Even towards the end of the season, they were still more than one pound. This giant sized fruit bears on plants that are tall and lanky. They are meaty, balanced, sweet, and juicy. Plants ripen their fruits about 95 days after transplant. Stake well and often with regular revisions. These are perfect for sandwiches, sauces, market sales, cooking, and even salsa.

Pepe Jose Tomato
Pepe Jose tomato is a rare, large variety that caught me by surprise this year! In 2020 I had many of these that reached 2 pounds and more!

Penstemon digitalis
Penstemon digitalis is one of my favorite wild flowers in the whole world. About 18 years ago(2002) I was slowly driving along the country roads in Mitchell Indiana, when I suddenly noticed this beautiful flower. It was early season, perhaps June, and I couldn't harvest any seeds. About 4 years later these showed up in one of my internet searches. I purchased some seeds and have been growing them since 2007. A very beautiful flower, this is one of the hardiest plants I know of. It will come back year after year, while increasing in the size of its cluster. It also reseeds but not overwhelmingly so. Soft bell shaped, white/pink flower will emerge in early to mid summer. Attracts butterflies, humming birds, bees, pollinators and more! Your flower garden will light up with these, so get ready! About 3 feet tall. Zone 3-8. -

Orange Hat micro dwarf tomato is very similar to Pinocchio Yellow, in taste, size and color. They are different as far as growing habit and production time.

Plants are about 6-8 inches depending on your light source. This tomato is a fruit in the true sense. Perfect for snacking and salads.
