We will be ordering our seeds soon for next year's plant sale. We must cut back on our varities this year. We grew over 24 varities of heirloms totaling more than 4,000 plants last year. Special thanks to Landis Valley Museum for the teacher inservice progam that taught me about growing heirlooms via their heirloom seed project. Our Ag-ed program heirloon plant project was just recognized by our National Association of Agriculture Educators for this student run project. Let us know if you have heirloom toamto variety requests for next year. We got over 50 request from our sale at Landis Valley last year. Thanks for tip of the hat to our Manheim Agriculture program.

I received a collection as a gift and it was life altering. Up until the moment I tasted an heirloom tomato from my own garden I hated tomatoes and would actually gag on the store bought variety. This year I have some volunteers (probably yellow pears), a lot of Amish paste and a couple Black Krims. One that stands out from Manheim's full list is the Bloody Butcher which is one of the best heirlooms I've ever grown as far as flavor.

The plants are not very prolific and you may only get 1 or 2 tomatoes. It is very sweet. I read somewhere that it used to be used for making wine. Riesentraube is also a nice tomato. I don't know much about the others. I've grown one or two of them, but they didn't stand out as good or bad. Giant Belgium is a very nice tomato.
