Tomatoes
Listed below are the tomatoes I have for sale. They are $3 each. All are heirloom plants unless noted, meaning you can save the seeds to grow more next year! I have listed these as determinate – they will only grow to a certain height, and indeterminate – meaning they will continue to grow until frost kills them. Determinate varieties will be fine in a tomato cage. The indeterminate will do better on a trellis. I more than others of some of my varieties, so first come first serve. If it is not on this page, then I have no more.
Please let me know if you have any questions! Happy growing!
Rose de Berne
This is one of my favorite slicing tomatoes. I can’t even remember where or when I discovered this beauty but I have been growing it and saving the seeds ever since. The plants produce 7-8 ounce tomatoes abundantly all summer long. The color has a beautiful red color with a slightly pink tinge. The picture on the left was one of the first ones I picked and I didn’t even want to cut into it it was so perfect! The skin rarely cracks! I like to slice them thinly on a plate and drizzle with some good 18-25 year old balsamic and a pinch of salt. Like BLTs? You can’t beat this in sandwiches! INDETERMINATE – will need a trellis.

Who doesn’t love a good beefsteak tomato – and even better, an heirloom beefsteak tomato? If the pink and red flesh doesn’t remind you of a big juicy watermelon, the size will!
