The votes are in! 2021 will mark the 2nd Annual Dallas Tomato Trials, a crowd-sourced test of heirloom tomato variety performance in North Texas. It also marks the first year that variety selection was made open to public voting. Many thanks to all those who participated in the voting process!
All varieties will be made available for purchase as seedlings in March. I have also decided to make the 2020 winners available as seedlings as well. (Pre-order for all seedlings will begin in December. To be notified when pre-order starts, make sure you are subscribed.) To participate in the trials, you can purchase seedlings, or you can start your own seeds. Registration for trial participation will begin in January, but I strongly recommend purchasing seeds now to avoid sell-outs. All varieties below are available at TomatoFest.com.
