“Florida Basket” tomatoes – 2010

Posted May 26, 2010 by Jimmy Cracked-Corn in 2010, vegetable gardening.

So far, so good, with the “Florida Basket” variety of tomatoes.  The plants are growing well and flowering, but staying pretty small.  They need water almost every day already, so I might need to work out a system involving damming my rain gutters, drilling holes and hot-gluing some rubber hose.  Or maybe I’ll just remember to water them.

    Great idea! I have some of those baskets too… they look so pretty! I’ve never heard of “Florida Basket” tomatoes… are they indeterminate?

      No, these are open-pollinated determinates, if I have been told correctly. The description from the catalog I bought the seeds from said:

      Florida Basket (30 seeds)
      Perfect for growing in hanging baskets, this low-growing plant creeps 4 to 6 inches over a container’s edge. Delicious, 1 inch diameter fruit. Resistant to gray leaf spot. Determinate. 70 days.
