It is sweeter, rich and fleshy with intense earthy flavors. potato leaf vines stand up to any weather! Chocolate, par shaped fruits ripen about 75 days after transplant! Plant a few!!

Even though these prefer cooler temperatures, they perform very well over most regions in the USA. Long Island Brussels Sprouts is more of a compact variety that will yield between 50 and 100 sprouts over the season. These tiny cabbage-like sprouts are great for roasting, pickling or situation where you would normally use greens. Very versatile! Sweeter taste when harvested later in the season, but can be harvested at any time, even before full maturity. Easy to grow!!

Ananas Zebra Tomato
Ananas Zebra tomato is a delicious variety. 6-10 ounce fruits are beautifully bi-colored inside and out. Our plants were prolific and showed nice disease resistance. We noticed our first ripened fruits around day 75 from transplant. They continued producing heavily throughout the season. These would be great as market tomatoes because the have nice flavor and texture and would hold up for market. Perfect choice for fresh salsa, garnish, cooking, slicing and fresh eating. Staking early would assist in a successful crop! Another nice addition to any bi-colored tomato garden! -
I am so happy that I grew out Grandma Josie's Amish White tomato in 2018. Honestly, I had forgotten that I had a few plants on my grow list. Wished I had planted more! When the fruits began to ripen, I then took notice! Tall vines produced 1 pound, very pale yellow beefsteak fruits, that were desirable and tasty. If you like a balanced tomato that is not too loud, this would work well for you. Sweetish, minimal acidity, great texture and meaty is how I would describe Grandma Josie's Amish White! Recommended for any tomato garden. 90 Days!

Looking for a unique and rare tomato with plenty appeal? Reinhard Kraft's Green Heart tomato could be the one. As far as I know, it's only one of a few green oxheart beefsteaks. This gem is all meat and no bones. Very dense, 8-16 ounce oxhearts ripen green and just pop with flavor. A great place for anyone to start if they have never tasted a green when ripened tomato. True to the oxheart family, RKGH is flavorful and very tasty. This is a great choice for sandwiches, fresh eating, sauces, and more. They are a little bit late though. Our first ripened fruits came in around 85 days, but I promise you, the wait was well worth it! Recommended!

Out of stockBundaberg Rumball tomato is a beautiful little dwarf cherry that shouldn't be overlooked. I haven't heard much hype about it but I'm here to say, there should be! Short 3 foot plants produce plenty of greenish-brown tomatoes that are perfect for many applications. The one that first comes to my mind is salsa. They can also be as snacks and fresh eating right off the plant, canned when greener or almost ripened, and used for cooking. About 3 ft tall vines will produce early and a really good amount for the size of the plant. They will need some staking. If you're growing in containers, plant deep and feed in a timely manner.

75 Day. Dwarf Stone tomato is a deep red, rich and sweetish fruit that has a little tang and great balance. Prolific plants are no taller than 3 feet and have great disease resistance. These would even be around at the end of the season. Perfect little slicer, salad tomato. Good for salsas and sauces too!.

Out of stockAnyone who has ever grown Kosovo tomato knows how very useful it is. True to what oxhearts do, this very tasty variety is a keeper for me from now on. Let's first talk about its production, Kosovo is second to none! Our plants produced fruits that were 6-16 ounces but averaging about 8. Wispy, regular leafed vines were always loaded even as I picked every other day. Each time I visited my plants they seemed untouched and never picked from. As far as taste, these were very good. They were full flavored and tasty. I made some very good sauce with these. I also made stew, fried green tomatoes, sandwiches and ate quite a few in the garden. Wonderful experiences all around! In a nutshell, Kosovo tomato is a multi-use tomato that is second to none! Totally worth growing.

