details on soil preparation, fertilization, harvesting and more.

Ugly
Tomatoes - In
recent months, there has been a tremendous interest worldwide in what has
been dubbed the "Ugly Tomato", brought on largely by extensive coverage
in the press. In many ways, this was brought on by the recent action of
the Florida Tomato Committee who chose to block the sale of the trademarked
tomato variety "Ugly Ripe", a tomato derived from the old French heirloom
tomato variety Marmande. The Ugly Ripe Tomato is solely produced by Santa
Sweets Incorporated, who are the same company who introduced the grape
tomato variety "Santa" or "Santa Sweet".

How
To Start Your Tomatoes From Seeds - Although tomatoes are often
regarded by many backyard gardeners to be difficult to start from seed
with positive results, the process is really not as difficult or demanding
as many would believe. Firstly, we need a good grade of tomato seed to
work with. The seed should originate through a reputable grower or dealer
and be clean of dirt, debris and other foreign materials.

Saving
Tomato Seeds - Tomatoes
are self-pollinated vegetables, meaning that the male and female parts
are in the same flower. Tomatoes usually pollinate their own flowers, requiring
no aid from insects.Many seed savers grow varieties side by side and still
get near 100% pure seed, though many growers are of the opinion that varieties
should be separated by 6'-15'+ to insure a 100% purity.

What
Is An Heirloom Tomato? - Originally,
the term “heirloom”, in reference to gardening, was coined during the early
1970’s to identify those vegetable and flower varieties that had originated
with a particular family of people and had subsequently been passed down
from one generation to the next up to modern day. Typically, these varieties
were obtained a single source who had maintained them so many years.

Should
I Grow Heirlooms or Hybrid Tomatoes? -
For the tomato grower who seeks to make a profit, or perhaps even a living
in growing tomatoes for sale to the public, the question is often asked:
Should I grow heirloom tomatoes or should I grow hybrid tomatoes to offer
to my customers? This question is in fact, perhaps contrary to the first
impression, more than just a moral question or a simple marketing
dilemma. The fact is, beyond the idea of the old versus the new, both the
heirloom tomatoes and the hybrid tomatoes have their own particular advantages
and disadvantages.

Tomato
Training Systems - There
are a wide range of training systems or support systems employed in the
culture of tomatoes. For the most part, these include growing the tomatoes
without support on the ground, growing them without support on the ground
with plastic or mulch; and growing them supported by cages, stakes, trellises
or
by weaving, either on the bare ground, with plastic or with mulch.

Companion
Planting For Tomatoes - The
age old method of planting tomatoes or other crops in neat rows, followed
by another row of peppers and then another row of eggplants or what have
you, is an unsuitable method of gardening that flirts with potential problems.
Though tomatoes and other crops have always been planted this way and many
good books on growing tomatoes suggest laying the plants out in neat rows,
this method is not natural and is sure to attract an entire menagerie of
pests who will gleefully munch on and destroy the fruits of your labour.
