Tomato Planting Workshop - Pictures and Seed List

Thank you to everyone who came to the seed planting workshop!

The pictures are now up on the flickr page - check them out using the link on the lefthand side of the blog!

Below is a list of what we planted and a bit about each variety.

Eggplant:

Black Beauty

• A standard Eggplant with dark purple skin

Onions/Leeks:

Leeks

• A standard leek that will be ready after that first frost - a long growing season but well worth it!

Utah Onion

• A standard while bulbing onion - we’ll harvest these late in the season

Green Onion

• We’ll be planting these in succession over the course of the season - the first ones should be ready in a couple of months.

Tomatoes:

Big Flesh Brandywine

• These are seeds we saved from last year. They are large tomatoes, with a pink skin and red flesh.

Cherokee Purple

• We grew a couple of these last year. They are a medium sized tomato with purple skin.

Yellow Pear

• A very prolific producer last year. This is a cherry tomato, that is yellow and pear-shaped.

Arkansas Traveller

• New to Maloca this year. A pink variety that promises to have a great flavour.

Chadwicks Cherry

• Also new to Maloca. This promises to be prolific and have great flavour.

Standard Tomato - Glamour

• Another new variety that will produce all purpose tomatoes that are medium to large, with good taste, and crack resistant.

Longkeeper

• Picked up at the Seedy Saturday seed swap. It promises to have orange fruit and can keep for up to a couple months after harvest.

Orange Tomato

• Also picked up at the Seedy Saturday seed swap. Nothing known other the name.

Stupice Tomato

• The third variety from the seed swap. This one is meant to be an early variety.

Polish Linguisa Paste Tomato

• New to Maloca. This tomato is great for sauces with a long narrow fleshy fruit.

Principe Borghese Tomato

• Mew to Maloca. This tomato is great for sauce, paste and drying, with smaller fruit and the promise of being prolific.
