Mine is 50\/50.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In part of my garden, I have grown varieties that don&#8217;t claim any disease resistance; they are open-pollinated varieties that are different shapes and colors. They are delicious, and the plants produced well for a while but are now burned up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In another part of my garden, I have grown hybrid varieties that claim broad disease resistance &#8212; to fusarium wilt and late blight and many others, but most importantly to nematodes. I have <a href=\"https:\/\/gregalder.com\/yardposts\/what-are-root-knot-nematodes\/\">root-knot nematodes<\/a> in this part of my garden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So I had low expectations for these plants. Last year&#8217;s tomatoes in this area did not do great. Yet each of these five hybrid varieties has won me over, earning the right to be planted in following years, and I wouldn&#8217;t hesitate recommending that you try them in your garden, especially if yours have struggled with root-knot nematodes or other diseases. Let me briefly introduce them to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Mountain Fresh Plus<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/gregalder.com\/yardposts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/mountain-fresh-plus-tomato.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/gregalder.com\/yardposts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/mountain-fresh-plus-tomato.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15489\" width=\"485\" height=\"406\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gregalder.com\/yardposts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/mountain-fresh-plus-tomato.jpg 485w, https:\/\/gregalder.com\/yardposts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/mountain-fresh-plus-tomato-480x402.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 485px, 100vw\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Mountain Fresh Plus is the Platonic idea of a tomato.

The Mountain Fresh Plus and BHN-1021 plants are in the front row on the right side, where you can notice that they are productive and smaller than the other plants. Both Mountain Fresh Plus and BHN-1021 plants are efficient fruiters, as they make lots of tomatoes on compact plants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Big Beef<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Big Beef, on the other hand, is both a larger plant and a slightly larger fruit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/gregalder.com\/yardposts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/big-beef-tomato.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/gregalder.com\/yardposts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/big-beef-tomato.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15488\" width=\"496\" height=\"416\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gregalder.com\/yardposts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/big-beef-tomato.jpg 496w, https:\/\/gregalder.com\/yardposts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/big-beef-tomato-480x403.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 496px, 100vw\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The flavor of the fruit is excellent and slightly milder and fruitier than Mountain Fresh Plus and BHN-1021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Big Beef fruit has also had slightly less skin cracking, and I think this is partly due to the vigorous plant that shades its fruit well.

Damsel is a beautiful tomato. Over the past few weeks, when we&#8217;ve had extra tomatoes to give to friends I&#8217;ve wanted to give them Damsels because of how attractive they are, and they also seem to have a slightly richer flavor &#8212; although I sometimes wonder if the unusual hue of the fruit is influencing my sensation of its taste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The size of the Damsel plants are in between the big Big Beef plants and the compact Mountain Fresh Plus and BHN-1021 plants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One downside to Damsel is that the fruit sometimes gets concentric cracks around the stem or green shoulders if they are not shaded well under leaves or shade cloth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Lemon Boy<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, we have Lemon Boy. I hadn&#8217;t planned on growing Lemon Boy this year, but neighbors kindly gave me a plant, and when I looked the variety up and found that it claimed root-knot nematode resistance, I put it in the infested area of my garden &#8212; and it has thrived.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/gregalder.com\/yardposts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/lemon-boy-tomato.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/gregalder.com\/yardposts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/lemon-boy-tomato.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15491\" width=\"527\" height=\"380\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gregalder.com\/yardposts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/lemon-boy-tomato.jpg 527w, https:\/\/gregalder.com\/yardposts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/lemon-boy-tomato-480x346.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 527px, 100vw\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The Lemon Boy fruit&#8217;s flesh is meaty and its flavor has less acid and a bit more of a tropical taste. I have loved adding a bit of diced Lemon Boy into my salsas this summer. The Lemon Boy plant is large and fruitful, yet not quite as productive as the above red varieties mentioned in this post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The above five varieties are all excellent, workhorse tomatoes that seem to fulfill their claims to disease resistance. I can attest that they definitely thrive despite the root-knot nematodes in the soil of my garden, and I&#8217;ve seen no other diseases affecting the plants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I bought my seeds for the above varieties from Johnny&#8217;s and Territorial: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.johnnyseeds.com\/vegetables\/tomatoes\/beefsteak-tomatoes\/mountain-fresh-plus-f1-tomato-seed-3808.html\">Mountain Fresh Plus<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.johnnyseeds.com\/vegetables\/tomatoes\/beefsteak-tomatoes\/bhn-1021-f1-tomato-seed-2591.html\">BHN-1021<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.johnnyseeds.com\/vegetables\/tomatoes\/beefsteak-tomatoes\/big-beef-f1-tomato-seed-2063.html\">Big Beef<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/territorialseed.com\/products\/tomato-damsel\">Damsel<\/a>. Lemon Boy seeds are widely available, and plants are often found at nurseries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>All of my Yard Posts are listed <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/gregalder.com\/yardposts\/list-of-yard-posts\/\">HERE<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>My Yard Posts have no ads because of your support.
