I never saved seed before,this year I will. The volunteer tomatoes are the best looking ones in my garden.

No doubt they were good, you guys. I love heirloom tomatoes for their rich and full tomato taste. The flavor is incredible. I can't wait to harvest some heirloom "Red Currant" cherry tomatoes this season.

Here were some from last year that I grew in a hanging basket. Brought the basket inside in late October to protect it from frost and allow a late crop of cherries to ripen into November, in my very sunny living room. They were delicious. Here they were...

Here was the plant when it was outside in late Spring last year, just getting started...

Here's a pic taken after harvesting some of the fruits that ripened in my apartment, for a salad....

They were absolutely delicious!

You other Mortgage Lifter growers- my plant only has a few tomatoes on it. One that is getting ready to be picked (the second from this plant) and one other. Is this unusual? Temps have been very hot during the day, and never below 55 F at night. They are watered almost daily. Remember they are in upside down planters. The Brandywine has no trouble setting; only with people or deer that steal them.

Abnshrek · 07-18-2010, 08:23 PM

I don't have mortgage lifters in upside-down planters but the one's I do if they were in the ground would have a lot more production of larger tomatoes from my experience. :^)

Just picked a 2x summer squash - they grew together

saltydad · 07-21-2010, 11:35 PM

Tony- that article was a big help. Sounds like the Mortgage Lifter is not the most prolific with tomato set. A shame, as it is delicious.

sunfish · 07-22-2010, 03:19 PM

Giant Green only one on this plant

That's what I should have done with my first tomato before some pests (I don't know what) got it. Can any one on this forum tell me whether there is way to help tomatoes ripen on the vine?
