Berkley Tie Dye Tomato

    

     Tonight we feature another of our favorite tomatoes: Berkley Tie Dye.  This one we discovered this year through one of the members at Seed Savers.  The green fruits have been up to one pound each, but average between 8-12 ounces.


     The tangy sweet flavor of this tomato alone makes it stand out enough to be one we'll grow year after year.  But it's flavor is not even as intoxicating as the color variations across the tomato as it ripens.  When immature, they are a solid green, but as they ripen they begin to get light yellow streaks followed by red splotching.  It truly lives up to the tie dye name!  What a beautiful tomato.
