Cindy, I'm growing Eva's Purple Ball, Flame, Black Prince, Pruden's
Purple and Prince Borghese. They all seem to be doing well, though
the
Pruden's Purple looks a little mutated to me, and has yet to set any
fruit. The rest have fruit but have not ripened yet (except for a
couple early Flames).
I'm also growing Sungold, a hybrid cherry tomato that is simply
heavenly. Someone was singing its praises earlier on this list (or
maybe the square foot list), and I do agree.
My main problem this year is with whitefly ... My plants are
completely infested, and spraying with garlic/cayenne doesn't seem to
make a difference. Does anyone have any suggestions?
