If you like delicious red tomatoes, then Sugar Bison tomato is one for you to consider. Each year I keep a mental and written record of tomatoes that I've really enjoyed. For Sugar Bison, I never had to consult my written record because it was outstanding in my mind. 10-16 ounce beefsteaks are perfectly balanced, with good old time tomato flavors. this one fits perfectly on a tomato sandwich. Vines are taller and hardy. They produce a nice amount of fruits that begin to ripen around 82 days after transplant. A good market/main crop variety. I recommend this one!

I received some Egg Yolk tomato seeds in a seed swap in 2018. Truthfully, I only grew them out because I had some extra space. It turned out to be a great decision! Tall vines produced sweetish, juicy and flavorful cherries and were very prolific all season long. I especially liked that they were crack-free. This is absolutely a snacking and salad tomato, that may work well as a main crop variety for market sales etc. May I also suggest slicing some and dehydrating them, so yummy! There is also potential here for container growing, but some staking will be necessary. Egg Yolk is also early ripening, coming in at 70 days after transplant. Definitely worth growing!

Harvest a bunch and make yourself some to the best purple sauce! Boars tooth is a Brad Gates tomato that, to me, is very interesting. This, 3-4 inch, elongated tomato is rich, sweeter and meaty. Vines are about 6 feet tall, have wispy leaves and are a bit late to ripen. Ours started to ripen about 85-90 days after transplant. This tomato was made for sauce and paste. Try cutting some lengthways down the middle and place them in your dehydrator. High, High flavor!

70 Days. Purple Russian tomato is a variety that I have grown for the last 15 years and still do for my personal use. Delicious 2 inch elongated fruits, are purplish brown and have a delicious smokey flavor. Vines are wispy leaved and perhaps 4 feet tall. They produce until frost! You can expect your first ripened fruits around 70 days after transplant. Really good salsa tomato. Perfect for drying, sauce and slicing in salads too!

Out of stockRed Brandywine is a winner for almost everyone who has ever grown or tasted it. It's one of the most popular beefsteak tomatoes in the history of heirloom tomatoes. 5 to 6 ft tall sprawling vines produce huge crops of intense red tomatoes that can reach 1.5 pounds. Most of ours have been between 1 and 1.5 pounds. Potato leaf plants begin to ripen their fruits about 85 to 90 days after transplant. They continue to produce all the way until frost. These are among the most balanced flavored tomatoes that you can possibly find and work well in may instances for example: sandwiches, sauces, salsa, etc. An absolute winner in the farmers market.

Out of stockBig, hefty beefsteaks are what you will get when you grow out Holy Land Tomato. Our plants were tall and loaded with 1-2 lb tomatoes that kept coming until cooler weather. Fruits began to ripen about 85 days after transplant. I just had to eat the very first ripened fruit. It was sweet, meaty, flavorful and satisfying. I also love that these have good, old time flavor. Holy Land is the perfect compliment to two slices of bread, some mayo, lettuce, good cheese, salt and pepper. If you can't locate any of those things, simply eat it right off the vine, it's super delicious that way.

Bugai Rozovyi Tomato
Bugai Rozovy tomato is the perfect companion for sandwiches. A large pink variety, this dense beefsteak is a balanced and very good tomato! Weighing about 12-20 ounces, it will impress you. We grew ours in full sun and they were very meaty, on the sweet side, smooth and delicious. They also tend to ripen pretty early for larger sized tomatoes. Our vines were about 6-7 feet tall and fruits began to ripen about 80-85 days after transplant. It reminds me of Pink Brandywine but a little denser and a bit sweeter. It's already on our grow list for 2018. We just had to grow them gain! -
75 Days. Blushing Bride is a yellow and red bi-color slicing tomato that is a pleaser in every way.

