Pre spring seed choices

[Egon]

A question for those who eat Tomatoes.

What are you favorite varieties for??

Slicing and placing on bread
eating whole
paste or sauces
small cherry types

I have to order some seeds in the next few days and so far I'm considering Brandyvine, early girl, roma and sweet 100. I'll also get some Tomatillos.

Our growing season is much shorter than what most of you have.

Thomas got me hungry!!

Thanks.

Egon, there are better varieties for taste, but for production, I had great luck with Porter tomatoes last year. They just kept producing until the hot sun cooked the vines. After it cooled off, I cut the vines back and they kept producing some more. I like them because I take a bag to work for my lunch. They are just big enough to half and lightly sprinkle with salt. Yum!

Egon, we have had good luck with Better Boy’s, of course I am on the other end of the world from you so who knows. I tilled under my winter cover the other day and am looking forward to setting out early plants soon. The thought of garden tomatoes has my mouth watering.

I am still a fan of the beafsteak. great for sliced tomatoes and toasted sandwiches with some back bacon. I also grew some brandywine, earl girl and big boy and some yellow golden girl as well for variety.

For sauces still like to use the Roma.

cherry tomatoes in salads along with a small pear shaped mini tomatoe( have to look at the package tonight for the name) Also these are good with a quick saute in olive oil and some salt,pepper and fresh torn basil.