Gloriosa Daisy Seeds
While in my bank in 2005, there were free giveaways on the counter. I had the choice of taking a nice pen or a pack flower seeds. That was easy! I have grown them every year since then. Our Gloriosa Daisy seeds area mix of different shades from all yellow to dark brown. All are beautiful! images in our gallery are ones from out own yard. very beautiful. Gloriosa Dasies are bi-annuals so plants will only be around for two years. They re-seed yearly so you'll never have to plant them again. -
In mid-May, I planted Mortgage Lifter Bi-Color tomato in my garden and then forgot all about it. Around the first week of August, I noticed these beautiful, huge tomatoes on big vines and didn't know what they were. I looked at the tags and my garden map and verified that they were Mortgage Lifter Bi-Color. This is a very sweet tomato, even sweeter than Pineapple or Gold Medal. It has nicely textured flesh and pleasant aroma, when fully ripened. Our biggest fruits were about 1.5 pounds. Plants are not prolific but they produce plenty for such a large tomato. Perfect for sandwiches, garnish, cooking market sales and more!

If you are in search of a very delicious, red cherry tomato, Chisai Cherry tomato would be the one. I first grew this gem out in 2014 and didn't really know what I was about to experience. After accidentally breaking the vine almost down to the base, it bounce back a few weeks later and produced more tomatoes than any other cherry variety in my garden. Chisai Cherry has an old fashioned, full flavored taste. It's sweet and tangy too, with plenty juice. this is the perfect salad and snacking tomato. Delicious, early and prolific. Perfect for kids and great for containers too!

Summer Sunrise Dwarf Tomato
Summer Sunrise Dwarf tomato was one of my favorites of the 2017 growing season. It produced a lot of 6 to 12 ounce, canary yellow fruits with a pinkish blush at the bottom end. They were exceptionally delicious, especially when well ripened. 3.5 foot plants produced plenty fruits all the way until frost. If you love tomato sandwiches, Dummer Sunrise would work excellently. But that's not all. Sauces, salsa and more would love to have these! They are absolutely good fantastic when eaten right off the vine! These are perfect in containers 5 gallons or larger. Great for patio growing and do excellently in the ground too. Try em, you'll like them! 80 Days. See it on YouTube! OSSI Pledge -
Dwarf Noah Stripes tomato is a wonderful bi-colored fruit with rich complex flavor. This tomato reminds me of Girl Girl's Weird Thing tomato but on a dwarf plant. Our tree-like plants were no taller than 3.5 feet, had rugose leaves and they were very productive. Definitely one of the hardiest varieties that we grew in 2021. These will do good in larger containers of perhaps 4-5 gallons and with regular feeding and watering. Will have to be staked because of heavy production. Nice little slicer that's definitely worth growing!
-
Japanese Oxheart Tomato
The Japanese Oxheart tomato variety are large pink fruit with dense, mildly sweet meat. It is perfect for those not liking a strong tomato but want lots of flesh for their sandwiches. In our grow-outs, plants were bushier and sorter than most oxheart varieties. Ours barely made it to 5 feet tall. plants produced huge, beautiful and perfectly shaped hearts, that were between 1o ounces and 1.5 pounds. Because to it's density, fruits are usually heavier than they look. Few seeds very pleasing taste. Eye pleasing! I am definitely growing these again! Stake well and early. 88 Days to first ripened fruits! -
Dwarf Mister Snow tomato was the first yellow dwarf varieties that I tried. There s so much that I could say about this gem. It's sweet, juicy, fruity, has great texture and appeal. Beautiful canary yellow fruits can reach 1o ounces. I have grown these in 5 gallon buckets and also on the farm in the ground. All plants performed excellently. we usually harvest our first ripened ones about 85 days after transplant and continue harvesting for extended periods. Rugose leaf plants can grow as tall as 4 feet but they tree type and are not sprawling so they can easily be grown 2 feet apart in rows. try some of our freshly packed seeds in your next dwarf tomato garden. happy gardening!

