I planted Druzba from Tomato Growers Supply, and it didn't occur to me =
until yesterday that what was growing wasn't Druzba, but something else. =
Per Carolyn Male's book,Druzba is  Late Mid season, 8 oz to 1lb., heave =
foliage, and tolerance of disease. What is growing is early midseason =
(starting to ripen now which would be 70-75 days), light foliage, 2 lb+, =
and the only tomato out of 15 varieties to be hit by early blight. It =
has ribbed shoulders, grows in groups of 3, slightly heart shaped with a =
flattened bottom. Any ideas?
I also planted Climbing Trip-L-Crop, which started growing great, but =
seems to have stopped growing, blossems started to abort, and I found 1 =
branch with all the leaves wilted. Anyone grow this type?
Thanks
