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?

What Are Heirlooms and Why Bother with Heirloom Tomatoes? “Heirloom” or heritage crop varieties are usually old cultivars, no longer in wide use by large-scale commercial growers. Some are truly hand-me-down selections nurtured by generations of family gardeners; others may be early releases from USDA or land grant university breeding programs that remain in limited use by gardeners and small farmers.

  • 2021 Vegetable List

    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.

SO SAVE A FEW SEEDS OF YOUR FAVORITE VARIETY THIS YEAR The flower structure of most tomatoes is set up for a very high rate of self-pollination. Possible cross- pollination can happen by exposure to the “currant” types of tomatoes, L. pimpinellifolium. Potato-leafed varieties and the double flowered beefsteak types are also possible sources of cross-pollination. With currant types, potato-leafed varieties and double-flowered varieties, isolation is important due to elongated styles and exposed stigmas. Caging is useful when many of these easily cross-pollinated varieties are planted. Wind helps with good pollination of tomato flowers. The agitation of breezes can be enhanced with a daily gentle shaking of the tomato plants, especially when the plants are grown indoors. Do not select early fruits of tomatoes for seed saving. Instead, select tomatoes formed after the initial cold of spring is gone and the tomato plant is in good production. Also avoid fruits from diseased plants, as diseases can be passed from year to year through seeds. Choose fully ripe fruits that have the shape, color or other characteristics you are interested in. Cut your chosen tomatoes across their “equator” and scoop all the gel and seeds into a container.
