oh yeah ? Do you get a good crop out of it & is it the "Jesrey" variety ? We LOVE asparagus - but thats not my idea of what I thought it looked like growing in a patch and have been considering it. T, yes its Jersey Supreme from Johnnys. They are 3yo plants. You are supposed to allow them to grow the first couple of years to get the plants well established. This year I was all ready to harvest most of it. The yield was amazing, but the problem is the spears start coming up in mid-April here and they grow incredibly fast. Maybe a few inches a day. So if you don't stay on top of it, which I didn't do a great job of because I was so busy, before you know it the spears are 2 feet tall and no longer tender and harvestable. So I just let them grow. This pic is from last spring. I plan to eliminate half of the plants. Can ship you a couple of crowns if you want.

As lefty says, the female parent is generally listed first and the male parent (Pollen donor) listed second. And yes, most times is makes no difference which parent you use as the female or male although it does help in the occasional cross by making it certain in the F1 if the cross has "took" or not.

So how is someone's opinion "mis-information" I am another one that doesn't give any credence to all of the different "strains" of all these other varieties that pop up year after year. IMO, its just another way for people to gain notoriety by being part of the history of a certain "new" variety. A variety which is probably only a re-naming of some other one that is already known. Now, obviously this "cowlicks" is not Brandywine OTV since it obviously is pink and not red, but am I supposed to believe that you or any of these other backyard gardeners from all these other tomato forums can tell the difference between this so-called cowlicks and sudduths or another generic pink, PL brandywine? Half of them don't know the difference between a pink and red fruit. I grew Sudduth's in 2008 and it was one of the most productive plants in my garden that year due to optimal temps for fruit set throughout June. I ended up harvesting around 25 fruit from that vine. Camo, you garden in PA. Who's to say that the same conditions didn't happen to you??? How many years have you grown this variety?? Now, I am not calling you a liar nor am I saying that you should not retain any credibility because apparently you have been growing tomatoes for quite a few years. I am simply saying that there is plenty of reason for debate because in actuality, there really are no "facts" on this variety along with most others in general. There are simply observations and interpretations. Peace...

This was a good tomato. Grew it in 09 for first time. 6-8 oz fruit, Good flavor, avg yield but in a bad season, RL vines, yellow skin. Brad develops some very good tomatoes of the ones I've tried. I didn't care for his black heart. I have tried that one, large barred boar, BTDH and this year I'm growing Berkeley Tie-Dye to compare.

this is unscientific, but the plant least affected by late blight in my garden last year was hungarian oval. Mine was Daniels. Which I am growing this year along with Mountain Magic and West Virginia '63. Hopefully I wont need to test any resistance.

If you are getting a flush of ripe ones now, chances are they may be June bearers.
Mine love strawberries. You can't get much healthier fruit for them either.

The particular fungicide families or the systemic part? Both.
