2019 Tomatoes

 

Italian San Marzano

Heirloom, Sauce Tomato

Renee’s Garden: “Treasured old Italian variety whose reliable heavy yields of plump, elongated fruit taste great fresh picked and also stand out for cooking into rich, thick sauce.”

 

Crimson Carmello

Hybrid, Slicing Tomato

Renee’s Garden: “Pair juicy slices with minced basil and a drizzle of fruity olive oil or toss chopped Carmellos with fresh herbs, garlic, hot pasta and grated cheese for simple summer feasts.”

 

Red Rosso Sicilian

Heirloom, Deep Lobed Stuffing and Paste Tomato

Baker Creek:”Deeply ribbed, intensely red fruit reaches up to 5 ounces. Firm, solid flesh and somewhat hollow seed cavity make this a star for stuffing or paste, but the ribbing also gives slices a scalloped appearance which is lovely on a plate. First grown in this country by Ann Fuller of Mitchell, Indiana, who received seed from a Sicilian man in 1987. Richly flavored, just as the Italians like their tomatoes, and stunningly beautiful!”
