Lupara Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 The Juliet is the first one that comes to mind for me. 56 days to maturity is hard to beat good flavor pasty enough for salsas, sauce and drying resists cracking unlike many smaller varieties good disease resistance I'll plant others but this has been a go to variety for quite a while now.

steelnut Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 I love the flavor of Celebrity and always plant San Martzano's for canning. And every year I try another one, this year it's Johnson something? I can't remember the name, but it's Johnson something. I'll see how it goes LFG and lavender 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bub Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Mountain Merit is my favorite eating tomato to plant in my garden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lavender Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Like Steelnut, I like Celebrity for eating and San Marzano for canning. Both grow under adverse conditions. I'm trying a cultivar of Celebrity this year it is called Celebration. Celebrity seeds are difficult to come by. I try something new each year also. This year beside Celebrity it is Maestro. I also saved seeds from the Kumato and we shall see if they are an open pollinated plant or a hybrid. steelnut 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lupara Posted May 25, 2018 Author Share Posted May 25, 2018 I picked up San Marzano, Yellow Pear and Celebrity. These were the only varieties recommended by members, that I could find at two locations. I'll still pick up some cherry or grape size for some early harvesting. Thanks.

Petee Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 The BUDS plant bazaar will have about 20 varieties of tomatoes from huge heirlooms to teeny Spoon Tomatoes, and lots in between. They are all raised and donated by members, and all donations go to support the BUDS projects this coming summer, right here in DuBois. We also provide and plant the bigger street pots from Main Street down to Brady, and we assist Revitalization with some of their pots. We provide educational gardening programs monthly to the public and also give a scholarship to the Penn State Master Gardener program. Come get individually planted plants for your garden, no need to drag home 4-6 in order to get the one you want. Make a donation to the beautification of your own community. It will hopefully be on Wednesday-Thursday-Friday and Saturday after Memorial Day at Charlie's Alternators. Take time while you are there to tour the gardens to see what we have been doing. Your donations are what the group exists on, so please be generous. sapphire 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't begin to list them all. I came away with a half dozen different varieties to try out. Very cordial, helpful and knowledgeable hosts as well. I highly recommend a visit. This will be an annual stop for me. sapphire 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petee Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 Thank you. We try hard to select varieties with different uses that we personally can recommend for a specific taste or use. I can't wait to see how the Rocky Tomatoes cook up, how pretty the Indigo Tomatoes are in real life, if the Bulls Heart are as fabulous in a sandwich as they were last year, if the Black Beauty Tomatoes are as good tasting as they look, and if my favorites are still Green Zebra and Chocolate Cherry Tomatoes. sapphire 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah Geez. I got the Zebra, the Atomic, the Sun Gold, the Purple Cheyenne, the Yellow Pear, the Celebrity and the Ox Heart. Don't make me come back down there. For now my neighbors, friends, family, strangers passing by, and I thank you. Do let us know how the new varieties taste. See you next year. sapphire 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
