Black Star. This is the first year I've grown this tomato. I got the seeds for this variety from Germany. The name on the packet was in English making me think it is a variety from an English speaking country. Sorry, I've forgotten to take a picture of it, but it is black, round, and is medium in size.

Ceylon This is a very attractive tomato. It's pleats look good if the tomato is cut or uncut. It really looks nice in tossed salad or on a vegetable dip platter. It has a sweet taste and good red tomato flavor

Liguria. I bought these seeds from a man in Slovenia. He only described them as incredibly sweet, highly productive and vigorous, suitable for greenhouse production and in the field. I believe it to be a variety from Italy as there is a region called Liguria. It is a dumpy, oblate spheroid...larger on the bottom than the top and very red. It is great for sauce though it is sweeter than most sauce tomatoes. I was intrigued by the shape so, because I tend to be obsessive/compulsive about collecting tomatoes, I just had to have this one. Besides, ever since 9th grade earth science when I first heard the words oblate spheroid to describe the Earth, I've wanted to use the words "oblate spheroid". I've waited 34 years and now here's my chance.

Schemmig Striped Hollow. German heirloom. This is one of my more interesting varieties. It is somewhat like a pepper inside. The top can be sliced off and the seeds are stuck in the center for easy removal. There is very little meat inside but the walls are nice and thick for stuffing. It is red with gold stripes, The tomato themselves are medium in size. A perfect serving for a stuffed tomato. Has been productive for me. Interesting flavor.

Yellow Pear, This indeterminate plant bears a multitude of cherry size, sweet, mild, yellow, pear shaped fruit. The best part is, they are a great vegetable platter and dip veggie. It all ready sports a handle! The fruit is about 1-2" long . These are great favorites with kids because they have a handle.

Druzba. This indeterminate plant bears medium to large red tomatoes with a good yield and some disease resistance. Druzba is a Bulgarian heirloom and Druzba means "friend" in that language. Good taste and it is juicy.
