Everyone loves this bright, juicy fruit in salads, sandwiches and kebobs on hot, summer days (especially us!) But did you know there are almost as many kinds of tomatoes as there are ways to enjoy them? There are close to a thousand types of tomatoes in every shape, color, and size. Mind boggling, we know. If you’re still planning which kind of varietals to grow with your tomato fertilizer, here are our top picks for summer feasts:
Heirloom Tomatoes
These old-vine seedlings are referred to as vintage varieties and personify their namesake—a familial piece that’s been passed down for generations. They’re created by crossing two known parent seedlings and continuing the tradition for crops to come. Heirloom tomatoes are true to their name in appearance and taste—they come in special shapes and colors, and are among the most fleshy, flavorful kinds on the market.
Cherry Tomatoes
Bursting with flavor, these bite-sized crimson orbs are smaller and sweeter than their tabletop counterparts. Generally round or oblong, cherry tomatoes flourish in backyard gardens and usually end up in salsas, salads—or as raw, ready-to-eat snacks.
Plum Tomatoes
Medium sized and egg-shaped, plum tomatoes are famously found as the base in most tomato sauces. This robustly-flavored varietal is harvested mainly for canning. Because they’re generally less moist than other types, plum tomatoes are great for sauces, drying, or other concentrated tomato products, like pastes.
Tomatoes are best enjoyed when plucked just off the vine. Start planning your tomato garden today with the right sunny spot, organic garden fertilizer, heat tarp—and of course, the most valuable commodity—time. It’s only May! Start your seedlings now and you’ll be picking vine-ripe varietals in time for those July 4th burgers.
