Brand new on the forum but less to cultivate using hay

[olivier75]

This year I tried the Tlacolula pink, a variety "of origin" of the Amerindians, not very beautiful but good, which grew without a stake and tomatoes on the ground, solid foot and without disease last week, damaged by hail from the ends must have been amputated, because they have been picked for a week.

My faith regarding the size of the tomatoes is not above all a question of variety ???

Yes Yes. It is, with me, a variety. Who I blame for being late. This year, she gives. Last year, I don't know if I have one. Yes, some half damaged. I was able to eat the rest.

Ah well that reassures me ...

The main thing is that it "takes your mouth away" ....

We have orange cherries ... no taste ... they won't come back in the second year
Red cherries on the other hand are delicious

I don't remember where I mentioned it: there is currently a complete "madness" around the varieties of tomatoes, with sometimes a "snobbery" which leaves me perplexed.

Basically, modern varieties are all disgusting (some are!).

And the old varieties all geniusaaaaaaaales, extraaaaaaaaaaaa, supeeeeeeeeeeeeeer ... We forget the "halo" effect.

Me too, some of the curious ones have disappointed me tastefully. I have yolks which are "floury", little taste, etc ... I do not keep any seed.

And I have a "modern" which is a delight ...

I suggest you do "objectified" tastings with your guests. Plates, with numbers. You don't say anything. You serve. And you wait for judgment. I'm sure you will have quite a few surprises once the snobbery is gone. It can be a funny little game.

Because obviously, by "presenting" a variety in a positive way, the judgment is made: "Give me this, it's extra, an old variety already cultivated by the Incas that a friend gave me ..."
