The color of each tag matches the color of the tomato fruit: red, yellow, orange, green, and black.
I’ve been growing tomatoes for 14 years. At the moment, I cultivate around 50–60 varieties each season, and I have a seed bank of about 160 varieties.
I don’t use chemical plant protection products (except in case of a severe late blight outbreak once times per year). Instead, I rotate three natural treatments based on iodine, thymol, and calcium propionate on all my vegetables — and every year I’m rewarded with abundant harvests of tomatoes, peppers, cabbage, cucumbers, and many more.
If you’re interested, I can create a post about these treatments.

Looks great! Way more organized than I ever am lol. And I’d like to hear more about your plant protection.
Very nice! Do you consider copper as a chemical? As you are using other metals such as iodine or calcium
>>”If you’re interested, I can create a post about these treatments.”
By all means, please tell more about your approach to plant protection. What is your climate like? If you don’t mind, what is your location. This makes anything you have to say about growing tomatoes more useful to growers in other parts of the world.
I like the color coding as I am about to start my tomatoes and have wayy to many Varieties I am planning on doing.
Looks great! What kind of peppers are those?
