I’ve grown all of those in the past. Growing Siletz this year. I think there is a frost tonight.

I used to grow mostly cherry tomatoes but the damn things were like herpes around the garden and would pop up everywhere. With the greenhouse I wanted paste and slicers that I can train the plants better to single stems.

Siletz, Oregon spring, and Oregon star, are all determinant bush type. No need to prune. I try to stay away from cherries now, too much picking.

I have them all at 1 ft spacing so need to trim down the branches so they fit better once in full growth. I learned last year that they fill out quite a bit.

Can’t wait to see picks! Damn you jam them in.

I grow most everything at 1 foot spacing. My available sunlight is rather limited due to the hill and trees to the south so I have to make every bit of space count. Last year I ended at 5400 lbs harvested from about 1/5 acre in all.
