2024 Tomato Grow List

A lot of hybrids this year as an experiment. I was really disappointed with the greenhouse yield last year and am interested in how hybrids do indoors. The two open pollinated greenhouse varieties will be (hopefully) grafted onto Estamino F1 rootstock for some extra vigour and disease resistance. If the grafting is a success then I'll probably ditch the hybrids in the greenhouse and go back to interesting open pollinated varieties next year.

Almost all of the outdoor varieties are blight resistant, except for Orange Paruche, Sparky XSL and Super Mama. One plant each of most, except for Nagina and Super Mama which will (maybe) be 9 of each.

I've had good results with submarine rootstock from Mole seeds since 2018. Germination not brilliant, 18 out of about 33 seeds this year so far but last year had 100% success with the grafts and would have been a bumper crop except that the season was cut short due to leaf mould. I see that Estamino says good resistance to leaf mould but I would think that would not apply to whatever you graft onto it. The varieties I grafted last year were;

gardeners delight, 
alicante, 
galina,
orange banana,
delicious,
brandy wine
omars (Lebanese)

A good plum (for disease resistance) is Roma VF. I grew 2 last year and got 9kg total.
