Personal Beefsteaks

Schufrei · 3 Weeks Ago

It seems like everyone wants their tomatoes to be huge - except me. I drool at the thought of a big, juicy beefsteak, but generally the only one eating my tomatoes is me. Sure, I could grow delicious 2-pound tomatoes, but unless it can be consumed in one sitting, much of it will go to waste. And I don’t have to tell you how heartbreaking that would be. SO… here’s my question: can anyone recommend good smaller heirloom varieties, especially beefsteak types, if such a thing exists. I learned about Rutgers right here in Tomatoville, and that’s become a garden staple. But I sure would love to find a mini-Brandywine or Prudens Purple or similar. Suggestions?
