Lisa Merrell
Tomato Man's Daugher

Tomato too pepper plants are everywhere correct straight off fifty-fifty though nosotros direct maintain but about other below freezing nighttime tonight. And, I flake the bait at Tomato Man's Daughter on West 91st Street inwards Tulsa yesterday. The trek was worth the trip because I establish what I was looking for too more.

This link volition accept you lot to their Plant List for 2018.
Specifically I wanted

Tomato San Marzano

This tomato: San Marzano: "Superb season preferred yesteryear chefs too dwelling gardeners all over the world. Slightly rectangular kind (3” x 1½”) holds upwards good on the vine too inwards storage. Solid meat is cracking for canning. This is the virtually famous plum tomato plant for making sauce." 

Tomato Black Cherry

And, I wanted 1 cherry type. Lisa recommended BLACK CHERRY "We brutal inwards beloved alongside this 1 the start out fourth dimension nosotros tasted it!!! I mean value you lot volition too. The complex rich, sweetness season is but absolutely luscious. Plants are loaded alongside perfectly circular cherry tomatoes alongside the coloring fabric too gustation of the Cherokee Purple. Customer Penelope Carr shared “Oh my, the Black Cherry, that is a trivial flake of sky on the vine! One note, though… it nearly took over Rogers County.” We telephone phone these jewels the infant Cherokee Purple."

Jimmy Nardello's 

Pepper flora varieties also abound at the nursery. I bought 2 of the obligatory  Sweet Banana "Elongated bullhorn. Light greenish/yellow that ripens to red. The onetime stand-by for frying, stuffing or salads. We swallow these yesteryear the dozens inwards the summer."

And, for something different, Lisa recommended
Jimmy Nardello’s Italian Frying Pepper "An incredible pepper, 1 of the best sweetness peppers you’ll always taste. These are splendid for frying, or roasting. Green to red, long bullhorn type, upwards to 10” long too extremely productive, too. The Best! Jimmy Nardello of Naugatuck, CT shared his prized pepper seeds alongside the SSE earlier his leave of absence inwards 1983. Jimmy’s woman raise originally brought the seeds alongside her when she emigrated to the USA inwards 1887 alongside her husband, Giuseppe Nardello, from the modest hamlet of Ruoti inwards the Basilicata Region of Southern Italy." 

Today I'll prune all the lower leaves from the tomato plant plants too flora them inwards potting reason plenty to encompass all but their leaves on top. By planting time, all the foliage nodes volition direct maintain produced root to brand the plants to a greater extent than sturdy. Then, the peppers volition become into larger pots to grow out spell the reason warms plenty to brand them  mean value they are inwards Italy. Tomato fertilizers, reason prep too trellis structure is inwards our future. But the summertime salads volition last worth every infinitesimal of the effort.
