If you dream of tomatoes that don’t crack from rain, don’t turn black on the bush, and provide a satisfying harvest even in cool summers, pay attention to these proven varieties. They grow well in open ground, do not require a greenhouse and produce a stable harvest from July until frost without chemicals or frequent fertilizing.
1. De Barao
Medium late, but a real champion in terms of yield and keeping quality. The fruits are elongated, dense, weighing 60–80 g, with a rich taste and thin skin. Ideal for whole pickling, sauces and lecho. Productivity is up to 8–10 kg per bush. Resistant to late blight, verticillium and temperature changes. Fruits until October.
2. Honey cream
An early ripening variety with mini-fruits, but incredibly sweet. It grows well in open ground and is not afraid of cool weather. The fruits are dense, do not wrinkle during transportation, and are excellent in fresh salads and homemade preparations. Productivity is up to 6–7 kg per plant. Rarely gets sick, almost never requires grooming.
3. Bull's heart classic
Mid-season, but loved for its fleshy pulp and rich taste. The fruits are large (200–400 g), low in seeds, ideal for stuffing, baking and sauces. Yields up to 7–9 kg per bush even on poor soils. It tolerates short-term drought well and is not prone to cracking with moderate watering.
These varieties do not require complex care, are resistant to major diseases and grow well even in an ordinary garden bed without shelter. Simply plant the seedlings, water every 3-4 days and harvest in waves. While the neighbors will complain about late blight or watery fruits, you will already be rolling up the fifteenth can of thick tomato juice and enjoying aromatic salads until late autumn.
