German Johnson

[Tenntrapper]

Got my maters this morning. Never heard of this one. Supposed to be a "parent" of the mortgage lifter. Anyway...going to try a few...48 as a matter of fact...
Also got 44 various peppers (mostly green and yellow bell), Anaheim, and cayenne.
Got one little tray (4) of cucs as well.
Beans and okra will be from seed. Not sure what else SWMBO will want..if we have room.
Anyway.... anyone ever try this tomato?

Forgot my pic....

Did you get them planted? You're going to have a lot of tomatoes and peppers.

Got the tomatoes planted late yesterday evening. Will get the peppers in the ground today.
Also got the beans and cucumbers planted before it rained Thursday.

German Johnson are a great tomato!
Little longer to production but good flavor, big fruits.
They also have a pink that is lower in acid. They are supposed to be potato leafed.

I got mortgage lifters from survival seeds. Sprout rate is 90% and still improving.

(I used to think I planted too many peppers and tomatoes. I found I simply eat more or them. Cheaper than apples. Yeah, raw, right off the plant.)

Planted more of these Mortgage babies. and something called I think AVF 52. They were a gift, mebbe unintentional I dunno, from Survival company. In white envelope no nuttin except the variety name. And, 2027. So far, every one has sprouted and got 2nd set of leaves in about 4 days. Doan know what I got on my hands here.

One of what I planted says "indeterminate 7-8 feet". Gee. Great. I have to carry a ladder?

Mortgage Lifter germination rate is now up to 96%,

Kind of heat sensitive. Handful of seeds planted did not sprout. I have had them in full sun and finally most sprouted. First group are ready for transplant.

Thinking I will take everything into garage until this storm passes by.
