Johnny’s – they will be marked in this guide as “Bred by Johnny’s”. Johnny’s has a wealth of helpful educational resources in their Grower’s Library, and you can type variety names into the search bar on their website to find more growing information. This year we are excited to source a significant number of varieties from local seed company Truelove Seeds. Truelove offers rare, open pollinated, and culturally important vegetable, herb, and flower seeds grown by more than 20 small-scale urban and rural farmers committed to community food sovereignty, cultural preservation, and sustainable agriculture – many of them are based in Philadelphia and the surrounding area.

Scrolling through Truelove’s online catalogue is an incredible experience because along with growing and harvesting information, many variety descriptions include stories behind the seeds, cooking recommendations, and growers’ sentiments on their relationship to the plants. -
Tomato Varieties
Anderson’s Seed and Garden, Inc. “Our Seeds Succeed” Tomato Varieties There are many excellent tomato varieties available to home gardeners, both new and old. Selection should consider productivity, freedom from fruit splitting and disease resistance. Fusarium wilt and verticillium wilt are two common problems that can be overcome by selecting wilt-resistant varieties and rotating the planting so that these organisms are not able to build up in the soil. Leaf diseases such as early blight cause substantial leaf damage in many home gardens. The following varieties are oens that have good disease resistance and are high quality as well. Beefmaster VFN This beefsteak-type of tomato has maintained popularity for many years. The firm, meaty red fruits may weigh up to 2 pounds. Plants are extremely vigorous and productive. Production begins about 80 days from planting into the garden. Better Boy VFN A variety with vigorous plants that have gained and maintained popularity for many years. Fruits are bright red and may weigh up to about one pound. Fruits are firm, round and produced abundantly with first production about 75 days from transplants. Big Beef VFFNA This variety has a greater range of disease resistance than many others and won an All-America Selections award in 1994. Fruits may range from 10 to 12 ounces and are produced abundantly. They are smooth, red and produced about 73 days from planting into the garden. Celebrity VFFNTA This variety was an All-America Selections winner in 1984 but continues to be popular. Plants are determi- nate, which indicates that vines are short, and bushy, not lending themselves to staking. -
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. -

Heirloom Tomato Cultivar Evaluation at Saint Charles, Illinois – 2004 *Denise Cimmarrusti, William H
Heirloom Tomato Cultivar Evaluation at Saint Charles, Illinois – 2004 *Denise Cimmarrusti, William H. Shoemaker, University of Illinois As many new varieties of tomato become available on the market, choosing the right one becomes increasingly more important. Not only does selection affect the consumer, it can also have an impact on the grower. In determining selection, one must think of the traits each cultivar offers. Heirloom tomatoes, like hybrids, are unique in their offerings, and each needs to be carefully selected based on the cultivar’s characteristics and the grower’s management style. Traits such as: yield, disease/crack resistance, and color/flavor all play an important role in the selection process. Choosing the right cultivar, in the right location, for the right season will influence marketability and the perception of heirloom tomatoes. This evaluation was established at the University of Illinois, Saint Charles Horticulture Research Center to evaluate heirloom tomatoes and their characteristics. The data collected provides a comparative assessment of these characteristics. With this being the third season of growing heirloom tomatoes in an evaluation, varieties were sorted based on their unique characteristics. Cultivar chosen for this years’ evaluation were based on specific traits. These included cultivars which had previously shown the following: good crack resistance, moderate yield capability, adequate size/weight, and good disease resistance. Materials and Methods Transplant Production Fifty-five heirloom tomato cultivars were seeded in the greenhouse facilities on April 2. Seedlings were grown in 50 cell plastic trays. Plants were transplanted into the field on May 14 and watered in with a nutrient starter solution.
