Favorite Type of Tomato

[bwallace23350]

This time of year only means one thing to me in the garden and that is tomatoes tomatoes tomatoes. With that being said what are your favorite types of tomatoes? Mine is either a Pink Brandywine or an Oxheart Orange. The Brandywine is so much easier to grow but the Oxheart Orange is just a treasure to even see.

Sungold.  Each day I get home from work I take the dog and go down to the gardens and snack my way around them eating a few of everything that is ripe. The small tomato?s come in first, last the longest and are some of the sweetest garden fare.

I am not in to green fried tomatoes.  I am not much of a tomato  eater because it has to come out of the garden so that maybe 3 weeks out of the year.

I don't often eat tomatoes out of season but fortunately my tomato season will last a couple months. I also don't eat fried green tomatoes but I am kinda weird like that. A lot of people love them where I am. I use a lot of tomato paste and sauce though.

Same here.  You want Roma's for that.

bw One thing we can do around here is plant tomato seed when we set the plants we bought out. By the times the first ones play out the second bunch will be just starting.

Yep I stagger my harvest pretty good by spacing out tomato plants over several weeks or at least I did this year. I seed my own and buy some better boys for production.

We have 80 tomatoe plants planted... they are just starting to get time to fry up some green ones..  then we will be making pasta sauce, marinera, etc etc and canning it all here soon.

Gonna have to make lots of candied jalepenos too

Traveler is an old heirloom that used to be big back in the days that Arkansas was a big tomato producer. It ships well, highly productive and cans very well.

Sounds like something I need to try to grow one year.

Mortgage Lifter produces a lot of tomatoes. Very good slicer.
