Heirloom Tomatoes- Name Game


Would you like a pink ping pong tomato plant? One of the things I love about heirloom tomatoes is their names. Another great one, "Banana Legs". I want these why?...because of their names alone!

Beef has alot to do with naming tomatoes even though tomatoes still are vegetables when I last checked:
Beefmaster
Supersteak
Park's Beefy Boy
Park's Whopper

Then there is the plum connection:
Black Plum
Beaverlodge Plum
Lemon Plum

The empty sections-- already sold out heirloom tomatoes:
Great White
Hillybilly

It's amusing shopping for tomatoes. Most people were very serious bent over looking at the plants and names and I was laughing outloud. Who could think it would be so fun buying tomatoes?
