OTHER: There are a lot of tomatoes I love for various reasons or uses, but these are my absolute favorite. Every year without fail, they excel beyond my expectations & perform better than all the other varieties I grow. They are among the first to mature, the last to give up fighting through the chill of fall, & produce incredible amounts of fruit. I harvested these daily for many months. I wouldn't dream of going a season without them. They couldn't be easier to care for, & will make you feel like the king or queen of the garden.
The orange color is fun, & the bite size fruit is very sweet & juicy. The plants are open pollinated (& indeterminate in case you hadn't guessed that already) & the fruit grows in neat clusters. Because of their sweetness, they are a joy to eat fresh off the vine, or use them in the way you would any cherry tomato.
Tomatoes have a wide variety of health benefits. They are high in the antioxidant lycopene, & contain high amounts of vitamins A, B, & C as well as many other vitamins & minerals.
Tomatoes can be eaten fresh like a fruit, added to salads, in salsa, or sliced for sandwiches. They can be cooked in any number of ways like grilled, fried, baked, or stewed, made into tomato bisque, added to stews, mixed veggies, or pretty much anything :) Of course without tomatoes, there would be no ketchup or red sauce for pizzas & pastas. Tomatoes can be stored by freezing, canning, or drying them.
Tomato plants are either considered to be determinate or indeterminate. What’s the difference? The fruit of determinate plants all mature at nearly the same time. Indeterminate plants continue to grow & produce fruit until frost.
