The Coeur d'Alene Coop
It's turning out to be a fantastic tomato season! The cherry types are coming on, and here are a few beauties. The first two images are the Italian Piennolo del Vesuvio, the famous storage tomatoes of Napoli. I love their pointed tips. These are traditionally hung indoors to extend the season. Next is Cherry Ember. Plants are heavy with these bracts of fruit. Striking red with orange stripes. Another huge producer is Baby Roma. Clusters of red, pear-shaped fruit hang on large indeterminate plants. A customer favorite, Sweetie sports a cluster of 12 fruit... this is one of many. Next is Raspberry Burst, a new favorite. Dwarf plants are about 24 inches tall and packed with deep red to purple cherry-type orbs. Finally, after all the trials and tribulations (if you follow my newsletter, you know), tiny Elf Tears! I shed my own when I saw these! LOL! True happiness!#thecoeurdalenecoop #heirloomtomatoes #organiccherrytomatoes #homegrowntomatoes #tomatolove ... See MoreSee Less
