It’s always thrilling to see the tomato seedlings emerging. Most of them are successfully completing their germination tests and the seeds will be ready for sale by Saturday, 11/02 (9 AM PDT)!
Each year, I grow a mix of tried-and-true favorites, and some new varieties based on recommendations for their exceptional taste. Newcomers this year are:
-
Napa Chardonnay - light yellow, sweet, cherry tomato bred by Brad Gates of Wild Boar farm in California.
-
Pineapple - funny name for a tomato, but it’s huge usually 1-2 lb, and delicious.
-
Chocolate Lightening - Red tomato with green streaks and complex flavor
Favorite varieties include:
-
Black Krim - My favorite black tomato, although Chocolate Lightening is just as good!
-
Siberian Pink Honey - Large 1lb oxheart with great flavor, excellent for sauces and salsa.
-
Amethyst Jewel - Beautiful dark purple tomato that fades to rose, smaller slicer.
-
Oroma - Paste tomato that produces on a dwarf habit, only 3ft tall.
A limited number of seeds are available. Be sure to grab yours and enjoy the flavors of homegrown tomatoes!
