Tomato -‘Pruden’s Purple’
PRUDENS PURPLE : A personal favourite! If I had to choose one tomato this would be it, grown here for many seasons, it never disappoints. It’s not purple, but rather a deep red-pink, solid meat beefsteak type with exceptional taste!
tomato – ‘Opalka’ Heirloom Paste
They are meaty with few seeds, and unlike most common paste tomatoes, 'Opalka' actually has a good flavour, making sauces and pastes even better. Expect copious yields of 3x5" massive solid bull’s horn–shaped red fruits with dry texture and few seeds. Also dries well. While some tomatoes falter during hot dry spells, Opalka produces consistently.This heirloom tomato is amazing to behold and difficult to find. If you grow tomatoes for paste, this is the one to grow. Polish heirloom brought by the Opalka family to Amsterdam, NY, around 1900. A shy seed producer, it consistently gets dropped for that reason by commercial enterprises, so we’re happy to be able to offer it!
