Featured tomato: Spitze

Spitze. This is an indeterminate plant with elongated, red, tomatoes which are excellent for sauce. This variety comes from Romania and I believe the name means "horn" or "devil's horn". If my memory is correct, it means that. Excellent production, excellent taste.

Red Boar. This indeterminate plant bears medium to large size tomatoes that are red with gold stripes, or gold with red stripes. The overall effect is that the tomato is a light gold. The meat is a dark red. Good flavor. Makes an interesting addition to summer salads, sandwiches and home made fresh salsa...especially mixed with red, white, yellow, pink, and black tomatoes.

Featured tomato: Ildi, Russian

Ildi Russian heirloom yellow grape tomato. This is a VERY prolific tomato. It bears it's grape tomato size fruit in clusters of up to 60 tomatoes. It has very good, on the sweet side flavor and is a real hit with kids. I often would go out to pick these and the plants would be devoid of every ripe one and near ripe one. Consumed by the kids during a garden grazing.

It is a black tomato so it is higher in antioxidants than red tomatoes. Cuban Black has the typical flavor of a black tomato and is multipurpose fresh, canning, and sauce. It's country of origin is Cuba.

Feature tomato: Liguria

TOMATO seeds, LIGURIA, Italian sauce tomato, 30 seeds, red pear

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.
