I weighed 20 of them on average it was 4oz but I had some smaller and some a little bigger. 4.5oz was the biggest.

The stuffed pepper is definitely more popular but I prefer the stuffed tomato. There are only a few tomatoes suitable for stuffing. That is why I am working on this variety.

Believe it or not I have never made a stuffed tomato but I have had them with sausage or hamburger as the key ingredient.

Here is a variety that I have been growing and selecting for a couple years. I am trying for a small stuffing tomato. If you would be interested in growing out some, let me know and I will send you some seeds. The tomatos from the parent are a great tasting tomato itself. Even if you don't get...

It works for me because I like to can as many quarts as I can all at once but I do understand that some people like a season long producer.

Determinate with about 75% of all the tomatos turning at once with the rest ripening within a week

It tasted really good on my hamburger. It is turning out to be a very versatile tomato.

Missed your post. The fruit is red but I was talking about the seed.

Sorry I missed your post. I was talking about the seed.

This is a new variety for me this year (Don Juan) I got the seed from J&L seed seed. It is so solid that I will have to buy more seed next year because I am not getting any. It has made a great tasting sauce.

I just got done saving some peace vine cherry tomatoes and they have a slight red tinge to them. Is that normal for this variety? I have never saved this tomato before.

It does and something could be lost in the translation. My last name Ziegler means one who makes bricks. Fleisch is German for flesh.

I have some seed from 2014 season still and I will use it next year. Don't let the name fool you.

I will only save seed from the other plants for the Heirloom, so that I can maintain the proper seed. I am surprised at the variation myself. That is why I am going to save seed from several different tomatos on that plant and grow them out in a different garden that is about 5 miles away. Even...

Ziegler's fleisch. There's some others who are saving the tomato but they have the spelling wrong. The name means "brick makers flesh" or "flesh like a brick".

Our family Heirloom was created by a great uncle of mine from Illinois. He owned a seed house and raised many different types of vegetables but the only surviving vegetable is my tomato. It is still being saved and sold by a few people. When I first saw it listed in the seed savers exchange 20...

Here is a tomato from the same plant. The ribbed ones appear to be slightly bigger but that will remain to be seen as I start the selection process. Also I need to pick 5 names for the 5 new tomatos that I will save the seed from. I want to incorporate my children's names into the names of the...

I have not had any ripen yet but I one that looks like it will be red. As far as I can see it looks like about 5 tomatos from that plant will have ribbing to a various degree. The tomato in the picture has the most pronounced ribbing. I couldn't get a good picture of the other 4 but I will add a...

I have been growing a family Heirloom tomato for about 20 years now called "ziegler's fleisch" up until now I have had the same tomatos show up year after year (same shape, size, color). However this year I have a new shape showing up, it's a ribbed shape. I don't think it's a result of an...

In Indiana it usually starts to dry out.
