Heirloom Tomatoes (more varieties to follow in April!):

Skorospelka (early producing Russian Heirloom with medium red tomatoes. Sets in clusters of 6-8. Determinate);

 

Brandywine (a pink potato leaf tomato, arguably the best tasting slicer. This strain is more productive than most and sets fruit in both cool and heat. Delicious, sweet-tart slicer. Indeterminate.);

Green Zebra (possibly the best producing tomato for the South. Green Zebra begins to ripen in the heat of summer and just won’t stop! The fruit is yellow, with beautiful green stripes. The medium size tomatoes are mild and tart – excellent for salsa, and they make an unusual pasta sauce. Quite disease resistant.)

 

Marvel Striped (Delicious, large orange and red striped tomatoes! Originally from Oaxaca, Mexico this is one tomato that can withstand some drought and heat. Last year I ate this in a salad of blue cheese, raw sweet white corn kernels and pomegranate seeds. It was the best thing I have ever eaten!)

Roma (Classic heirloom paste tomato.)

 

Coming Soon: Green Moldavian, Cherokee Purple, Mr. Stripey, yellow pear, stupice, Kosovo, Flame, jubilee
