2021 TOMATOES PLEASE NOTE, THIS LIST IS NOT EXHAUSTIVE AND IS SUBJECT TO WHAT IS AVAILABLE FROM OUR GROWERS. Days to Harvest is the estimated time it will take plants to bear ripe fruit from planting date. Type indicates the category of the tomato. Beefsteak- Very large, dense fruits. One slice will make a sandwich. Cherry- small fruited, great for snacking, grilling and salads. Includes grape, currant, and Julianne (elongated cherry) tomatoes. Sauce- drier, meatier flesh than other types, usually oblong in shape. Best type for canning, fresh cooking, sauces, and salsa. AKA paste, plum, or saladette. Slicer- standard round tomato. Medium to large fruits great for sandwiches, salads and grilling. Heirloom is any variety that has been around for 50+ years. They come in all colors, shapes & sizes. Back when flavor was the most important component, astute gardeners selected their favorites, saved the seed and passed them on to the next generation. Saved seed should come true. Determinate- “Bush” tomatoes that grow to a compact height, stop growth, and then ripen all their fruit at about the same time. They benefit from some support, generally should not be pruned, and can perform well in containers. Indeterminate- “Vining” tomatoes that continue to grow, flower, set fruit, and ripen throughout the growing season until killed by frost. They require substantial support/caging as they can grow to 10’ or more. Standout characteristics- Includes a five star taste rating from Cornell University’s database when available.