KARMA Purple Tomato
If you are seeking a purple, larger cherry variety with superb taste, try KARMA Purple Tomato. With this one you will find superb taste, good production, hardy plants that are early producing and also good for northern gardens. There is truly no downside to KARMA purple. Breeder Karen Olivier of Canada and Marsha Eisenberg of Florida collaborated on this and others in the KARMA series. Purple is rich, juicy and sweet with nice aroma when fully ripened. Its slightly different from it's sister, KARMA Purple Multiflora, which produces slightly smaller and earlier fruits that are just as good. All in the series are potato leafed.

Reinhard Kraft's Chocolate Heart Tomato
The most beautiful chocolate oxhearts that you will ever see! Full flavored, intense taste and so beautiful! When you grow Reinhard Kraft's Chocolate Heart tomato you will immediately put it on your annual list. I couldn't eat many of these because 4 of my 6 plants died in the floods after 21 days of non-stop rain. I saved all of the seeds I could from most of the remaining fruits and only ate three smaller fruits. They were so good that I am growing many more plants next year for seeds, market and personal use. Intensely colored brown fruits are meaty, wonderfully textured and aromatic. Great choice for almost anything, but you must eat a few right off of the vine. Plants produce plenty! Great disease resistance! Recommended! -
Barby Tomato
Another new and rare determinate variety here in 2019, Barby tomato is perhaps my favorite of them all. Short plants produce big crops of deep red, blemish-free and flavorful fruits. These are perfect little slicers too. Along with Birch, these two produced a bunch of early and tasty fruits. I especially love Barby because it showed no signs of diseases and held up very well, even in a tough season. Perfect for cooking, juicing, snacking, canning, stews and more. Good choice for early market tomatoes. I also suspect that they will perform admirably in containers of perhaps 4 gallons and larger. Try these you will like them. -
Dwarf Saucy Mary tomato is a really unique, tasty and pretty tomato that I recommend for anyone growing dwarf varieties. If your aim is to make some tasty, green tomato sauce, give it a try. Elongated, green and yellow, bi-colored fruits measure about two inches long. They are born on determinate plants. Prolific plants are tree-like and grow to about 2.5 feet tall. Fruits begin to ripen about 75 days after transplant. Sweetish, not too juicy and medium mild, these have nice flavor and would definitely perk up your dish. Also nice for garnishing, pickling, canning, cooking and more. Good for container growing too!

Some people say that Carbon tomato is perhaps the best black tomato there is. I say, it's pretty close. Certainly, it's one to be reckoned with! It's not often that I am blown away by the taste of a tomato. Carbon had that effect on me. Before I forget, let me say that some of the best sandwiches that I have had were with these. Carbon is a full flavored tomato that is rich, balanced and excessively good. Our plants were about 5 feet tall in full sunlight. They produced plenty 8-12 ounce fruits that are delightful. A MUST GROW for any garden!

When sliced, there is also a beautiful marbling of green and pinks. Taste is rich, sweeter and juicy. Will do excellently in bigger containers! Stake them well!

Aji Limon Pepper
Here is a pepper that you can use for so many things. It has a very fruity flavor and good heat but not overwhelming. Aji Limon is possibly the most prolific variety that I have ever grown. It's so productive that I actually made gallons of hot, seasoning sauce with just a few plants. These should do great in containers, where they may not do do well as in-the-ground, but because they are so prolific, there'll still be plenty to go around. Thin skinned, great for flakes, powder, cooking, fresh salsa and tons more. Medium heat. A favorite of mine. -
Dwarf Jackass Yellow Tomato
Dwarf Jackass Yellow tomato turned out to be one of my favorites in 2020. Very clean, shiny, deep yellow fruits are truly a sight to behold when fully ripened. These remind me of Dwarf Egypt Yellow in size and shape, but taste is totally different. Jackass Yellow is sweeter and has a fruity after-taste that I like. This is a really good slicing tomato that will leave you wanting more. Plants are about 3 feet tall and produce prolifically. 75 days to first ripened fruits. If you would like good production in a smaller garden, try Dwarf Jackass Yellow tomato. For ground or container growing! -
Out of stockI was a true pleasure growing Large Red Antigua pepper this year. After saving seeds we had lots of fruits left to try several things with. So we dried some, cooked with some, ate some in salads and even enjoyed many by themselves, right in the garden. In every instance, this pepper performed remarkably. What's more, ours came in early and produced all the way until frost. By far, it was one of the most prolific, sweet varieties that we have grown in many years. Try making some flakes with these, you'll love them sprinkled on your foods. Very hardy plants, even in extremely hot and weather weather. Nice choice for sweet pepper lovers.

