Heirloom Tomatoes

Today was a very happy day. The reason was, This morning I had been to Dept Of Hort(DOH) to collect the seed packets. I am now Tomato Rich!!!.. I have all the heirloom varieties that are available in DOH. I think i am a seed-a-holic.

There are close to 20 varieties and all of them are attractive in their own way. I think I am going to have a tough time deciding which one to sow first. I sort of like’em all.

When I saw the list in DOH, there was no illustration on each variety. As a reason, I am writing this post to illustrate with pictures each variety.

Note: I made sure that I dont violate any copyright rules for the images mentioned above. But I could have missed something(you know its past midnight and i am very drowsy ;) ..). I might take few images off in case of any copyright issues.Till then Enjoy!!!.. Also there are some cultivars for which I couldn’t get the image. If any of you have that please let me know.

Thanks to Chandrakala of DOH for patiently packing all the varieties and thanks to google for fetching me images ;D

more later.
