Comments on: Azoychka: Hanna’s Tomato Tastings 2006 http://www.thisgardenisillegal.com/2006/08/azoychka-hannas-tomato-tastings-2006.html Gardening isn't a hobby, it is an obsession Sun, 05 Feb 2012 14:15:32 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Robert http://www.thisgardenisillegal.com/2006/08/azoychka-hannas-tomato-tastings-2006.html/comment-page-1#comment-7767 Robert Thu, 19 Aug 2010 18:35:14 +0000 http://www.thisgardenisillegal.com/new/2007/07/azoychka-hannas-tomato-tastings-2006.html#comment-7767 We have had a hot, very dry summer in Connecticut. In mid-April (very early) I planted an Azoychka seedling purchased from a local garden center in a very large container filled with well composted soil and amended with dried blood, bone meal and TomatoTone. Throughout the summer I kept it well watered and fertilized with water from my aquarium and Algoflash fertilizer for tomatoes. In mid August, the plant is now about eight feet high and has had an abundance of huge, very tasty yellow-orange tomatoes. I will definitely plant this again next year if the seedling is available from the garden center. We have had a hot, very dry summer in Connecticut.

Definitely I will grow Azoychka this year. I grew Azoychka in container in 2009, they were good size plants, Yield was not high in comparison to other container tomatoes but taste was much better.

We purchased some Black Prince and Azoychka seedlings, as well as a Beefsteak. Of course, the Beefsteak shot up like a weed, but the Black Prince is doing some catching up, too, with plenty of fruit in development. Alas, nothing from the Azoychka! Though it's grown well enough, it's had a few yellow leaves--no visible insects, and we are about 10 feet off the ground on the back porch. Plenty of flowers, but no fruit, at all. We're giving them all plenty of water. Does the Azoychka simply prefer cooler times of year for growth? I can sympathize, if that's the case. My wife thrives in 85 degree temperatures, while I begin to wilt a good 10 degrees lower. My wife and I decided to grow our first tomato plants about 2 months ago, after reading your columns.
