German Orange Strawberry (sliced)

This is a pic of the super tasting German Orange Strawberry.  It has very few seeds (as you can see) and tastes slightly sweet.  I canned this tomato last year.  I just opened a jar about two days ago.  The flavor tasted just as good, if not better, than fresh off the vine!!  YUM YUM!!

I unfortunately only saved just enough seeds to plant.  Next year I will definitely have emough seeds to sell AND plant.

If you are interested in purchasing this, or any other variety of heirloom tomato, please visit my etsy shop.  Just search for AnnsGreenGarden (no spaces).  Thanks for looking!!!

Indigo Apple Tomato (sliced)

Yes, this tomato tastes as good as it looks!  I took this pic last year right before I roasted them in the oven.  The tomato is very meaty, and has a slight sweet/tart taste.  I canned them after I roasted them.  The canned ones tasted better than the fresh ones!!!

You can purchase the seeds on my Etsy shop.  40 seeds for $3.50.  Copy and paste this link in your browser ... https://www.etsy.com/listing/178385979/indigo-apple-heirloom-tomato-seeds?

Heirloom Tomato Salsa

OMG!  I made this DELICIOUS salsa last year as an experiment.  It was  SO TASTY!!!  I just came across this photo yesterday.  I forgot I took it.  I actually canned salsa last year.  I made two kinds - the chunky one you see in this pic, and also a roasted and blended one.  Both included onion, cilantro, jalapeno and habanero peppers.  Jalapeno for taste, habanero for heat. 

I will be selling the canned salsa later this year in my Etsy shop.  Yay!!!

Last year was my year first growing Indigo Apple.  I purchased what I thought were Blue Berry Blend seeds from Baker Creek.  Imagine my surprise when the tomatoes started getting as big as this!  (BBB is a cherry tomato, LOL!)

Indigo Apple is a very meaty and flavorful tomato.  It was a Lovely surprise!!  Will be a permanent part of my ever growing tomato garden!!
