This year I had way too many little tomatoes and not enough slicers. I will review the seed catalog's descriptions, but I'm pretty sure mine either grew smaller than described, or they were misleading. Both are a strong possibility, since I planted them only 18" apart, rather than the recommended 24". but that's another "what not to do next time" article...
Pineapple was my favorite slicer this year. Out of two plants, i had two tomatoes. One last one is still on the vine, ripening a bit more each day (Yes! in November!). I don't know how much longer it can stay on there...but I figure this weather is like Seattle's summer, so it can't be too hard on the little guys. :)
I planted one other winning slicer from prior years, the Martian Giant, but it only just put one fruit out. It's a bummer, though, because the rain we had the other day split it and the fruit flies are enjoying it instead of me. Must pick it today for the compost pile.
All of the other tomatoes seemed to be about 2 or 3". Salad tomatoes. Not slicers.
Next year more big tomatoes!
