Cosmic Eclipse tomato is an average to larger sized cherry variety. It's also in the antho family. I wasn't sure what I would get when I grew these out, but I was game! Our vines produced prolifically and never really stopped until the weather got cooler at nights. Plants also showed good disease resistance, especially to early and late blight. Cosmic Eclipse is great for canning, salads, fresh eating, garnishing and so much more. It truly is an all purposed variety. Our market sales did well with these also. It's taste was also good for an antho. Will grow again! See it on YouTube! -
If you are like canning, Eros tomato is certainly a nice selection for this purpose. Eros is a yellow elongated variety, that can reach 3 inches long. Determinate plants produce generous amounts of tomatoes that can be used for several purposes, including canning, sauce and paste. We dehydrated some of these and that worked out well also. I found Eros to be a good cooking tomato, imparting it's milder, tomatoey flavor in our meals, but without overwhelming it. Plants are not big or sprawling. They produced and performed well in hotter and dryer weather too. Stake early. Vines are skinny and will to hold up for long, without it. -
Among our favorites this year, Morado de Fitero tomato is an impressive variety. Similar in taste to Fleur de Reagir, I enjoyed growing these. My anticipation remained high just thinking about harvesting more each day. Morado de Fitero fruits can easily reach 1.5 pounds and plants are hardy. This tomato is deceptively great for sauce. If you love your tomato sandwiches, it is a superb choice. It's a stronger tasting tomato with really good old time flavor! So it wouldn't get lost behind your sour doe bread or louder cheeses. Fruits are weighty and have a nice trim feel to them. A nice selection for the market! -
Margaret Curtain tomato is among the tastiest, black varieties that we have grown. Shorter, indeterminate plants produce prolifically and showed a good resistance to early blight in our grow-outs. Fruits were rich, sweeter and slightly earthy with other complimentary flavors. I especially loved it's texture. It wasn't mushy or mealy, just smooth. Margaret Curtain also have nice aroma that always made me feel like eating them all each time I harvested. 4-8 ounces fruits began to ripen about 75 days after transplant. They continued coming until season's end. This variety can be a nice choice for smaller gardens, container or patio grown. Try em! -

I was in search of more sauce and past varieties and decided to try Polish Linguisa tomato. Needles to say, I was pleased with its performance. Our plants produced huge amounts of 2-3 inch, elongated fruits that kept coming all season long. I also like that they showed good disease resistance to early blight. I did spray them once as a preventative. Polish Linguisa made some first class sauce and salsa. It reminded me of Abbittista, another fine sauce tomato! I did not make paste but I suspect it will work well for that too! A nice choice for anyone wanting to make thick and rich sauce without much effort! 80 Days! -
I have been wanting to grow Neves Azorean Red tomato for several years. This year, 2018, I finally grew out 4 plants. What I got was a very special tomato. Neves Azoran Red is not your average red tomato. It could hang with the best of them! I would classify this, first as a sandwich and slicing tomato. But it is a lot more than that. I really love its texture. It has a smooth, rich finish, accompanied by some after-tones that I only describe as pleasing! Neves is a good tomato for market sales and sliced on platter presentation. Hardy vines produce plenty 10-18 ounce fruits! -
Looking for a beautiful, high-producing variety, that makes surprisingly great sauce? Try Marinade Garnier Rouge tomato. Vines produce bounties of pretty red fruits, that are great for sandwich making, sauce. It works well as a stand alone snacker, slicing and even garnishing. Red, ribbed fruits can reach one pound, but most average around 10-14 ounces. ours came in a bit late, at 85 days, but they were well worth the wait. Once they started coming they never stopped. As far as taste, these have very good balance, nice rich flavor that borders on the sweet side. A must grow! -
Lithuanian Crested Pink tomato was my favorite variety for looks in 2018. It was also high on the taste charts too! But that should be expected because it's an oxheart, which is my favorite tomato family. This beautiful, pink fruit, is perfectly heart shaped and a head turner! Wispy leaved plants produce a good amount of 4-10 ounce fruits that begin to ripen about 80 days after transplant. Some fruits are more pointed than others. It's is a meaty, sweeter fruit with smooth texture. Fruits do not have many seeds. A great choice for cooking, snacking, sandwiches and so much more! -
Kuzula 132 tomato was a first time grow-out for us in 2018. I found that it was a great snacking, fresh salsa, garnish, canning and cooking tomato. It leans to the milder side with some small hints of sugars and acidity in its aftertaste. Vines are prolific and never really budged for diseases. They began to ripen their fruits around 72 days after we transplanted them in the garden. Beautiful bi-color fruits were plum shaped and about 2 inches long. All in all it is a good tomato for quite a few things. I snacked on these a lot while I was in the garden, especially on hot days. They were quite refreshing! See Kozula 133. -
