Default Re: Tomatoes

This is a subject I love!
I grow about a million different kinds of heirloom tomatoes each year, and sell plants. I sell seeds too. I plant too many in the garden, last year, I think 125 plants I planted last year,and I sell tomatoes at the farmers market all summer too.
I have a list of the ones I grew out last year and sold on my website. Northern Tropics: Home
It's on the second page, you look up at the top of the page and click the second tab. It says solutions I think, but I couldn't change the tab name on the website, so I just have to live with it.
I haven't heard of Caltrans, but it's not uncommon for people to "change" the names of tomatoes they're selling at the farmers market. Another vender with me, he calls Pineapple tomatoes "big stripeys" instead and people buy them because they're different. It could be Golden Jubilee, an great old timey deep orange one.
Kellogg's Breakfast is wonderful, so is Persimmon. I'm trying a new one this year, Woodle Orange. I love white tomatoes too, especially White Wonder and White Queen. I especially like the "peach skinned" fuzzy ones though--I grow Furry Red Boar, Pink Peach, Garden Peach, Elberta Peach, and Angora.
Sincerely,
