Featured tomato: San Francisco Fog

 This indeterminate plant bears small to medium size tomatoes that are red and tasty. It is a variety I got from an Australian gentleman last year. It should be able to set and ripen fruit if the weather is cool, foggy, and cloudy. We've had a hot, humid summer and it's doing just great as well. Very juicy fruit.

Featured tomato: Banjan roomi

Banjan roomi. This is the first year I've grown this tomato. I traded tomato seeds with someone and this is one of the varieties I got. I was told it is a Middle Eastern variety. Sorry, I've forgotten to take a picture of it, but it is red, slightly pleated, flattened, and of small to medium size. It has been very productive...especially impressive because we had 100 degree weather for a week and it still managed to set blossoms. The taste is good, like a tomato ought to taste and could be used for fresh eating as well as for sauce.

Featured tomato: Brown Berry

Brown Berry  is a sweet little jolly to pop in your mouth when working in the garden. It is dark brown, somewhat like Chocolate Cherry. It bears well and the flavor is excellent. Black tomatoes are healthier than red tomatoes because it is higher in antioxidants than red ones. These are great on a vegetable dip platter and it really looks attractive if you have a mix of black, red, white, green, and yellow cherry type tomatoes This is an indeterminate tomato and the fruit is borne in clusters of 8 or so.

Featured tomato: Tlacalula pink

This Aztec variety is an indeterminate plant which bears small to medium size tomatoes that are very flavorful. The predominate shape is like a pouch. It has one of the most complex flavors I have ever tasted in a tomato. I almost want to say there is a hint of floral. Makes an interesting addition to summer salads, sandwiches and home made fresh salsa...especially mixed with red, white, yellow, pink, and black tomatoes. What's so special about heirloom tomatoes? The idea that an heirloom is a variety that has been grown by generations and passed down from person to person is really very fascinating.

Featured Tomato: Scabitha

This indeterminate plant bears small to medium size tomatoes that are very flavorful and prolific Even the meat is tasty and most often all the taste is in the gel around the seeds. I won't pull any punches, the fruit itself is, well...somewhat ugly. It's pretty with it's bright red color and gold streaks. But, it often has many scabs. The scabs do not harm the eater or the tomato and this variety is becoming one of my favorites for taste.
