Poe Run Favorites
Amish Paste (plentiful, hearty, most prolific, easy to grow), German Pink (less seeds), Tommy Toe (versatile large cherry), Principe Borghese (versatile grape, excellent for drying and canning), Rutgers and Bonnie Best (excellent for canning), Jersey Devil (meaty, dry, best for peeling and canning).

Virginia Tomato
Roma VF Virginia Select
Most Versatile
Amish Paste, Principe Borghese
Bush Type
They don’t grow as tall, and don’t require pruning, but staking them keeps branches and fruit off the ground: Roma VF, Rutgers, Principe Borghese
Four snacker tomatoes to choose from: cherry, pear, or grape shape. Keep young ones interested in colorful food. Grab and go is best with a snacker, they’re small, and the plants grow tons of fruits. These snackers are chosen for their superior flavor, sweet but not too sweet, full flavor that’s not too much like a traditional tomato.
Yellow Pear (sweet)
Tommy Toe (classic flavor, large round cherry, also good for sauce or roasting)
Vernisage Art Colors (each plant makes either medium striped fruits in yellow, red, brown, or green)
Principe Borghese (determinate bush, grape shape), one of our most all around versatile tomatoes in flavor and use for sauce and canning
*Determinate plants are bush shape, no pruning required. All tomato plants will make fruit when grown in a pot! The bigger the pot the bigger your plant. Indeterminate tomato plants will grow into long vines 6-8 feet in length. Pruning and staking helps support the plant and grow healthy tomatoes.
