Lime Green Salad


 
 
 
 
 

Name
Lime Green Salad

Seed Source:
Tomatofest

 
Variety
Heirloom tomato . Semi-determinate
The plant gets about 2 feet high, with regular, dark, blue/green leaves.

Season
58 days,  early-season

Descripion
This is a "green when ripe"-tomato.
Small plants that produce abundant sprays of round, lime-green tomatoes that ripen further to an amber color. Great for growing in containers since plants stay small yet provide a big harvest. Fruits are 3 to 5 oz., chartreuse inside, full of juice and a luscious, tangy flavor.

My own review
This is one of my favourites so far this season! A green, juicy tomato full of flavour! A good tomato to brighten up your dinner plate! Use it to add extra colors into the salad!
My first ripe tomato after about 50 days.
I truly recommend growing this tomato!

Thai Pink Egg tomato

 
Name
"Thai Pink Egg".
(AKA "Eggs from Phuket")

Seed Source:
 Seeds brought from Thailand

Variety
Semi-determinate (Heirloom)
The plant gets about 3-4 feet high, with regular leaves
Best grown in greenhouse in cooler regions.
Resists cracking even in heavy rain!

Season
74 days, mid-season

Color/shape
Pink, egg shaped tomatoes. A pretty lookin' tomato!

Usage
Cooking, sauces, stir fry
In Thailand they grow their tomatoes in the Northern part of the country, because of the cooler climate. In The South the climate is way too hot!
The tomato is mostly used in stir fries. The fruits are quite popular in Thailand, particularly for their pleasant appearance.

 

My own review
This variety produces loads of tomatoes all season. The taste medium sweet, and have a good tomato flavour. I love using this tomato in stir fry cooking,  but it is also good for making sauce.
I brought my seeds all the way from Thailand to Norway!

 
 


 
 The tomato is named after its shape and color. It looks like an egg!


 
 




The tomatoes first turn white before ripening, to lovely, pink tomato eggs :-)
