Paul Robeson Tomato
The Paul Robeson tomato just might be my all-time favorite slicing tomato for Southern California. This beefsteak has beautiful color and a great heirloom look, but this tomato is about so much more than good looks. The fruit is easy to grow, maturing at just 65-70 days, and is a high producer.It also happens to be one of the best tasting tomatoes, if not THE best tasting tomato around. The tomato was named after Paul Robeson who was an actor, opera singer, athlete and civil rights activist....
Brandywine Tomato
Another great beefsteak tomato that is ideal for slicing is the Brandywine. This tomato plant has large-leaved foliage and produces large fruit in a variety of colors. The most common varietals are pink and red. It is a popular tomato plant, and you will notice that it does look different than most of the other tomato plants in your garden. It really does have an old-fashioned vibe and bigger leaves. This is a more late-ripening tomato variety. Harvesting typically begins around the 90 day ma...
Momotaro Tomato
Momotaro Tomatoes are the most popular variety in Japan. This hybrid has also become quite popular at farmer’s markets, thanks to its lovely pink flesh, sweet flavor, and long shelf life. This is a classic looking tomato. It is named for the legend of Momotaro, aka: Peach Boy. He is a baby boy found living inside a giant peach by farmers who yearned for a child of their own. He grew to be a celebrated figure who incouraged peace. There is a Momotaro Festival in Japan every year. I have to won...
Sweet 100 Cherry Tomato
If you want an easy to grow tomato that does well in pots or in a garden bed, the Sweet 100 Cherry Tomatois a great option. These cherry tomato plants are very prolific and these little tomatoes are great additions to salads. They are also just as tasty right off the vine. This tomato takes only 65 days to mature and is indeterminate, which means you will be popping cherry tomatoes into your mouth all summer long. There is another hybrid of this plant, the Super Sweet 100, which is also great...
Sungold Cherry Tomato
Ithink Sungold is probably my favorite cherry tomato in terms of flavor. It really has the sweet flavor of a bigger tomato, packed into an orange drop of sunshine. These beauties only need 60 days to reach maturity and are perfect for salads, pasta dishes, or snacking. When my daughter was a toddler I would often catching her over by my Sungold Tomato plant just gorging herself with little orange treats right off the vine. This is an indeterminate tomato and will often be the first and last t...
Yellow Pear Tomato
I love a pretty summer salad, and this tomato helps bring a color and vibrancy that definitely provides some cheer to your dishes. These tiny, pear-shaped tomatoes are abundant once the plant reaches maturity at 78 days. Yellow Pear is an indeterminate variety and will keep producing into the fall as long as there is no frost. They are quite disease resistant, so just watch out for bugs like aphids and tomato worms and you should have a happy plant. These 1-2″ tomatoes are an heirloom variety...
Roma Tomatoes
Roma Tomatoes are probably the most common tomato you will see in grocery stores in California. But, as someone who used to live in the heart of Roma Tomato country and used to see trucks of them rolling down the highway all summer, I can assure you that they pick those grocery store tomatoes when they are still green. Tomatoes are picked for grocery stores when they are still hard and green to help with transportation and extend shelf live but it comes with a big sacrifice- flavor. A homegro...
San Marzano Tomato
If you head to the grocery store, you will notice that the more expensive canned tomatoes (like my favorite, Muir Glen) that come from Italy are all made with San Marzano Tomatoes. This is because, in my opinion, San Marzano Tomatoes make the best sauce. These tomatoes are a bit larger than Roma Tomatoes (3 1/2 inches long and 6 ounces in weight) and the flesh is very thick and has very few seeds, making it perfect for rich sauces. They are indeterminate so they don’t show up all at once like...
- Let your plants get acclimated. Ease your tomato plants’ transition from the nursery to your garden by letting the plants sit outside for a few days before you replant them in pots or in the ground.
- Trim for transplanting. Before transplanting your tomato plants, use a clean pair of shears to snip off all but the top two or three branches. Bury the plant so that only these top branches are exposed and the rest of the stem is buried.
- Give support. As the tomatoes grow, they may get quite heavy. To help the plant support the weight of all its fruit, install a trellis, cage, or stakes to support the heavy branches.
- Get enough sun. Plant your tomato plants where they will get a minimum of six hours of sunlight every day. It’s crucial that your tomato plants get enough sunlight in order to fully ripen the fruits and develop their flavor.
