TOMATOES
6) Slicing tomatoes
Slicing tomatoes, or globe tomatoes, are very similar to beefsteak tomatoes, and there is some overlap with certain varieties classified as both slicers and beefsteaks. I find slicing tomatoes are a bit smaller than beefsteak varieties and have a rounded shape.
Galahad (69 days) – Award-winning Galahad is both a beefsteak and slicing tomato with the determinate plants producing a heavy yield of 7 to 12 oz, deep red fruits. Expect high disease resistance, early maturity, and mouthwatering flavor.
Defiant (65 days) – I first planted Defiant because of its excellent resistance to many common tomato diseases. I continue to grow it each summer because the fruits are so delicious! This bush variety yields plenty of 6 to 8 oz, smooth, medium-sized, dark red tomatoes from mid-summer until frost.
Moskvich (60 days) – This vigorous heirloom variety is ideal in short season climates as it ripens so early. The indeterminate plants of Moskvich grow 6 feet tall and yield a good crop of 4 to 6 oz globe-shaped fruits.
Celebrity (70 days) – Gardeners have been growing this popular variety for decades because Celebrity offers high yields, good disease resistance, and a bumper crop of flavorful 7 oz fruits.
Early Girl (57 days) – The fruits of Early Girl are among the earliest slicers to ripen and this is a great choice for northern gardeners. The compact plants are perfect for pots as well as raised beds and offer decent disease resistance.
