Unusual Tomatoes

These are the tomatoes that I wasn’t sure what category to put them in. They have unusual colors, stripes, and spots. While you can find different colors and stripes in other catagories, this is where all the ones hard to classify live. I had to put them somewhere! Green Zebra is a customer favorite. If you like a more tart tomato, this one is for you. Highly popular with chefs. This year I am bringing back varieties from the Indigo family. They have more anthocyanins in them. And everybody knows they are good for you! (Think blueberries). Indigo Cherry Drop, Indigo Apple, and Indigo Blueberries.

The Wild Boar Family is quite extensive. Dark Galaxy, Solar Flare, Lovely Lush, Pink Boar, Lucid Gem, and Brad’s Atomic Grape (a cherry tomato) are just some the varieties developed for Brad Gates Wild Boar Series that I am offering this year.

"From Brad Gates, Napa Valley, California, a small organic farmer, tomato breeder and grower of heirlooms since 2000. He has bred several dozen new tomatoes, hand picking his varieties based on flavor from over 1,000 heirlooms, crosses and hybrids. His main focus is on bicolor and striped varieties with extreme flavor and fascinating looks. They perform exceptionally well for home and market gardeners - even in areas with challenging climates. From the garden to your table, these are sure to be some of the prettiest, tastiest and most unique tomatoes you'll ever grow and eat! Featured in national magazines."

In my world, not all tomatoes are red. I like to think they are a little different, kind of like me. Try one, you just might like it. It will certainly add color to your salads or soups.
