Favorite Tomatoes

We are asked all the time what our favorite tomatoes are.  So here they are

Steve - Red Currant A So. American species, not a true tomato, ideal for salads & snacks. 15-20 ¼” sized fruit per cluster a crunchy, fruity flavor, sweet yet tart.  Sweet 100  Huge, multiple-branched clusters of 1/2 inch very sweet fruit with high vitamin C content. Mouth-watering flavor. Vigorous vines bear abundantly until frost and need staking for best results. Indeterminate

John - Bull’s Heart Italian heirloom colorful pink/red fruit, wonderful sweet flavor. Heart shaped fruit 2 pounds and up.  Sun Gold Very sweet, bright orange cherry variety. Grows in long clusters, a real taste treat, sweet, fruity and delicious.

Lori - Brandy Wine Very old Amish heirloom smooth texture, legendary rich, succulent flavor fruits up to 1 – 2 pounds.

Dorene - Brandy Wine Very old Amish heirloom smooth texture, legendary rich, succulent flavor fruits up to 1 – 2 pounds.  Bull’s Heart Italian heirloom colorful pink/red fruit, wonderful sweet flavor. Heart shaped fruit 2 pounds and up.  Black Krim Dark brown-red tomatoes are large, 10 to 12 ozs., and very richly flavored with just a hint of saltiness. Color is darker in hot weather, and fruit seems to set well even in the heat. Prone to cracking, but a very heavy producer. Heirloom from the Black Sea of Russia. Indeterminate.  Lemon Boy  The first lemon yellow, not golden, tomato variety, and still one of the best. Extremely vigorous plants produce large harvests of attractive fruit that weighs 8 ozs. or more. Flavor is outstanding, mild and sweet yet tangy and definitely not bland. This one is easy to grow and understandably one of our most popular yellow tomatoes.

As you can see there are a wide range what we like, but the fun is in growing and trying new varieties.  So try something new this year, who knows you may find a new favorite.
