Many
vegetable plant varieties are grown at Spider Web. The ever popular tomatoes
are divided into four groups; small 1-3oz, medium 4-8oz, large 8-11oz and very
large 12oz and over. The small tomatoes include the Supersweet 100, which is
a red cherry; the Sungold, a fruity orange cherry; Sweet Olive, a red grape;
Tiny Tim, an heirloom, and the Roma, which is ideal for paste or puree. Mediums
are Jetstar, low acid; Lemon Boy that is a true yellow color; Early Girl, one
of the earliest producers; Marglobe a great heirloom that is crack resistant
and Celebrity, a nice slicing tomato. Some larger varieties are the Jetsetter,
very tasty; Brandywine, a deep pink heirloom; and Caspian Pink, pink fruit with
a nice flavor. For very large tomatoes we grow the Big Boy, a classic; the Better
Boy, very meaty and the Beefmaster, a beefsteak type.Peppers come in three varieties. The Sweet Bells; Ace, great for Northern gardens, Bell Boy, heavy yielding, and Purple Beauty, which adds color to any dish. The Sweet Peppers include the Cubanelle, an heirloom with delicious pungent flavor, and the Sweet Banana, a yellow tapered fryer. The hot peppers are Jalapeño and the Large Red Cherry, both very hot, the Cherry Bomb, not as hot as the Jalapeño, and the Senorita, the mildest of the hot peppers.
Cucumbers include vines and bush types. The Diva is a high yield, tasty, vine cuke. Some bush types are the Fanfare, good for small gardens as is the Spacemaster. We also sell the varieties Homemade Pickles and Slicemaster Select.
