| In the late spring
of 2007 I planted some brandywine tomato seeds, and had brandywine tomato
plants! Here is a picture of a beautiful, potato-leaf brandywine
tomato plant. I grew these in one gallon water jugs with the
tops cut off and holes poked in the bottom. They work decent, and have
cool handles, but they do need to be watered regularly as there is not
much room for soil in there. Here in south
Louisiana it gets so hot in the summer, the poor brandywine tomato
had a hard time making fruit while battling blossom rot and the insects.
But we will try growing some more brandywine tomatoes perhaps in 2009,
maybe indoors until they are much hardier to face the tough conditions
here. I absolutely loved the beautiful leaves of the brandywine tomato
plant. |
