Let's Talk About Heirloom Tomatoes

[HotPepperQueen]

Your tomato pictures are giving me hope that I'll have tomatoes someday!

Ya'll need to go put a heat lamp on your tomatoes so somebody else can post pictures and reviews besides me!

I hope to have some pics soon, a few cherry types at least. They're all setting on fast with this 85 degree, rainy, humid weather we've been having.

I won't have a tomato until August, keep dreaming!

I had a better boy and a Cherokee Purple sliced for supper tonight, the Better Boy was good, but not in the same class as the Cherokee.

@Mauldintiger post pics of your Cherokee Purple!

I ate the only one that was ripe!

While weeding the pumpkins yesterday, I found a volunteer tomato plant! There haven't been tomatoes in that area for almost 3 years! If I remember correctly, the last variety that was in that area was either Brandywine Pink, Big Rainbow, or Black Krim.

So you'll have a Brandy-Krim-Rainbow!!

Cherokee purple is my reliable producer but I have more space than I can use so I put in several different heirlooms every year along with a few hybrids. This way I'm relatively certain to get a harvest.
