Donna Martz –
One of our favorite tomatoes, we have been growing it for years. It is a huge producer and very indeterminate; it never stops growing and setting tresses of little tomatoes. You need a trellis at least 6′ tall unless you want to top it. Juliet is unbothered by cool weather, or anything else in our zone 8b Seattle climate. And the tomatoes can store for months.

I grew this tomato for the first time this year and I was so impressed. It yielded so many tomatoes. More than I could use from just one plant. It grew out of my 6 foot tall cages I built and started growing over the fence, so don’t feel bad pruning the suckers. I thought it was a great size and made it very versatile. It was great in pasta, chili, salads, tomato soup, and pico de gallo. I’m planning to grow it again.
