Same Old, Same Old

This will be a pretty boring post, pretty much the same as the last one. My back is recovering nicely but I have been battling bronchitis all week. It's mostly just to remind you of the market and our tomato plant varieties. It's the perfect time to start planting and speaking of planting, we had a few volunteers last week and got in about 250 plants. My thanks to everyone who made the effort.

I removed Moscovich from the list. People keep asking for them, but they are just not growing on. After a month still about 3 inches high when everything is 8-12 inches or more. It's a disappointment but here are lo

I removed Moscovich from the list. People keep asking for them, but they are just not growing on. After a month still about 3 inches high when everything is 8-12 inches or more. It's a disappointment but here are lots of other choices; 

Mortgage Lifter- Pink, Good performer, disease resistant and yummy flavor. Can crack if there is a lot of moisture but dependability in flavor and taste make it worth it.

Pork Chop- Great flavor and early production. Performed well in a continuously wet season.

Black from Tula- As always, an amazing variety. Great texture, juicy yet meaty wonderful flavor. A little susceptible to aphids.

Purple Carbon- same as above also add high germination rate.

Paul Robeson- Yummy! will always make my list. Brick red, rich and smoky flavor.

                Black Plum- Beautiful brick red plum type tomato,
                      varies in size from grape to plum size

Caspian Pink- It's a keeper! Good production, low acid with great tomato flavor, beautiful fluted fruit.

Green Zebra- not so great production this year but once you taste a Zebra,
you will always have a space for it.

  Golden Jubilee- Good producer of lower acid tomatoes.

Pantano Romanesco- another flat fluted tomato, good production and disease resistance.

Cherry tomatoes

Juliet-

Red Grape tomato that has fabulous production AND dries into a superbly chewy tomato










Chocolate Cherry-
These bruised looking beauties are rich in flavor and meaty

Violet Jasper surpasses itself with Green and purple striped beauty as well as production, is beautiful but needs to be fully ripe to obtain full flavor. 


Gold Nugget- New but supposedly sweeter than Sun Gold.

These Beautiful Striped tomatoes can have as many as 4 colors. Some argue that they are the same as pineapple. They are not my favorite because they are lower in acid than I like but have a big following.





Cherokee Green and Purple- Yes, we have both color this year. Again, not one of MY picks for the table but I am in the minority. Super sweet and for an Heirloom extremely productive. They just don't have enough acid for me. They are our largest, best looking plants.

We have an abundance of  Reds, there are many to choose from this year.

Don't forget, we start everything from seed and this year we mixed our own compost from off the farm. These plants not only are unique but strong and beautiful too.
