The "Potager du Laesseux" in the Dordogne

[jpbord]

sorry the photos are returned and you have to see them by the end compared to the list

[sicetaitsimple]

here are the varieties I planted

fantasio F1 round of medium size and quite prolific. taste: firm, moderately fragrant
Gourmandia F1 type beef heart with large fruit 550 g prolific taste: very fleshy and fragrant I really liked it in salads
Fandango F1 round medium size and quite prolific. taste: firm, moderately fragrant

Hi,

to clarify immediately, I have no a priori against F1, in any case no a priori of an ideological nature.

On the other hand, I tell myself that we, amateurs, do not have real production constraints which would prevent us from turning to more traditional varieties, often very tasty, and reproducible.

Hence my question: is it "a bit of luck" that makes you buy F1 plants or is it a choice based on your experience?

In fact it is pure chance, on these three variety, I have other plans but just to try ex: black crimé ect ....
I've been changing for 4 years and writing down to get an idea of ​​some truths I would do every year.
I like to change for different flavors.

OK, seen, thank you.

PS: I do not know who gave the address, but if you are "fanatic" of tomatoes, I recommend you to take a look at the tomodori.com site, there is on their forum real "lit" and a forum with cultural follow-ups where everyone can come and tell their season, with photos, ... I reassure you, I'm not there! At least not yet!

I had this last year ... It held up relatively well, even if the primary outbreaks being there, we cannot say "not reached". I rather think that the defense mechanisms - because the plant reacts against attacks, produces enzymes and modifies its composition to better resist .... - are better established. I had a small production ...

Did you have a condensation problem ??? Where does he have a lot more at home ???

thank you for the answer,
it is especially the stormy rains of the last days on Bergerac which caused all this and since yesterday it is the free fall of temperatures at 22h this evening on my station barely 10 ° ....

if you spend one day in the Dordogne my door and wide open (room and meal free, figs stuffed with fats, duck breast duck sprayed with pecharmant etc ...)

It is worth for others ??????

I also note that for forumeurs who would like to come and take a little tour to Mont St Michel, we have fitted out in what was an attic an absolutely charming apartment (even if the Velux-based lighting makes my seedlings spin in early spring !!!).

It is neither a gite nor a bed and breakfast, it is welcome to those who would like to spend there!

An opportunity to discover Poiré, which is the local liquid specialty.

PS: provided we are there anyway, but we will be there more and more often, retirement is approaching .....

I am a stone's throw from Bergerac .... with the same stormy rains and a similar drop in night temperatures. I must be lucky, I haven't found any cryptogamic attacks on the tomato stems yet.
