Heirloom tomatoes are a seasonal treat. They are not good looking (actually some are very ugly) — Ah but the flavor is close to perfection. Here’s a flat of beefsteaks from last summer. Beefsteaks are the largest varieties of cultivated tomatoes; some weighing a pound or more. And, our favorite fruit fresh eatin-wise.
Luckily, seeds were saved. The picture below shows the amount of saved seeds from just one tomato. And, we can’t wait to get going with seeds starts later this spring.
What kinds of “beefsteak” tomatoes are we looking at? I have had limited success with tomato seed saving and will be looking forward to an update on your newest efforts!
Thanks for asking. These are the Pineapple Tomato. By the way, garlic and tomatoes are good companion crops.
