@PomGranny if you single stem your tomatoes next year make sure you have room to do it. I single stemmed most of mine this year to squeeze in more varieties and over a half dozen of my vines are 9 feet tall right now. Add that to the raised bed they are in and I’m having to do acrobatics on a ladder to tie them to the extensions I had to add to my trellis.
@JeremiahT I grew one Arkansas Traveler this year, and it has perfect looking tomatoes with a good tomato taste. If I was growing for selling at the market I would have a bunch of them. It hasn’t been a standout for me so far. I’ll probably grow one next year just to see if it pumps out more than this year.
I’m wondering if certain varieties do better single stemmed vs multi stemmed and vice versa. For example, my one original Cherokee Purple has been very stingy single stemmed. I rooted a sucker off of it and multistemmed it and the multistemmed CP has set 3-4 times as many tomatoes as its single stemmed clone has.
