Heirloom Tomatoes
Does anyone have and grow heirloom tomatoes? That is my thing. I have 3
varities now Russian, Irish and talian. I had one last year that weighed 2 lb. 10 oz. and was great flavor. My Irish is the biggest but the Russian is the best table tomato. From Mel & Donnie in Bluebird Valley http://community.webtv.net/MelKelly/TheKids |

Best Regards, Art in New Orleans....BTW, where are you ? Check out Solana Seeds, a small seed supplier in Quebec, Canada. They have over 200 varieties of heirloom tomatoes. We've had excellent results with their seeds and they have very reasonable prices. We normally plant over 20 different tomato varieties each year. Here's just a few of our favourites: Anna Russian, Aunt Ruby's German Green, Debarao, Longkeeper, Polish Linguisa, Pruden's Purple and Principe Borghese (for drying). http://solanaseeds.netfirms.com/welcome.html Ross.

Absolutely the best tomato flavor of *any* tomato that we have ever grown. (Another thing I like about rareseeds is that they are quite generous on packet size) I haven't tried the white current tomato, but current tomatoes are among my favorites. The problem I have with them is that they never make it into the house! I walk around the yard in the evening, popping them in my mouth like little candies. We grew two of the White Currents in a large container and our grandson made sure none went to waste! :-) Nice manageble size, unlike some other cherries I plant. Will plant at least a half dozen this year. I put a few in hanging baskets every year. They need to be watered everyday in the hottest part of the summer, but otherwise they do fine. I actually picked yellow current tomatoes on Thanksgiving Day this year, long after my other tomatoes had succumbed to the blight. Sadly, they didn't make it to the Thanksgiving table for everyone to enjoy, but, hey, I sure enjoyed them! Have you planted Stupice before? I am thinking of trying them and am curious about others opinions about flavor and "earliness". Stupice is my favorite early tomato. I've tried several others, but it has been the most dependable and productive, plus it keeps going once the heat hits. You do get some tomatoes with green shoulders, and some people don't like that, but I think the flavor and productivity is outstanding in such an early tomato. The Stupice I started this spring already have their second leaves and look like little tomato plants instead of sprouting seeds. Now if this stretch of cold weather would just break, I'll get them repotted and into the cold frame. Penelope -- "Maybe you'd like to ask the Wizard for a heart." "ElissaAnn" |
