Starfire Tomato

May 24: My garden is sun challenged. (Recently upgraded sun exposure 6-7 hours.) I get 5 1/2 to 2 hours of direct sun over the course of a season and have been growing tomatoes for four seasons now, including this one. Began encountering: Leaf Diseases, Hornworms, and the wasp larvae. Deer, Birds, Squirrels, Slugs and Bugs. Molds and Mildews. Low Yield. The Starfire has the biggest tomatoes of all the 18 varieties I have planted in containers this year. It sprouted well, has been strong and produced fruit before all the others including another similar Canadian variety called Manitoba: Started the plants in mid February. All the container tomatoes have "greenies" now but Starfire was first. The two biggest tomatoes are small, 1 1/2 " diameter greenies that appear to be changing color. The shoulders are lightening. I think they're beautiful and I look forward to tasting them. I sprouted and planted several Dwarf Tomatoe Project tomatoes, some regular cherries and an Early Girl. All in 5 gallon buckets with a blend of peat moss, vermiculite, compost, and worm castings. They all appear in very good health and Starfire is doing great; good foliage, strong stalk, lots of flowers, itty bitty greenies, and visible greenies. And a couple of small tomatoes that are turning color. And it's not even June.
