HAVE: Tomato varieties

19 years ago

Seeds are available from this season's tomato varieties listed below. Just email me your selections and I'll give you my postal address - I will send up to eight varieties in exchange for a SASE.

1884 - seed for this variety was supposedly found and germinated after a huge flood in the US in 1884. Large pink beefsteak. Late season.

Airyleaf - long shape similar to San Marzano, medium pink. Good producer. Mid season.

Alyesha Popovich - received this in a trade from Belarus, a prolific red beefsteak variety, copes well with shadey conditions. Mid late.

Amish salad - prolific pink small egg shape. Early.

Big Yellow - large deep yellow beefsteak, not a big producer. Late.

Black Early - good producer, large purple/black beefsteak with green shoulders. Mid late.

Black Krim - ditto

Brandywine (Sudduth strain) - large pink beefsteak. Late.

Burwood Prize - Prolific, small red globes.

Cherokee Chocolate - mahogany/purple beefsteak. Late.

Crnkovic Yugoslavian - very large pink beefsteak. Mid season.

Druzba - medium large red globes, Bulgarian. Early.

Eckert Polish - large pink beefsteak, one of my favourites, and the seeds are from my brother's plant.... my plant wasn't correct this year so I begged for some tomatoes for seeds. Mid late.

Erika D'Australia - very large red beefsteak. Very late.

Geswein's Purple Bonny Best - medium pink globe. Late.

Golden Oxheart - medium yellow variable shapes. Late.

Heatherington Pink - medium to large pink beefsteak. Late.

Indian Moon - medium yellow globe. Mid late.

Jaune Flammee - prolific orange small globe. Early.

Jaune Negib - prolific small yellow beefsteak with creamy coloured flesh. Early.

Lucky Cross - large pink/yellow bi-colour beefsteak, not a big producer but taste was great. Late.

Manyel - medium yellow globes, slightly citrus notes.

Marianna's Peace - large pink beefsteak, not a big producer but great taste. Late.

Mother Russia - medium pink globe. Early.

Pale Perfect Purple - large pink globe. Mid season. Best tasting tomato at the Rutherglen Tomato Taste Fest, but we didn't have any of the late varieties to compare with, so keep that in mind. Some of the late varieties have fantastic flavour and well worth the wait (if your season is long enough!).

Pearly Pink Cherry - prolific pink plum shape. Mid season.

Principe Borghese - red plum, great for drying. Mid season.

Prue - deep pink heart, not a big producer but tasty. Late.

Red Brandywine - large red beefsteak, good producer. Late.

Regina's Yellow - huge pink/yellow bi-colour beefsteak. Late.

Rose Quartz multiflora - prolific multiple clusters of small pink cherry tomatoes, like bunches of grapes. Early.

Stor Gul - medium large variable shape yellow (mostly globes), good producer. Mid season.

The Orange - prolific apricot coloured beefsteak. Late.

Whippersnapper - dwarf plant (good for containers), prolific pink plum cherry tomatoes.

I misspelled Erika d'Australie as Erika D'Australia, sorry!

It's Erika d'Australie, sometimes spelled Erica d'Australie, sometimes shortened to Australie even, if I recall correctly.

I probably should add that Jaune Negib is more medium size than small... it's all relative, say when comparing Jaune Negib to Regina's Yellow or Erika d'Australie, then it is small.

Remember, if you have a selection of early, mid and late varieties you can have tomatoes over a much longer period

So don't be shy folks!

Tomato-killing virus makes its appearance in California

That isn't good news, but seed companies are isolating tomato varieties that are resistant to the virus. Those in areas that already are threatened by the virus are working on the problem. Planting squash as a trap crop seems to help (see the link at the bottom). I've seen only one site that says you have to kill the pests that appear on trap crops (for anything), but that makes sense. If they aren't killed, then they'll lay over during the winter in huge numbers (they're incredibly prolific), nourished by the trap crop, and return in even greater numbers than the original infestation. There are several articles about whitefly control that you can google. All that I've seen recommend chemical sprays, which will kill beneficial insects, too. Here is a link that might be useful: Squash as a trap crop

WANTED: Tomato - Black Prince Seeds

Hi, I have some Cholocate Cherokee tomato seeds. I had Black Krim, wonder if they are the same as Black Prince?, but let them die out without saving seeds, darn! I am looking for Verna Orange also. I have done a test planting on some seed I have that is a bit old, so in few days will know what varieties I still hold that are viable. We could trade lists then, lol. Cheers Linda

HAVE: Heirloom tomatoes and more to trade!
Q
Comments (5)
I have a few heirlooms not on your list. Hawaiian Sweet Red Current, Ponderosa Pink, Hometead, Roma, Rutgers, Jubilee Golden & Marglobe. Of which I could trade 30 seeds of each for your Blackcherry, Red Brandywine, Gold Medal, and Amana Orange. I would like about the same in seeds, or I could trade 50+ seeds of each, if this is to your liking. I have some yellow pear also, but can't say these are heirloom, but are of a good taste nonetheless. Kris Northern VA.....I don't have a page yet...sorry, maybe in a week or so, just started again after years of not looking in seed exchange. Pic Jubilee Golden, Marglobe...Hope they go thru?

Great work, PP. Thanks and very interesting. I will get back to you ASAP with my free list and some requests.

How did Rose Quartz taste for you?

Best, grub.

Rose Quartz multiflora tasted great to me, the only draw back being that they take two hands to pick (they seem strongly attached to the plant compared to some, but the bonus is that they don't drop all over the place). They are perfect whole in tossed salads!

Thank you PP for the seeds. I have never seen such a wonderful collection of plants. The propagation hints also I will take on. You are to be congratulated PP for your devotion, not only is your garden the best I have seen but your willingness to pass on your knowledge is a very nice thing to do. I will let you know how I get on.Thank you.

Folks, I forgot to mention that both Manyel and Whippersnapper are EARLY varieties.

Peter, you're welcome. But praising my garden? OMG, it's a nightmare to garden here! You musta had rose coloured glasses on when you called in yesterday, hahaha

Whippersnapper is a really cute plant. Best in a pot or even hanging basket, I'd say. It's early and produces and produces and produces... I ripped it out a few days ago because I kept stepping on it in the tomato jungle. The sheep loved it.

Hi Peter

By the look of the fruit, which is quite similar to Whippersnapper in size and general shape, and the fact that all the plants showed the same characteristics (indeterminate, plus identical fruit) I suspect yours were the F1 Hybrids of an accidental cross of Whippersnapper with an unknown parent. How did it taste?

Folks I have plenty seeds left. I intend sitting down once all the SASEs are in and I'll process them all at the same time (well, that's the plan anyhow) *grin*

I don't seem to be able to find my Brandywine seeds, so that one is unavailable for this season, sorry.

For those who requested it, I'm sending a substitute (Earl's Faux Brandywine) which has been touted as even better tasting, with the added bonus of being more prolific than regular Brandywine. So you won't miss out entirely
