Love Apples pomi d'amore pomme d'amour HEIRLOOM TOMATO PLANTS

How romantic. Not so much for me. I planted too many seeds. Hubby isn't happy with all these 'mater critters growing everywhere. You love tomatoes, don't you? Now's the time to plant and they're ready to feel the love!

What we have too much of (so far!)

------------------------------------------------------------------------
BIG RAINBOW TOMATO- heirloom beefsteak, bi-color, indeterminate

COPIA TOMATO- cross between herilooms green Zebra and Marvel Stripe, indeterminate

PINEAPPLE TOMATO- heirloom grows to 2 lbs. Bi-colored, yellow beefsteak has a red blushing and streaks on the outside. It's yellow interior contains few seeds and a red star-burst in the center. Taste is wonderfully mild with tropical fruity-sweet flavors.

GENOVESE TOMATO- Italian, heat-loving, heirloom tomato that has been enjoyed for many generations along the Mediterranean. Large, deep-red fruits have a singularly fluted profile, are deeply ridged, and heavily lobed. Meaty, full-flavored, slightly tart, and delicious. Makes a rich and pungent pasta sauce.

These are unusual tomatoes. If you're like regular maters, hit the big box store or wally world. If you like the different heirlooms, then you found the right place!
