Tomatoes (Solanum lycopersicum)

Tomatoes with retracted styles (female part) limits cross pollination and may totally exclude foreign pollen. Potato-leaved and beefsteak types tend to have protruding styles so care must be taken when these are grown in proximity. Tomato seed can be fermented to aid in cleaning and disease control. Viable seed will sink in the water.

Available list- 20 seeds for 5.00$ (send a note as to which one(s) you would like):

Hilldale Hutterite- possibly of Montana origin, which would explain why it does good in out short growing season.

White brandywine- Low acid enhances the flavor of the almost pure white fruit.

Brandywine- One of the most adaptable and tastiest tomato varieties.

Hawaiian pineapple –  One of my favs. The whole fruit is red-yellow bicolored. Hard to say if it tastes like a pineapple but who am I to make judgments.

Farmer reds- Not too sure the story of this one but it does well for us.

Aunt Gertie’s Gold- Fairly early yellow fruit.

Winsall- Similar to brandywine.

Russian love- Probably derived from the many oxheart types with similar names.

Provenzano – A commercial Italian cultivar similar to Des Andes in shape (yet not as oblong) but higher yielding.

Ignatious paste- From a local gardener in Guelph.

Johnson’s German- Likes it a bit warmer than here but quite adaptable for an indeterminate beefsteak.

Trifele Black- Large brown pear shaped fruits with green shoulders.

Beauty- Fruit live up to your highest expectations.

Romeo- Large paste tomato similar to Provenzano but with more girth. Loves the heat.

Cherry roma- Commercial cultivar with high productivity of cherry sized fruits. Flavor is subpar but very crack resistant.

Scarlett o’herring- Not sure about the origins of this one but it does well for us.

Brown Pear-  Similar to Trifele black but smaller fruit.

Babywine- Smaller sized standard red tomato born on clusters of fruit.

Big Red- Large perfect fruit selection from Big Beef.
