Every year I've added a few more heirloom tomato varieties to my collection. As of my 2012 seed inventory, I have about 28 varieties in my collection and I will be adding a few more this year. I don't grow all of them every year and I don't continue growing the ones that I don't like.
Here's a portion of what I have stashed in the fridge (in no particular order):
| Kellog's Breakfast |
| Yellow Pear |
| Bloody Butcher |
| Japanese Black Trifele |
| Aunt Ruby's German Green |
| Principe Borghese |
| Martino's Roma |
| Polish Linguisa |
| Matt's Wild Cherry |
| Cherokee Purple |
| Pruden's Purple |
| Taxi |
| Tigerella |
| Black Krim |
| Goldrush Currant |
| Yellow Brandywine |
| San Marzano |
| Amish Paste |
Moonglow
Chocolate Stripes
Creme Brulee
Peach Blow Sutton
Anna Russian

Leave a comment below (USA and CANADA residents only please) telling me which three varieties from my list that you'd like to grow this year. A week from today (Wednesday Feb 1), I will randomly select 2 winners and mail you a packet of seeds for each variety you've requested (at least 10 seeds per packet). If you want descriptions of the individual varieties, check out either
Pinetree Garden Seeds or
Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds.
Keep in mind that these are seeds that I've saved myself, so the germination rate and trueness to type can't be guaranteed...that said, I've have excellent results saving seeds year after year and I think they'll work great for you to!
