Milka’s Red Bulgarian Midseason
Regular Leaf
Bulgarian tomatoes tend to be on the sweet side and this tomato is no exception. I found the sweetness of this tomato to rank right up there with modern day hybrids. Juicy red beefsteak tomatoes are borne in clusters of up to three and weigh between 10-16 oz(280-450g).
Neves Azorean Red Late Midseason
Regular Leaf
Tony Neves and his family immigrated from the Portuguese Azores and settled in the Boston area. The family brought with them their prized family heirloom tomato seeds. Tony traded some of his prized family heirloom tomatoes for fertilizer from the owner of Neptune Fertilizer Company. Dr. Carolyn Male received the seeds from Chuck Perry whose cousin knew people at the fertilizer company. Dr. Male held a naming contest online and Neves Azorean Red won. The taste is something very special, deep and rich, which has made it a mainstay in the gardens of heirloom tomato aficionados around the world. Fruit size is 1 lb. (450 g).
Pasquini’s Passion Midseason
NEW
Regular Leaf
Pasquini’s Passion is another variety sent to me by Glenda Zamzow (AB) who saved a few varieties from her 92 year old Italian gentleman’s tomato garden. Pasquini’s Passion is an absolute flavour standout- one of my finest tasting beefsteaks- as it possesses such an incredible depth of flavour. Fruit hang on clusters of 4-5 per truss and average around 300+ grams (10.6 oz) with slightly ribbing.
