			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Heirloom tomato is an old favorite with Cherokee Purple and Brandywine being amongst the most popular of these. They are well known for their flavour and are great for the home gardener. The reason they are not generally available commercially is because of the need for robustness during transportation and the supermarkets need for a long shelf life. Consequently they are maintained primarily due to the enthusiasm of the home gardeners who cultivate them from seed for their own purposes.</p>
<p>There are a few other options available to the home gardener and the list below represents a few of the popular ones: -</p>
<p style="border: 2px solid #ffffff; padding: 16px;">Alicante &#8211; good quality tomato generally with good disease resistance<br />
Big Boy &#8211; very large fruit with an excellent texture, great for sandwiches<br />
Eurocross A &#8211; a bit like Moneymaker but more vigorous and produces more fruit<br />
Growers Pride (F1) &#8211; Great for the beginner, fruits early and useful for most things<br />
Mandel (F1) &#8211; Good for disease resistance, dark red colour and can be used for a variety of things<br />
Odine (F1) &#8211; Great for a small greenhouse with many uses<br />
Tigerella &#8211; Yellow striped fruit, lots of flavour and is available early in the season<br />
Vibelco &#8211; very disease resistant<br />
Yellow Perfection &#8211; Lovely yellow fruit with great flavour and high quality fruit</p>
<p><span id="more-82"></span></p>
<p>Obviously you need to take into account where you are in the world when selecting a tomato plant but you should be able to find something to suit from this list and can be reasonably confident you will have a good crop of tomatoes that you will enjoy.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you are interested in growing tomatoes from seed then you can find out the technique for separating the seeds from the fruit and preparing them for cultivation in the following video. The video describes the process in a clear and easy way that most anyone will be able to follow.</p>
<div align="center"><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="425" height="344" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/tyUcOEZBP_s&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="344" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/tyUcOEZBP_s&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></div>
<p>Heirloom tomato varieties are very popular for their full flavour and taste. Although the video does not use heirloom tomatoes the technique is pretty much the same for all tomato types. If you want to find out how to cultivate the seeds and turn them into plants you can find out how to <a href="http://myhomegrowntomatoes.com/growing-tomatoes-from-seed/">grow tomatoes from seed</a> by clicking on the link.</p>
<p><span id="more-63"></span></p>
<p>Of course I should mention that you cannot grow tomatoes with seeds taken from the Hybrid varieties. They have for the most part been specially produced for commercial use and you cannot take the seeds from these varieties and cultivate them, just doesn&#8217;t work. So stick to the varieties that mother nature concocted for us and you will be fine.</p>
