I'm thinking ahead to the spring plant swap... I only sowed a few kinds of tomatoes today. I should have room for another half tray of extras (maybe 24 plants), so I'm wondering what people might like.
Asking for requests from this list -- in the absence of feedback will grow extras of the round beefsteak types and not of the Speckled Roman or Amish Paste.
Amish Paste - really an oxheart variety, despite its name. good for eating fresh in sandwiches, meaty but juicy. Usually 12-14 oz in my garden.
German Pink - beefsteak variety, large pink tomato (usually sweeter than red varieties). new to me but gets great reviews for taste and productivity.
Moondance Special - all I know is that this is a variety "Horseshoe" developed on Moondance Farms, and it's one that's in high demand by his customers every year, both as plants and for fruit. If Shoe grows it every year, I want it in my garden!
Mr. Stripey - my very favorite bicolor! Beefsteak type, med to large size. Eat this one when the blush on the bottom streaks its way up the sides of the fruit
Potato Top - OK, I'm not actually offering plants this year, but cross your fingers that my 4 precious seeds germinate so I can offer both seeds and plants next year!
Speckled Roman - another that's new to my garden. Large roma type, red with wiggly stripes of yellow-orange. Cross between 'Banana Legs' (which I've grown & enjoyed) and 'Roman Candle'..
Wisconsin 55 - mid-sized round red OP variety developed by the University of Wisconsin. Great for canning (smooth shape means skins slip off easily), also delicious for fresh eating.
