Ponderosa Purpurviolette Tomato
In 2018 I was gifted a package of hard to find and rare seeds. I grew out about 25 varieties. Ponderosa Purpurviolette Tomato is one of them. This fantastic taster with nice texture has really given me the drive to grow even more rare cultivars. It has a really good old-time tomato tart with a. nice blend of sweetness, excellent overall taste! Perfect sandwich tomato. Hardy plants produce plenty, but they are not prolific. I got about 13 fruits from one plant and 15 from the other three. So a total of 58 fruits from 4 plants. I'll take it! I forgot to take notes on leaf type, so forgive me. Indeterminate, 80 days!

When I first heard about someone sharing Cherokee Purple Potato Leaf tomato seeds, I was very skeptical. Nonetheless, I decided to try them. What I got was prolific plants that produced dark colored, 8-12 ounce fruits that were tasty, sweeter and juicy. They had very good flavor but different texture to Cherokee Purple. Potato leafed plants were very disease resistant and never showed any signs of diseases. As evidence that this is a good tomato, it was one of the few varieties that raccoons attacked in our garden. Raccoons do not touch our tomatoes if they are not tasty. They kept returning these plants night after night. These are great for sandwiches, sauces, market sales and more. -

Tomate Cimarron Legendario
One of the strangest tasting varieties I have ever grown, Tomate Cimarron Legendario is truly difficult for me to explain. It's not sweet or acidic. In fact, it doesn't even taste like a tomato. There is a lingering taste that's interesting and inviting, but to me, it's not very tomatoey. It's a Cuban cherry variety for which I was gifted seeds. What I do know is that it has perhaps the best resistance to disease than any variety I have ever grown. This variety is prolific, hardy and as solid as you could find. I am just not sure about the taste. Try some and give me some feedback. 65 days to ripen from transplant. (Gatersleben LYC 3468) -

Balanced flavor, great for an early tomato. Snacking, canning, salads and more. Worth my while! Get your baskets ready! Novelty! -
Ivan Tomato
Ivan tomato is a Missouri family heirloom that is not well known. As a result, not many people are currently growing it. During my research, I discovered that only one vendor was carrying it. I believe it is because of this vendor that this cultivar made it's way to me. This variety needs to be grown by more fanciers, in order for it to be preserved! Our Ivan plants were tall and vibrant. They produced high quantities of tennis ball sized, red fruits that were delicious and inviting. A mid to late season variety, these have really good old time, full flavored, balanced taste. Our plants showed good disease resistance and were among the last to go down. This is a great slicer and market tomato. Try some when you are making your next sandwich. It works! -

My spirits got an even bigger boost when I found out that these had good taste. I wouldn't say that it's the best thing that I ever tasted, but they were quite good.