Plisowany Różowy Tomato
If you are daring and would like to try a variety that's different, tasty, hardy and prolific, then Plisowany Różowy tomato is one for you. I acquired these from my polish friend who has sent me many new and rare varieties. This variety is a little different from many of the ruffled ones that we have grown because of it's texture and smooth eating flesh. It's shelf life isn't too long so they have to be put to use once harvested. Fruits are sweet and medium-mild, but with excellent overall finish. Certainly a garnish tomato that works well for sauces too! Cooking with these is a blast! Hardy plants, very good production until late season! -
Kansas Depression Tomato
Kansas Depression tomato is a fat beefsteak that is sweet, with a little zing and balanced. In 2016 I was gifted seeds by my friend Terry Tassone at Secret Seed Cartel. She really wanted me to try these. Potato leaf vines produce huge pink tomatoes that are just wonderful. Fruits averaged about 1.5 pounds. These delicious fruits are delicious and predominantly sweet. They are full of dense flesh, and in many ways have a taste that is unique just to this tomato. Terry grew hers out in France and found hers to be sweet also. She had very high praises for this one. Definitely a winner! Sandwiches need these! Thanks, Terry!

Tar Tops tomato is a member of the anthocyanin family. It was one of the most complimented tomatoes on the farm this year by visitors. Everyone who tasted it, had great things to say about it. Tar Tops has smooth flesh, is definitely fruity and juicy with good tomato balance. I am definitely growing this again. Its vines are tall and work hard to complete their jobs. No diseases were recorded for this one. A great little slicer, snacker, salsa tomato and an eye-catcher at the farmer's market! About 75 days.

B'Lev oxheart is a variety that was sent to us by our European friend. It is a smooth, pretty fruit that grow on skinny, wispy leaved vines. B'Lev tomato packs superb flavor. It's meaty, dense and sweet with great overall balance. It's a perfect slicing variety. One of the best oxhearts that I have tasted in quite a while. Great for eating off the vine! Prolific and hardy vines.

When I first grew these, someone should have told me that I should only grow a few plants. Our plants produced so many delicious, light pink cherry tomatoes, that I couldn't harvest them all. Raspberry Colored Sugarplum tomato is the one to grow if you want huge harvests. They begin to ripen about 70 days from transplant. These are sweet and juicy!
-
When I first grew these, I had to get my French dictionary out to see what the name Jaune Flamme meant. I found out that it means Yellow Flame. A name that is well deserved. Ping pong ball sized fruits are juicy, sweet and delicious. Vines are prolific and should be staked. Fruits begin to ripen about 70 days after transplant. Great selection for market sales. perfect for salads, snacking. Try drying some, they are very intense that way!!

If your aim is to have a perfectly sized sandwich tomato that can easily hold its own, you may want to try Big Mack tomato.

Morris Heading Collards
Morris Heading Collards is an old southern green that is a cultural favorite. This tasty variety is said to taste line butter. I really don't find that to be necessarily true. In my experience, it's very soft, smooth tasting and sort of nutty. With that said, it's very, very delicious and shouldn't be overlooked. One of my favorite greens that I grow from time to time. These are also slower to bolt. Rich in vitamins and minerals. If you love collars, try this one!! -
In 2017 we ate no other tomato right of of the vine in the garden as we did Lucky Tiger. Another fine production by Fred Hempel of Artisan Seeds, this tomato is the BOMB! Perfect for salsas, jams, jellies, drying for flakes and powder and tons more, there is no better say to have it than freshly picked! High producing vines are six feet tall and bushy. They produce two inch long, greenish pink, bi color tomatoes that are the closest thing to real fruits. It's really hard not to eat them all. I literally ate hundreds of these before I saved my first seed. If you haven't grown lucky Tiger tomato, Get it!

Out of stockFull flavored, old fashioned and complete is how I would describe Daniels tomato. Large fruits can weigh up to 2 pounds but are more often between 14 and 24 ounces. These have very good texture and are perfect for sandwiches. Potato leafed plants are about 5 feet or taller and produce plenty of smooth pink fruits. Good disease resistance and dependable variety that would be a hit at your farmers market. If you are looking for a really good sandwich tomato, here it is! Add it to your list.
