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.
Watermelon Beefsteak
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! Producing fruits weighing in between 1 pound and 2 pound can give you a meal for the whole family. this heirloom varieties dates all the way back to the 1800s. And as all heirloom plants, you can save the seeds. INDETERMINATE – will need a trellis.
Black Cherry Tomato
These beautiful black cherry tomatoes look like large, dusky purple-brown grapes. They have that rich flavor that makes black tomatoes famous. The large vines yield very well; very unique and delicious. INDETERMINATE – will need a trellis.
Roma
Romas are the quintessential pear-shaped paste tomato that is the standard for making sauces and canning. Very prolific producers and disease resistant. Every garden should have these wonderful plants growing in them. I also slice these thinly and dehydrate them for use in soups and stews. These tomatoes also freeze very well so you can save them as the crop comes in for canning later on in the winter. Plants are DETERMINATE and can be grown easily in a tomato cage. Space plants 24 inches apart.
San Marzano
The undisputed king of paste tomatoes. Each plant produces insane amounts of medium 3-5 ounce tomatoes. Expect high production up to the first frost. The flavor is acidic; making it great for canning, tomato paste, pizza sauce, pasta sauce, and even fresh eating in salads! Gourmet and home chefs seek out the San Marzano for its amazing flavor and perfect texture.These also freeze very well. Plants are DETERMINATE and can be grown easily in a tomato cage. Space plants 24 inches apart.
Amish Paste
Another must-have paste variety – plum-shaped tomatoes, on compact plants that require very little staking! The paste-type fruit weighs in at 2-3 ounces, dry-fleshed and very meaty with few seeds. Great for sauces, salsas and pastes. Like the other paste tomatoes these also freeze very well. Plants are DETERMINATE and can be grown easily in a tomato cage. Space plants 24 inches apart.
