Homestead Tomato

Planted these last year and they were so very easy to grow. Taste is amazing and make wonderful sauces. This year I only planted 3 but since these are heirloom seeds others have popped up around my garden, not complaining one bit.

My homestead tomatoes are growing great! I have tons of tomatoes already and it's early in the season! They look wonderful on a trellis too!

I was very nervous this year given the drought conditions we experienced in Western Pa on top of the high UV index. I had planted 10 of these tomatoe plants before the weather turned for the worse. I was amazed that all of them survived. 1 in particular really did great and has produced the fattest tomatoes compared to the other 9. I weighed one which came out to 1/2 a lb. The other 9 plants are still producing and getting big and I can't wait to weigh them. By far, this is a plant you want to grow that can withstand high heat, high UV, and lack of rain.

I have grown these for years in high Colorado desert (irrigation required, 105 temps) and Hawaii rain forest (85 temps, and 140" of rain annually). These tolerate high rainfall, drought, humidity, desert low humidity and still perform as one of the sweetest, low acid best tasting little tomatoes I have grown. Excellent.
