Piedmont Pear Tomato
A pretty and tasty variety, Piedmont Pear tomato will turn heads in your garden. High producing plants are about 5 feet tall and begin ripening their fruits around day 75 from transplant. These had really good disease resistance for us. Fruits are borne in many clusters of 5 or 6 and when fully ripened are sweeter, mild and have fruity undertones. A pleasure for snacking, making preserves (jams etc) and plating/garnish. These would be a nice addition to any tomato garden. Try them! -
Purple Calabash tomato is a flattened ribbed, dark purple fruit, that grows on prolific vines. fruits are milder and juicy. Especially demanded by gourmet chefs for their beautiful ribbed look and intense color, this variety is very useful in many culinary applications. it's even good when sliced for sandwiches. Make some mild purple sauce with these. It works great! -
2018 was the first year that we grew African Vining tomato. I was very pleased with the outcome! What we got was a very good sauce tomato that had nice stand-alone flavor. It was softer and more aromatic than some other elongated varieties, so it wasn't the best keeper. I especially loved sauce made from this variety, which was sweeter and thick. African Vining vines produce as many as most noted sauce and paste types ( Amish Paste, Abbittista, Jersey Devil). Vines are wispy and need early staking. Great too for canning, cooking and paste. Would be a great new addition to your sauce cultivars. -

Coeur de Surpriz Tomato
One of my biggest regrets in 2019 is that I didn't grow enough Coeur de Surpriz tomato plants. I grew out 4 plants and 3 of them were drowned in the flood waters in mid-June. When the remaining plant finally started ripening its fruits, I was amazed at how beautiful they were. Not wanting to eat many, in order to maximize my seed count, I tried a few. Then a few more, and more. Eventually I only saved fruits from half of the plant. These were sweet and fruity with a little tang. Very good little tomato! Bi-colored outside and out. Good choice for fresh eating, salads, garnish, dehydrating, fresh salsa, canning and more. Nice all purpose variety. Might I say again, very, very good! -
Long Red Cayenne Pepper
A really effective flakes and powder variety, I also use these fresh in soups and chili etc. Long Red Cayenne Pepper has middle of the road heat. When it replaces Jalapeños and used fresh in fresh salsa, it really shines. Two and a half feet tall plants are prolific and produce ripened peppers that are about 3-4 inches long. Fruits are a mix of straight and curly. Nice choice for Caribbean or South American cuisine. -
Dwarf Pink Flamingo Tomato
Dwarf Pink Flamingo is a pretty tomato that grows on rugose leaved plants. Our plants grew to about 3 feet and produced plenty of fruits that began to ripen about 65 days after transplant. I really liked the full flavored mildness of these. Sweetish, Pink Flamingo has very subtle hints of fruits that will get you hooked. Smooth fruits without many blemishes. Great choice for snacking, slicing, cooking and more. Another wonderful selection from the Dwarf Tomato Project. Worth growing! Feel Free to check out and subscribe to our Youtube Channel -
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. -
Cherokee Lime Stripes Tomato
Deriving form a selection by Mr Bill Jeffers, Cherokee Lime Stripes tomato is a very visually appealing variety with fabulous taste too. Striking green and pinkish/purple bi colored fruits are usually about 6-8 ounces and are borne on heavy producing plants. These never stop coming all season long. These are sweeter with some acidic tones but very satisfying. Not a complex tomato. Great choice for Market sales, garnish, tomato preserves, slicing and more. -

One of the prettiest okras that you will find, Burgundy Okra plants produce dark purple, 6 inch long fruits. Burgundy plants can be quite tall. I really love this variety's nutty taste and have eaten many raw, right off the plant. It is best to harvest these within a week of appearing on the plant. Perfect for frying or anything okra. -
Helsing Junction Blues tomato is an antho cherry variety. It can get much darker than some other antho types. Our vines produce plenty quarter sized fruits that were tasty and kept well after harvest. Our first fruits began to ripen around the 72 day mark after transplant. These worked well for us at our local Farmer's Market. They are milder with some sweetness and earthy after-taste. Perfect for canning, garnish, snacking, dehydrating, market sales and more. They are head-turners when green or ripened, so plant them in a spot where they can be seen. Then the conversation really begins! Happy Planting Y'all! -
Camp Joy (Chadwick's Cherry) is a bright red, nickel sized cherry tomato that is totally worth trying. Tall aggressive vines are prolific and produce all season long, ripening their first fruits in about 70 days. Plants like our hotter summers . They showed no signs of diseases and produced till frost! Tomatoes have a good balance of sweets and tang. These are perfect for canning, snacking, drying and market sales. These are also great for market sales. Ours usually begin ripening around 70 days from transplant. Expect sweet treats until frosts. Will do well in containers also. We recommend 5 gallons or larger! -
Cherokee Green tomato is a real pleasure to grow!

Vines are hardy have good disease resistance, are about 6 feet tall and produce plenty fruits. Tomatoes are in clusters of 3-5. They weigh about six ounce.