Over the last 3 years I have grown out several varieties of Kentucky Heirloom tomatoes. All, including Old Kentucky tomato, were great! Taller vines produced plenty, canary yellow fruits that bordered 1 pound. Tops are greenish before turning to yellow at full ripeness. This was one of our favorite varieties in 2018. Fruits were sweet, juicy, a bit fruity and satisfying. Most had no blemishes! This makes Old Kentucky a great choice for market sales. Stake well and your rewards will be many. It is also a great selection for sandwiches, slicing, garnish and so much more. Our fruits began ripening around day 84 and continued until season's end! See It On YouTube. -
Pretty pink beefsteaks are what you will get when you grow out Olena Ukranian tomato. One of the smoothest tasting tomatoes that you will ever experience, Olena is just right for sandwiches, fresh eating and or whatever you choose to do with it! Fruits can easily reach one pound and begin ripening about 85 days after transplant in the garden. Rich, sweetish, with great balance, it's the right tomato for the right moment. Taller plants produce quite a lot for such a big tomato, so get ready to harvest! This would also be a great market tomato, as very few have blemishes or cracks and taste is great. -
The first thing that comes to mind about growing Orange Orangutan tomato is its productivity. For such a large variety it's high producing. Big, beautiful yellow and red, bi-colored fruits an weigh one pound. Our largest this year was 1.4 pounds. Plants are about 5-6 feet tall and vibrant. They begin to ripen their fruits about 85 days from transplant in the garden. Our plants particularly loved the hotter, drier weather when some other varieties were struggling. But early staking is essential for a fantastic harvest. Orange Orangutan is a good selection for sandwiches and garnishing but should sell well at the market also. Try cooking or stew with this one! -
Giant Belgium tomato is a favorite of mine. Even though we grow hundreds or varieties each year, I do have a go-to list when I want certainty. Giant Belgium is one of them. Some others such as Uncle E, Dester, Curtis Cheek and Gold Medal are also included. Giant Belgium is all meat, which makes it perfect for sandwiches. Our biggest fruits were about 1.4 lbs but they do get bigger. The seeds which we offer are always form the best specimen. Plants are vibrant! They start ripening their fruits about 85 days after transplant. Stake well and get ready! -
A long time favorite of many tomato gardeners, Marianna's Peace tomato is a winner all around. Large beefsteaks can reach 1.5 pounds and packs plenty of flavor. Ours were balanced and delicious, with true old fashioned, sandwich tomato taste. I also liked t's texture. It isn't mushy or mealy. Plants produced plenty fruits but were not prolific. They produced until season's end and were still trying to hold on when everything else was gone. I also used Marianna's Peace for making sauce and fresh salsa too, it worked perfectly in both cases. Take a whiff, its aroma is incredible when fully ripened! See it on Youtube! -

I couldn't believe my eyes when my Dwarf Pepper Like Striped tomato plants stared ripening their fruits. They were loaded and looked like pinstriped decorations. Determinate plants were about 2 feet tall and had so many fruits on them that they had to be well staked from the start. 2 inch long fruits turned from green to a beautiful red and yellow pinstripe. they were, mildly sweet, flavorful with good overall flavor. not too much juice. These were great sauce makers too! A good keeper after harvest! Perfect for sauces, salsa, cooking, garnish, market sales and more. Great for container growing! -

Whether you have grown dwarf varieties before or not, you will appreciate them when you grow out Dwarf Black Angus Tomato. This very tasty variety did well for us in our 2018 grow-outs. 2.5 feet tall, indeterminate rugose leafed plants, produced 6-8 ounce tomatoes that had very nice flavor and texture. Plants have dense foliage, so it can sometimes be difficult to see fruits. Without hurting the suckers, we pruned some of the bottom leaves to better see fruits. That worked well! Our fruits reminded me of Black Krim, but with a firmer texture. Very good sandwich tomato and more! Expect first ripened fruits about 75 days after transplant. -
Mrs Maxwell's Big Italian tomato is a large, deep pink, meaty variety, that packs nice tomato flavor.Let it ripen well and you will be rewarded. I have regretted only growing out only three plants in my first grout-outs, but they will be back in 2019. For me, this was a memorable tomato because it was tasty, productive and had hardy vines that produced multi-purposed fruits. I had these cooked, stewed, sauced, as fried green tomatoes, sold some at the market, ate them in the garden, gazpacho, you name it, I did it. I ended up not saving many seeds. It's all good though. I saved enough to share a few! Grow these out if you like good tomatoes! -
