So, I’m making my final seed purchases and I’ve left my tomato selection to the last minute! I have a list of possible tomato purchases and need to pair it down to a more manageable size. Here are my criteria:
• good-tasting
• high yields
• variety of early, mid and late season crop
• variety of cherry, small, medium and large fruit
• variety of colour
• indeterminate due to space restraints but will consider determinate.
I want to use these tomatoes for snacking, saucing and sandwiches. Here’s my list so far:
Early Indeterminate
Pink Ping Pong (cherry, pink)
Japanese Trifele Black (medium, black)
Black Pear (small, black)
Green Zebra (small, green)
Already have: Black Plum (small, black), Blondkopfchen (cherry, yellow) Cherokee Purple (purple, large), Earliest and Best (red, medium) Gardener's Delight (cherry, red)
Mid Indeterminate
Believe It Or Not (large, red)
Black from Tula (medium, black)
Bushwhopper (medium, red)
Green Velvet (medium, green)
Opalka (medium, red)
Earl of Edgecombe (medium, orange)
Purple Calabash (medium, purple)
Already have: Eva Purple Ball (medium, purple) Bonny Best (medium, red) Mirabelle Blanche (cherry, white), Rouge D'Irak (medium, red)
Late Indeterminate
Nebraska Wedding (medium, orange)
What do you guys suggest? Also, am I missing something amazing? BTW, I'm in Zone 5 near Ottawa, Canada.
Thanks!
