The Tomato Bed:
Descriptions from Johnny's Selected Seeds
Tomatillo de Milpa -
Mexican heirloom. These grow unattended in family corn fields and are
harvested for home use and for selling in town on market day. High dry matter,
small to medium, round fruits store fresh for several weeks, handy for fresh
salsa. Portions of the fruits blush with purple, especially after
harvest.
Striped German - The flat, medium to large, variably ribbed-shoulder tomatoes are shaded
yellow and red. The marbled interior looks beautiful sliced. Complex, fruity
flavor and smooth texture. Medium-tall vines bear 12+ oz. fruit. Indeterminate.
Defiant - This
mid-size slicer has high resistance to late blight and intermediate resistance
to early blight combined with great flavor. The 6-8 oz., globe-shaped fruit are
smooth and medium-firm with good texture. Deep red internal and external color.
High-yielding, medium-sized plants are widely adaptable. Defiant was
traditionally bred to inherit the Ph-2 and Ph-3 major genes for late blight
(Phytophthora) resistance. Our thanks to No. Carolina State Univ. for their
cooperation. Determinate.
Cobra - Purchased at Pittsboro
Farmer's Market. Popular poly-tunnel tomato with good appearance and
taste. Large, 6-8 oz., smooth fruit on vigorous vines with abundant foliage.
Resists cracking and some races of leaf spot. Indeterminate.