Last season, I received Port De Antuzi tomato seeds from a friend in California. He insisted that I had to grow it out because it was very rare and almost extinct. He explained that the seeds were given to his aunt by a relative from Latvia, around 1973. The seeds were spread around his family for years and eventually, some made their way to him. When I grew these out I was very pleased! Ripened fruits were sweeter and flavorful. They grew to about 4-8 0unces and ripened to a beautiful yellow, almost like Amish Gold Slicer or Dad's Sunset. Texture was amazing! These are perfect slicers. Great for fresh eating, cooking, canning and so much more. Grow these out! -
Texwine tomato is perhaps the best beefsteak that we grew in 2018. Its flavor is fantastic! This is the kind of tomato that you don't need to use salt or pepper, cheese or oils, on. It's just great all on its own. Just pick them and start eating! If you decide to make sandwiches with it though, watch out! It will rock your world! Texwine vines are not too tall (perhaps 4 feet). They produce smooth fruits that can reach 1.5 pounds. Most of ours averaged about 12-20 ounces. First ripened fruits were about 80 days a continued till season's end. Sweeter, fruity, meaty, great texture balance. Recommended! See It on YouTube. -
The more I think about Brimmer tomato, the more I appreciate good sandwich tomatoes. I'd be honest! I am a huge tomato sandwich eater, but I also enjoy experiencing tomatoes in so many other ways during the season. So when it comes to tomato sandwiches, each year I look for the best that I possibly can. I also revert some other varieties that I loved from previous years. Brimmer will easily make this list. Sandwiches with these were super good and I filled myself to the brim each time. Nice texture, size and old-time tomato flavor. These are sandwich perfect. Try them! -
Great sauce tomatoes come in different shapes and colors. Rico Di Parma tomato is one of them. This pleated tomato makes awesome sauce. Huge fruits are visually beautiful and clean. It's not a very juicy variety and cooks down into thick, stronger flavored sauce, that works well on your pasta or a base for your bisque and soups. Plants produce plenty fruits for such a large fruit. They are a bit late though. Our first ripened fruits were harvested at 85 days after transplant. We continued to harvest until cooler weather, in October. This variety is also beautiful on a platter. Great for sandwiches too! -
In the last four years we have grown out several Chinese varieties and all of them have been a pleasure to grow. Sekai Ichi tomato is just another one that we are so happy that we grew out. Very clean, crack free fruits were beautiful and tasty. Plants were hardy and demonstrated nice disease resistance. Fruits were about 4-10 ounces and very tasty. Meaty, nice juice, a little fruity and satisfying is how I would describe them. Perfect sandwich, and main crop tomato for market sales. Great snacker and slicer too! This is a must-grow if you like delicious pink tomatoes! -
We grew out yellow dragon tomato for the first time in 2018. It was a pleasing experience. 5 feet tall plants produced prolifically and were still doing so at season's end. They produced 3-5 ounce, pale yellow fruits with top side, dark antho, that sometimes streaked down to their bottom ends. Fruits were mild and juicy with some fruity and sweet undertones. They definitely were head-turners in the garden and at farmer's market too. Our first fruits began to ripen about 76 days after being transplanted in the garden. Perfect for salads, platters/garnish, tomato juice, snacking and fresh salsa and market sales! A solid choice for your garden! -
Dwarf Lucky Leprechaun tomato was the biggest surprise for us in the 2018 season. It caught me totally off guard by being the earliest variety out of 215 to begin ripening. We recorded its first ripened fruits in 62-64 days after transplant. I thought that this could be the case because there may have been some fruit setting when we transplanted it. But that was not the case, because all of our Lucky Leprechaun plants were ripening fruits at the same time. From that point they never stopped until the crop was done. Determinate plants are not taller than 2.5 feet and remain loaded. Fruits are mildly sweet and juicy. Nice flavor, not bland! A fantastic choice for early and container gardens. -
I was introduced to Velmahoza Magnate tomato about 5 years ago and I totally loved them. Somehow I forgot to grow them out again until 2018. This tomato reminds me a lot of Curtis Cheek tomato in looks, but has a totally different flavor and texture. Plants are wispy, as most oxhearts are. They grow to about 5 feet tall and produce pretty pink oxhearts. Our biggest fruits this year were about 14 ounces, but I would say that they average about 8-10 ounces. Ours always stand up well to early blight. Thick, smooth and sweeter meat that's made for sandwiches and sauces. Recommended! -
Super Choice tomato is a Kentucky heirloom beefsteak that did well for us in our 2018 grow-outs. Thick steamed, indeterminate and bushy plants, grew to about 7 feet tall and produced 12-20 ounce, red tomatoes with outstanding flavor. When well ripened, Super Choice is flavorful, meaty, smooth and a little tangy. there are some sweetish under-tones. I especially liked them sliced with a little salt and pepper. They were great on sandwiches too! Vines were not prolific but produced plenty for their fruit size. I am placing this one in the balanced category with plenty of flavors to experience. Nice sandwich tomato. Made some great fried greens!
