I think I’m going to try drying some of those Juliets in the dehydrator.

i grew entirely too many of the juliets, thinking they were going to be a little bigger. they are pretty tasty but the only thing i can think to do with them is use them for salads and to make salsa, they chop pretty well. i’m looking forward to trying better girl next year, i’m looking for varieties to use for canning spaghetti sauce!

Yes, I grew Rutgers back in the 70′s. It was developed in 1934 in co-operation with Campbell’s Soup. It is still one of the best tomatoes out there and is now considered an heirloom variety.

Seems to me old Aunt Gwen always grew Rutger’s. She swore by Rutger’s. There are so many kinds of tomatoes out there, it’s so hard to decide.
Last year, quite by accident, I grew some little yellow pear shaped tomatoes that were quite tasty. They add a nice bit of color to a dish, too.