The pictures below say it all. Dwarf Pink Opal tomato is, in my opinion a superb little cherry variety. I love everything about it. Plants are short, very productive, pretty and delicious. Our plants displayed really good disease resistance! Dwarf Pink Opal brought us tomatoes all season long. About 1.5 inches in diameter, these tender pink, smooth skinned, fruity cherries, are perfect for snacking. They are mildly sweet and juicy and make a really good salad. But snacking on them right in the garden is how I really loved them. Another good one for container growing! Try some, you'll love them too. -
In 2018 I grew many varieties of dwarf tomatoes. Some were good, some better and some excellent. I especially enjoyed the ones that worked well as multi-purposed types. Epoch Dwarf tomato, to me, is a multi-purpose variety. It's a slicer that works well as a sandwich tomato, makes good sauce, cooking, snacking and more! When thinly sliced and dehydrated it turns into some of the best garnish for your meals. For us, this was a high-flavored tomato that was well worth growing. 2-3 feet tall vines produced nicely until the end of the growing season. These work well in containers too! -
Dwarf CC McGee Tomato
Dwarf CC McGee tomato was my dwarf winner in 2019. Big fruits just kept on coming! Potato leaf, rugose leafed plants were as hardy as you could possibly get. Ours grew to about 3.5 feet tall. Most of our fruits were between six and eight ounces. A few were slightly bigger or smaller. Tomatoes were oblate and a light shade of yellow, or perhaps ivory. Taste was very good, sweet and tart, but in perfect balance, slightly fruity and satisfying. I am definitely growing these wonderful dwarf cultivar again! Great for small gardens or container growing! -
Olive Hill Tomato
Olive Hill Tomato is a deep pink, large beefsteak with excellent flavor. Originating in Kentucky USA, most of our fruits were in the one pound (16 ounce) range. Potato leafed plants are around 6 feet tall and produce a plenty. These will need extra support. Flavor is old fashioned, rich and balanced. Clean, blemished free fruits! A great choice to do whatever you wish. I had a couple of these in the garden, excellent! Made many sandwiches with these too, always great! Another one that I will grow again in 2021. -
80-85 Days. Persimmom is a nice sized, yellow tomato that I first grew in 2012. I have grown it every other year since then. Light yellow, juicy tomatoes can reach one pound. They are slightly sweet, juicy and milder. Plants are bushy and productive. Great selection for sandwiches, slicing in salads, salsa and nice yellow tomato juice! -
In 2018 we did not grow many gigantic varieties. Of the ones we did grow(about 8 or so), Brutus Magnum was perhaps the most consistently large. Fruits averaged between 1.5 - 2.3 lbs. At times we really struggle with vine upkeep. A few tomatoes became too heavy for their plants and broke themselves off. That was offset by good production, so we still got plenty fruits from just 4 plants. Brutus Magnum is a clean variety. Most tomatoes did not have cracks. Very meaty and evenly balanced taste. This one need early, consistent and proper staking! Great sandwich tomato! 88 Days! -
Dwarf Sibirskaya Troika tomato is perhaps the most unique looking dwarf variety we have ever grown. 2-3 feet tall, Tree-Like plants, produce a nice amount of fat, plump tomatoes that make excellent sauce. Fruits are sweeter and mild. They have soft flesh, nice aroma and good stand-alone flavor. Our plants displayed excellent disease resistance. They started ripening their fruits about 75 days after transplant. These will do well in containers, I recommend 5 gallons or larger. They will also do excellently in the ground! Some staking is required, as 2-3 inch elongated fruits can easily weigh plants down. Try these for your sauces. Great for small gardens or patio growing too. -
Ghost Pepper Seeds (But Jolokia)
Ghost Pepper seeds are now available at Renaissance Farms! Also known as Bhut Jolokia, this super hot chilli has a smoky, fruity taste, if you can get past the brutal heat. On the Scoville scale, it measures 1,041,427 SHU. This baby is HOTTT! I use these for making sauce but it can be used for smoked chili, chili flakes and even fresh in cooking. NOTE: Ghost peppers are not for the novice! -
NOT FOR THE NOVICE!! Packed with heat, Apocalypse Scorpion Chocolate pepper made me some of the best hot sauce in 2021. I planted 6 plants and they never stopped producing. Very prolific, so you will get many peppers if you take care of them. These bumpy chocolate beauties measure about 1,400,000 SHU. As a comparison, so you would know how hot these are, Jalapenos measure 5,000-10,000 SHU. So if you want fire, you've got it right here! Apocalypse Scorpion Chocolate is not just heat. There's a very nice flavor behind the heat. If you can stand the burn then you will get to the flavor! Great for sauces, hot pepper flakes and powders. I have made so much sauce with these and shared much with my three sisters and mom. We are all fire-breathers! lol. -
85 Days. I remember the very first time that I grew Theas and where in the garden they were. that's because George Detsikas tomato is a memorable one. Other than great its taste, I always remember how aromatic this fruit was. I have grown these about five times in the last ten years and nothing has changed. They are so flavorful, rich and delicious that they easily make my "best sandwich tomato" list. Tall thick vines are disease resistant. -
Bingo Cherry was gifted to us by Mr Bill Jeffers. It's a meaty and firmer little fruit that is all about taste. Ripening to a nice brownish color, this tomato is sweet and juicy with a really rich finish. 6 foot vines produce big crops of nickel to quarter sized cherries that begin to ripen about 75 days after transplant. These produced all the way until frost. Great for snacking, market sales, jams or jellies and drying. -
Full-flavored, rich and earthy is how I will describe Ruby Surprise tomato. Sporting a look all of it's own, this bronze-colored tomato never turned darker, like some others. This gave them a very outstanding visual appeal! I knew just what they were when I walked by the vines. Ruby Surprise is a 8-12 ounce beefsteak tomato that also have good, smooth texture. These work well for sandwiches. Slice some for a platter display, or eat them fresh right out of the garden. Either way you will have a grand experience! Production is good and plants are hardy. A nice addition for your tomato garden!
