Title: Favorite type of tomato to eat and favorite type to grow?
Post by: bwallace23350 on May 18, 2016, 09:50:37 pm

The best eating tomato I can think of is a pink brandywine but I love to grow orange tomatoes because they just look so cool on  the vine especially ox heart orange.

Amish paste, Red Zebra, German Red.   Plus any cherry tomato that self sows.

Heirloom Cherokee Purple for me. Delicious!

Average is overrated

I don't think there's a bad tomato. Be sure to put some pulverized limestone in there to prevent blossom end rot.

I am growing a Cherokee Purple for the first time ever.  Tell me more about the Red Zebra. Do not worry GSF but I always lime my tomatoes.
