The Different Tomatoes

I am growing 4 different kinds of tomatoes in the garden this summer, and its interesting to watch the four different types of plants grow, flower, and start to develop fruit. I know it seems logical, but most of the plants look the same (even when they are different heights) until they start to develop fruit. So, without further ado, here they are.....


This is the Roma. You can see it has a very distinct shape to the tomato. As they are getting bigger they look more the shape of pears then anything else. They seem to push the flower they are sprouting from to the side as they grow, instead of growing out of the middle of the flower.



These are the Juliets. These plants are HUGE. They also seem to be very aggressive both out and up as they are creeping out of their space and into the strawberries and peppers that border them. The seem to grow directly out of the flower as with the Burpee and Heirloom, but they are almost consistently growing 8 tomatoes together at one time. I am seemingly going to have 100lbs of these tomatoes.


These are the big boys, the Burpees. They are just starting to fruit now. These tomatoes are going to be HUGE. Once again I have no reference point to give to you but the tomato on the right which is maybe halfway to being ripe, is larger then any tomato I have gotten rip. I fully expect to get some 2lb tomatoes off of this type of plant.


Some Bell Peppers here. I believe these will eventually be orange.....


The Jalapeños are getting big. This was taken last Wed, and these two peppers are prolly 25% bigger then this.

I am going to get out there and take some pictures tonite for updates, things are getting really interesting.
