Brandy Boy

15 years ago

Pleasantly surprised with these..I have two plants about 3 ft tall in my clay soil garden and they are setting fruit very sucessfully. They have three or four small tomatoes each from one bloom cluster and the leaves are gi-normous. I have Estlers Mortgage Lifter also so I have a good one for comparison. Also have Pink Pounder in the garden and Giant Belgium still under grow lights. Shouldnt be diff to see which is the better cultivar. Things are looking up, hot weather or no...Cherokee Purple in container is setting fruit also but this is my first yr doing that and two other plants are BER all the way so far(Bush Goliath and Better Bush)..these are in the 5-1-1 mix. Its all good

I'm trying Brandy Boy for the first time this year and anxious to taste it! Seeds were started indoors and plants went into the garden mid/late April under WOWs. They're nearly as tall as yours.

We had a cold, wet spring and then the temps skyrocketed. No tomatoes yet, other than on the Sungold, but blossoms everywhere and now that it's cooling after 90* weather, hopefully will set fruit. CP is my slowest one. GB was the second to get blossoms after the SG.

I really griped about the April and May weather so I want to say how nice the weather is now for vegetables. I have corn, beans, tomatoes(54), cukes, squash, bells, hot peppers, leaf lettuce, eggplants and kohlrabi and its all good....happy gardening.
