There are numerous tomato varieties accessible to home gardeners today, making it quite challenging to choose just a few dozen. In this post, I will share the varieties I am cultivating from seed this year. Below, you’ll find descriptions of each tomato along with helpful growing tips.
Tomato Seeds 2025
Below is my list of tomato seeds that were started indoors on heat mats on March 3, 2025. This timing is ten weeks ahead of my last frost date in hardiness zone 5b/6. The general recommendation is to start tomatoes eight weeks before the last frost, so these will be grown in the dome greenhouse while we await the all-clear. I’m hopeful that this year will mirror last year’s, bringing us warm temperatures in early May.
- Supersauce Hybrid Tomato
- San Marzano Tomato
- Daytona Tomato
- Crimson Corralito Tomato
- Gold Medal Tomato
- Delicious Tomato
- Zenzei F1 Tomato
- Purple Russian Tomato
- Sweet Zen Tomato
- Gum Drop Black Tomato
- Sugar Sweetie Tomato
- Purple Zebra F1
- Super Verde Tomato
A few of these varieties I have grown in the past so I am excited to enjoy the harvest again. Many are new to me so it will be fun to see how they grow and produce. My goal this year is to have enough varieties to preserve by canning and also to grow in containers that can be enjoyed through the Autumn.
Tomato Sowing From Seed Tips
The number one thing to be sure when growing tomatoes is that you pay attention to the last frost date. Tomato plants do not like cold in any shape or form! It is common for me to plant my tomato starters out in the garden well after May 15 which is our last frost date. After starting these beautiful plants from seed they are like babies to me!
Do not let the tomato plants go dry for too long. The tomato plants before they have 3 leaves can be very sensitive to being too dry. It is also important to not let the baby plant sit in water because the roots to not like to be too wet. Overall, don’t panic because the seeds are some what cheap and easy to grow so you can’t go wrong.

Found an interesting article by a master gardener in California about the Crimson Carmello Tomato I have sown this season. https://ucanr.edu/blogs/blogcore/postdetail.cfm?postnum=56779
” I was attracted to the Crimson Carmello, since it was described as highly resistant to fungal disease (except Botrytis), and I wanted to determine how well it does when planted directly in my veggie bed that hasn’t had veggies in it that are in the Solanaceae family for two years in a row. The photo shows how well it’s doing, despite possibly some lingering Fusarium and Verticillium fungus in my native soil. I planted the other varietals in a metal livestock trough filled with organic potting soil, and they did fine also, although their yield was a bit disappointing.”
Nice selection ,each year I’ve been trying to hold back and start my tomatoes later and later, and I noticed a big change the last two years that I didn’t have any aphids attack them early in late spring when they were young , I seem to have missed The aphids the last couple of years unless it’s just coincidence, but I will be starting soon .
It is important to read the package of each tomato variety. Most varieties for home gardeners should be started no sooner than 8 week from last frost date. Many of the new varieties have a 65-70 days to mature so depending on your last frost date you could start sowing tomato seeds well into Spring. Thanks for commenting – I hope you share more with me about what you grow in your garden.
