Name Your Heirloom Tomatoes For This Year!

[vfem]

... it looks like tomatoes for use as paste tomatoes is the most important factor right now!

Speak for yourself, young lady!

29 varieties of tomatoes . . . not a single paste variety . Paste?! Perish the thought!

LOL... I meant as a whole, Sir! It seems more people would like those over slicers or cherries. Though if I don't have a snackable cherry I don't know what I would do with myself!

I think it is two factors. Self defensive and the ecomony. Good fruit and veggies are expensive and then half the time there's are recall or some type of crazy scare and you don't know what is safe. Way better to grow your own.

For the first time in I don't know how many years, I am not doing Pink Brandywine. I don't know why because I love them and they always do well for me. Just wanted to do something different! I meant to try Mortgage Lifter too, but I forgot...

You all sure are going to have colorful gardens and salads this year!

I have several green, yellow, orange, red and purple this year myself... will look nice since they are all in the front and side yards. 12 plants total I got in and I just sold the rest of my Italian Market and Roomii tomatoes. Didn't have room for the last 5 if I wanted watermelon this year.

If anyone has them planted out and want to share pictures... please do!