My 80 year old mother, a lifelong pepperholic spent the 2021 summer with me. We made lots of hot-sauce dried a lot of peppers for flakes and powder. Most of all, we used a lot of fresh hot peppers in our daily culinary adventures. Chocolate Habanero pepper has and still is her favorite pepper for cooking and sauces. In fact, I still had some crushed flakes from her visit 3 years ago. Upon her arrival, she immediately used it up and prompted me to make fresh batches. I especially love this variety for sauces. Use them alone for some dark colored feisty sauce or mix them with other varieties for interesting complex heat. It's hot, so watch out if your pepper tolerance is low. In my family we chop these up into small pieces and have at least one piece with each spoon-full of food. The greatest fire in the world. Heavy producing 3 feet tall plants!

Dwarf Goldfinch Tomato
Mildly sweet, full flavored and delicious with nice undertones, is how I would describe Dwarf Goldfinch tomato. Big, canary yellow fruits, can weigh ten to twelve ounces, but ours averaged around 8-10. Our plants grew to three feet tall and produced a very nice crop which began to ripen about 78 days after transplant. Disease resistance was great for us and we harvested until season's end. These need to be staked early because of the quantity and size of fruits. Works excellently in smaller gardens or larger containers (5 gallons or larger). If you have never grown dwarf varieties before this variety would be a great way to start. Really nice taste on these! -
Blue Chocolate tomato is a smaller slicing variety that is not only pretty, but has a good flavor. Its sweeter but bold with lots of juice. There are also hints of old time flavor but not strong. It's not a mild tomato so you will have plenty of pop! Another member of the anthocyanin family, Blue Chocolate vines are prolific and tall. Ours grow to about 7-8 feet and were loaded with chocolate colored fruits with darker tops. This is a great tomato for snacking in the garden, garnishing, salsa, drying for powder and salads when sliced. Try some, you'll like them!

Giant Australian Beefsteak Tomato
Another huge beefsteak that will suck you in. If you like them large, Giant Australian Beefsteak tomato has your back! This is a very determined and hard working variety that I feel everyone should grow. Great for first-time growers wanting to grow huge tomatoes. Vines are vibrant, sprawling and thick. Some bottom pruning may be needed. Fruits are meaty, balanced and delicious. Great sauce and sandwich tomato! -
Bright Lights Cosmos
Big patches of various shades of yellows and tons of butterflies are what you will get when you grow Bright Lights Cosmos in your flower garden. These very attractive flowers grow on plants that can reach 4 feet tall and will reseed if not too heavily mulched. Humming birds love them too. Expect blooms from early June. Very colorful and really easy to grow. Start indoors about 4 weeks before last frost, or directly in your garden when the weather is consistently warm enough to do so. Happy gardening! -
Silver Fir Tree is a dwarf Russian variety. Pants are perhaps 2.5 feet tall and productive. They bear lots of 3 inch round, red tomatoes that are mild and juicy. This is an extremely early variety. Ours usually ripen around 65 days after transplant. Great variety for growing in containers. Staking is needed!

70 Days. Dwarf Jade Beauty tomato has a special place in my heart. When these started ripening on the farm in 2017 and I tasted them, I realized that I should have had more plants. Eventually I made my peace with that. One day, I was looking at my garden map and realized we accidentally planted 3 more plants elsewhere in the garden. Bingo! We now have enough seeds to share. Try these very good green tomatoes that grow 3 foot plants. You will love them!
