Picked these from my garden last night.
Amazingly, even though this has been a pitiful year for tomatoes, mine have come through with a minimum of complication, aside from the fucking aphids.
There are a few other varieties that haven’t quite ripened yet, but these 10 provide a pretty good snapshot of what I’ve been nurturing for the last few months.
All varieties were chosen for their superiority over bland, supermarket cardboard tomatoes.
In case you were wondering, from left to right, we have;
Costoluto Genovese (or Pink Zapotec, not entirely certain)
Black Krim
Garden Peach
Black Zebra
Green Zebra
San Marzano
Yellow Pear
Black Cherry
Sungold
Red Currant
The vines are still bowing under the weight of all the unripened fruit, but hopefully with just a few more +20 days, I’ll be able to wrap things up.
Until next time…
Looks like the friggin UN of tomato species. I didn’t know you were so fond of aphids. Here, Here! for a short self imposed LOA. Hope all is well.
HA! Scott, I always thought of myself as the garden-keeper of ugly duckling tomatoes – I grow the ones that get overlooked for not being “normal”.
I really like your UN analogy though – I want to get that put on a business card or something!
