I love tomatoes, both fresh and canned. For the winter I harvest them - salt and marina in jars. Not all varieties of tomatoes are suitable for this. Vegetables should be strong, resilient, so as not to fall apart during whole-harvesting.
My favorite varieties are Rio Grande, Red Guards, French Grapevine, Korean Long Fruit, Bendrick's Cream Yellow. I will tell you about each of them in detail.
Rio grande
I have grown and salted this variety for over 10 years. It is well suited for outdoor use. It ripens 110 days after germination. The fruits are red, their shape resembles plums, the average size is 100-150 g. The skin is strong, resistant to cracking. Plants yield crops before frost.
If you store them correctly, then for the New Year you can get delicious fruits ripened for the festive dinner. They must be kept in a box, the bottom of which is lined with coniferous sawdust, peat or sphagnum.
Green fruits, rubbed with vodka and laid in a layer, are covered with sawdust. This way you can save 3 layers of tomatoes. The variety is perfect for pickling, pickling.
Red Guard
Plant growth is limited, i.e. determinant. The variety is mid-early. The fruits have an elongated even shape, the color is saturated red, there is no green spot near the stem.
The pulp is fleshy and juicy, the taste is sweetish. The average fruit weight is 70-100 g. The fruits ripen in concert, the plants are fruitful. For salting - my favorite variety, because the skin does not burst during canning.
French bunch
I discovered this mid-early variety quite recently. Plants are tall, give a large crop. The fruits are elongated, weighing about 100 g. Tomatoes do not crack. They have a very bright taste both fresh and canned.
Korean long-fruited
The largest variety for canning. Plant growth is not limited, it can have a height of 1.5-1.8 m. The yield is high. The weight of pepper-shaped tomatoes is about 300 g.
Pink-red fruits have a lot of pulp and almost no seeds. They bear fruit for a long time. Sweet, delicious. Not susceptible to cracking. Look beautiful in blanks.
Yellow bendrick cream
Ukrainian variety, created by an amateur plant grower from the city of Gorodnya. Differs in high productivity. It has a limited ability to grow.
Suitable for growing in greenhouses and open ground. Fruits of cylindrical shape with blunt ends. Light weight - 60-70 g. Tomatoes are yellow in color, sweet in taste.
