My Heirloom Favorites!

Here are a few of my favorite heirloom and open pollinated vegetables and herbs that I grow EVERY year! These are tried-and-true varieties that grow very well in our region, but more importantly, I love them for their flavor, production, dependability, and looks!

The Coeur d'Alene Coop
I'm growing a "winter" tomato this year! What's that? Ah, it's a beautiful, little paste tomato from the hillsides of Mount Vesuvious in Italy: Pianollo del Vesuvio. Pianollo translates to hanging, and that's exactly how the large clusters of fruit are stored...for months, in Italy. The fruit becomes sweeter, the longer it hangs. I love growing something new and have been intrigued by these tomatoes since seeing them packed in jars of saltwater in a deli in Rome a few years ago (still kicking myself for not buying a jar). My hopes are high this season, as I have five plants in the ground. Stocky, indeterminate plants only grow to 36 to 48 inches. I discovered another seed source and ordered three more types. If they produce, plants will be available next year for all to grow winter tomatoes!#thecoeurdalenecoop #italiantomatoes #pianollodelvesuvius #winterstoragetomatoes ... See MoreSee Less
