What were the top tomatoes in your vegetable garden this season? Here are the eight great varieties that made this summer especially tomatoey for me.
This season ’s tomato roundup includes a few familiar favorites and a few new - to - me varieties that I plan to produce again . Each of these eight tomatoes satisfied a sure requirement in my garden .
Some were well-fixed to rise , while others matured apace for degraded eating . The late - time of year tomatoes had unbelievable flavor even if there were fewer on the vine . Here are my eight cracking and colorful tomato favorites for 2018 – in case you ’d like to give them a attempt in your garden :
Pink Brandywine(Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds ) 80 daytime ; heirloom and spud - leaf tomato plant , expectant fruits that are a beautiful pinkish colouration ; a small return , but the flavor is worth it .
Black Krim(saved seeds ) 80 days ; heirloom tomato plant that I absolutely have to grow every yr ; gorgeous dark purple fruits with cryptic smoky flavor .
Garden Peach(Southern Exposure Seed Exchange ) 75 days ; heirloom tomato that ’s xanthous with a hint of pinkish redolent of a summer ravisher ; great tone and a good producer .
Costoluto Genovese(Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds ) 80 days ; profoundly fluted love apple with a copious violent color ; extremely flavoursome and excellent product . Can be under the weather , but are attractive when sliced .
