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.

Great White. This is an indeterminate plant with beefsteak type white tomato.  It is a meaty tomato that has a creamy texture.

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.

Featured tomato: Garden peach

Garden Peach.  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. This is one of the most accurately named tomatoes. It really does look like a yellow peach! It ripens yellow with a rosy blush, it is shaped like a peach, AND it is fuzzy. It tastes like a tomato, mild with a good mix of sweet and tang, leaning toward the sweet side. Mine stayed small to medium in size and it has been very productive. Makes a good tomato for fresh eating.
