If you love tomatoes but have never tried a home grown one then you are in for a treat. Most of the shop bought commercial tomatoes and seeds are breed for durability and not flavour. They are picked green and ripened artifically. Most Heirloom seed varieties are over 100 years old. They are becoming more readily available. For the last 5 years we have grown only heirloom tomatoes and wont eat shop bought.I must admit I was very hesitant at first to try these as they werent the perfect round tomato I had grown up with.. After one season I was hooked and you will be too. Give it a try

DETERMINATE OR INDETERMINATE
Determinate tomatoes are varieties that grow to a fixed mature size and ripen all their fruit in a short period, usually about 2 weeks. Once this first flush of fruit has ripened, the plant will begin to diminish in vigor and will set little to no new fruit.
Indeterminate tomatoes are actually vines that continue growing in length throughout the growing season. Also referred to as "vining" tomatoes, indeterminate tomato varieties will also continue to set and ripen fruit until killed off by frost.
TOMATILLO Purple
Its not a tomato but makes the most amazing Salsa easy
to grow
Tomatillos bear prolifically and are known for being tolerant of extreme conditions from dry farming to even cool nights. Tomatillos grow encased in a papery shell very similar looking to a Chinese Lantern (flower). The papery shell turns from green to brown and splits when they are ready. At this point they may feel sticky but are ready in the green stage for salsa.

Tomatillo Salsa
2 dozen tomatillos, husked and rinsed (less ripe are tangier, more ripe, sweeter)
1 small onion, diced or I have used shallots–delicious!
1 clove garlic, rough chopped
1 jalapeno, seeded & rough chopped
dash cumin
dash salt
Simmer the tomatillos for up to 5 minutes or until their
colors ‘browns’ a bit. Err on the side of underdone, as overcooking
will turn them to mush. Toss all other ingredients in a blender and add
tomatillos last–their juice is what will bring it all together. Pulse
briefly to incorporate. be careful when removing the lid as the hot ingredients
will steam out. That’s it! So good and tangy! This salsa freezes
well or can keep in the fridge up to about a week or so. Enjoy!

This open pollinated, bush type, cherry tomato was originally developed by the famous vegetable developer Dr. James R. Baggett at Oregon State University through breeding the Yellow Plum Tomato. Gold Nugget, also known as Golden Nugget, was first released to the public in 1983 and has been popular ever since. This tomato is perfectly suited for the climate of the Pacific Northwest United States and Canada, as well as other maritime climates. The Gold Nugget tomato is prolific producer of golden skinned, 1 inch diameter, globular to oval shaped tomatoes. The tomatoes are produced in prolific trusses on a small bush type, compact plant, making it ideal for the small garden. Nearly 75% of the tomatoes produced by Gold Nugget are seedless, crack resistant and feature a very sweet, flavorful and balanced taste. If the tomatoes are harvested continuously, Gold Nugget will out produce most other cherry tomato varieties and is ideal for use as a salad tomato. Determinate. Matures in about 55 days, which makes it one of the earliest tomatoes to produce.

HEIRLOOM Black Krim Tomato 10
SEEDS
Origin: Russia
This rare variety was one of our top sellers earlier this year and is
known in Russian as "Czerno Krimski" (Black Krim). Contrary
to popular misconception on the part of most Tomato growers who believe
that this variety is named after the Russian Crimea (Livadia), this
variety hails from the Isle of Krim in the Black Sea off the coast of
the Crimean peninsula. I have tried numerous strains of domestic Black
Krims before finally settling on a strain that we imported from Western
Russia, which is an outstanding strain.
Black Tomatoes have been super hot this year and this one is my best! This variety is a medium-large sized maroon beefsteak with green shoulders and an intense, unique taste! Ideal for slicing, salads and more. Due to their natural salty taste, sliced Black Krims do not require salting and only a hint of pepper, which makes them ideal if you can not have salt in your diet. The production of this variety is intense and it will do quite well in containers, but if not watered evenly during the summer, this variety is subject to splitting. About 75-80 days to maturity.

HEIRLOOM MORTGAGE LIFTER
Mortgage Lifter heirloom tomato was developed in the early 1930's by
a man named M.C. “Radiator Charlie” Byles. Byles was a radiator
repairman who, like many of his countrymen, struggled to keep his finances
in order during the Great Depression. As the story goes, Radiator Charlie
cross-bred the largest tomatoes he could find in his hometown of Logan,
West Virginia, and sold the resulting plants for a dollar each. The
profits he earned were substantial enough that he was able to pay down
his mortgage with them!
Mortgage Lifter is an indeterminate tomato variety, which means that the plants will grow vines and continue to grow taller as the gardening season progresses. Without pruning, the plant will continue to grow longer. To allow the plant to focus on growing higher yields of fruit, pinch the suckers on the tomato vine, and stake the plant well.
