Default Mortgage Lifter Tomatoes

Bill to get back to your original topic, The best juice tomatoes are the red
globes. Red cherry tomatoes will work, but tomatoes in the +/- 1/2 lb class are
prefered. The beefsteak types of which the Mortgage Lifter is one are too solid
(dry) fro good juice. Old time easterners like myself think of Rutgers and
Marglobe as good examples. However this is the most popular type of tomatoes
and ther are close to a thusand cultivars ranging from Ace to Zuley. California
is a leader in canning and juicing tomatoes and dozens of cultivars have been
released specifically for Califronia growers. Many of them from University of
California, Davis. They can give you the best recommendation for your area.
