Tried and true is great, but sometimes new is better
For what seems like 8 million years , I have grown ‘ Tomatoberry ’ . It ’s a small cherry tomato variety that is not rare or superflashy , but it works well for me , so I stick with it . My horticulture protagonist are similar : They establish the same varieties class after year because those varieties are proven performers and they do n’t require to mess with what run . But when you rock the boat a bit , you occasionally stumble upon a new change that is just as great , or perhaps even good , than the old standbys . That ’s how I ended up supervene upon my ‘ Sweet 100 ’s ’ cerise tomatoes with ‘ Tomatoberry ’ many years ago . The postdate options may not be steel - young , but they have proven themselves to be reliable “ newer ” vegetables , and they might be good additions to your garden this season .
Expect a plethora of petite peppers with ‘Cupid’
If you have difficulty with peppers ( and I do ) , ‘ Cupid ’ might be agood choice next season . Although the plants are rather large , they produce scores of miniature bell peppers early in the time of year ( they maturate to green in 55 days and to red in 75 ) . It ’s a disease- and sunscald - repellent variety that keeps farm right into declension . I was appalled to seeFine Gardeningassistant editor in chief Carol Collins ’s plants still filled with yield at the end of September last year . The modest heart - shaped peppers are the pure snack to twin with a arena of cherry tomatoes .
