Round Red Tomato Plants for 2023, Part I

Updated: Jan 2

Our most popular type is the round red tomato. As always, we have a number of different varieties of this sort.


Carmello is a French market tomato that is consistently popular due to it's balanced flavor and crack resistance. The tomatoes are about 10 oz. This one was a request from a few years ago and we continue to grow it. Picture from Territorial Seeds.

Cosmonaut Volkov is actually an heirloom Ukrainian variety. It was given it's current name after a crew of cosmonauts perished upon re-entry in 1971. One of them, Vladislav Volkov, was a friend and co-worker of an engineer who named the variety in his honor. It's a tasty, 8 - 12 oz tomato that tolerates cooler weather better than most. Picture from Heritage Harvest Seeds.
