85 Days. Janet's Jacinthe Jewel tomato is a large yellow fruit with delicate, vertical golden streaks from top to bottom. This sweet and juicy slicer makes some really good yellow spaghetti sauce. If this means anything, chefs that shop at our farmers market are fond of these. Thick and sprawling plants need staking early. They produce really nice crops of 1 pound, juicy tomato, that are as aromatic as you can find. Tomatoes are on the soft side and are always very tempting to bite into. Apply restraint! -
Ivan Tomato
Ivan tomato is a Missouri family heirloom that is not well known. As a result, not many people are currently growing it. During my research, I discovered that only one vendor was carrying it. I believe it is because of this vendor that this cultivar made it's way to me. This variety needs to be grown by more fanciers, in order for it to be preserved! Our Ivan plants were tall and vibrant. They produced high quantities of tennis ball sized, red fruits that were delicious and inviting. A mid to late season variety, these have really good old time, full flavored, balanced taste. Our plants showed good disease resistance and were among the last to go down. This is a great slicer and market tomato. Try some when you are making your next sandwich. It works! -
Iva's Red Berry tomato is a small, delicious and early cherry. Ours began to ripen around 65 days after transplant much to our delight. This year, 2018, they were the very first tomatoes in the garden to ripen. Our vines are bushy and have shown good disease resistance. Just two plants provided enough tomatoes for us for the entire season. Fruits are medium firm and packed with really good tomato flavor. They grow in long bunches of up to 15. Iva's Red Berry is a great choice for salads, snacking and market sales. These may work well also in containers. -
Italo Tomato
Italo tomato is a huge oxheart that can reach 3.5 pounds. I have heard stories that some growers have harvested 5 pounders. I will have to see that to believe it! These averaged 2 pounds and got smaller as the season wound down. At the height of the season we were harvesting 2 pounders all day long! Italo is meaty, sweet, weighty and solid. Fine tomato taste. Ripens red. Plants are not necessarily tall, perhaps 4-5 feet but produce a good amount of fruits. These held up great against diseases! Perfect for sandwiches, cooking, or even making some superb sauce. Plants will need plenty of early support! -
Italian Sweet Beefsteak Tomato is a pink, 1 one pound fruit. They are on the sweeter side. I have actually had these seeds since 1999. They were given to me by Italian friend when I lived in the Bronx NYC. She usually grew about 40 plants on the side of her house each year and I would always walk by and admire. Eventually we became friends and seeds were shared. In 2020 I went through my very large seed stash and found about 100 seeds sitting there. They were in very bad shape, because I hadn't messed with them for more than 15 years and in those days didn't really take great care of my seeds. I eventually decided to try them in 2021. Germination was 4 seeds out of about 50, with only three plants eventually making it. These have good old time flavor and perfect for sandwiches. Our plants are usually about 6 feet tall, vibrant and productive. No serious diseases have bothered this one. Fruits are generally crack or blemish free. Some ripened fruits have slightly yellow shoulders that doesn't affect the taste of the tomato at all. These have no hard cores. Just a nice all round tomato that is such a pleasure to grow! Definitely worth it! -
Italian Heirloom is a dense, red oxheart that is perfect for sauces and sandwiches. Vines are very skinny and have wispy leaves. Fruits are sweet and meaty.

80 Days. The most productive of all mid-size beefsteaks, this tomato is etched in my memory. Seriously, if you wanted to select a perfect variety as your main crop, plant a few rows of these. Italian Giant Beefsteak tomato averages about 1 pound. Plants are super hardy, blows through diseases and is prolific. Fruits are sweeter, fleshy, rich and balanced. You cannot go wrong with these. For a good size tomato, it's also quite early, coming in at 80 days. Great for sandwiches, cooking, fresh eating right off the vine and so much more! Perfect for any tomato grower! -
I first grew Ispolin tomato in 2017. It blew me away with its consistency, fruit size, production and hardiness. I soon realized that it was a great to grow as a main crop. Fruits are sweetish, juicy and balanced. Our biggest fruits were close to 1.5 pounds but the average size was about fourteen to sixteen ounces. Ispolin is a very good sandwich tomato. You can expect your first ripened fruits about 85-90 days after transplant. Get ready for plenty awesome beefsteaks! -

Inkspot Micro Dwarf Tomato is a pretty interesting micro cherry variety. Fruits are small like one of its parents Pinocchio Orange. This is possibly the best tasting micro to date. When reading up on some of Inkspot's plant description I found some that said their plants grew to about 12 inches, well none of my 10 plants were that short. In fact for me they were more like 15 inches, while still producing nicely in 6 inch containers. Additionally, it was listed as a determinate variety. Well my plants seemed more like semi determinate. It's October 29th here and I still have one plant in my greenhouse that's producing, growing and getting taller. So for me these are not determinate at all. With that said, it does have many micro dwarf habits. Small plant, early producing and does well in just six inch pots and under light. As far as taste, this to me is very, very good! These are very dark and very beautiful. Check out my pictures. Definitely worth growing again and again. I would also recommend 1 gallon containers. -
In 2018 we grew quite a few exciting new varieties. Indische Fleisch tomato is one of them. Dark colored fruits are darker than most black varieties. They have green shoulders that fades as fruits become well ripened. Fruits average about 5-8 ounces and are born on vibrant, hard working vines! As far as taste, I loved, love, love these. They were perfectly balanced with earthy tones, some acidity and sweets too. Superb texture accompanied its taste, which assisted in making this tomato winner. Plants were about 5 feet tall and produce plenty! Perfect slicing tomato that will work well for sandwiches too. Try dehydrating some. Winner! -
Indigo Apple tomato is one of the prettiest anthocyanin fruits in my opinion. Ping pong ball sized fruits have a really nice, intense and earthy flavor. They are also juicy with very nice texture. Vines are tall and produce plenty fruits with darkened tops and purple/brownish bottom ends. Fruits begin to ripen about 75 days after transplant. Perfect little slicers for garnishing, fresh eating off the vine! Great market tomato. I have found that kids are very attracted to these and are willing to try them. Then then ask for seconds!. -

Indiana Red tomato is a very, very nice tasting oxheart. Clean and crack-free fruits weigh about 8-16 ounces and are borne on tall wispy leafed plants. Our fruits began to ripen about 78 days from transplant into the garden. These have excellent texture, well balanced taste that reminds me of the tomatoes or yesteryear. I will definitely be growing these again. Additionally, our plants showed really god disease resistance. Plants produced nicely and fruits were consistent in shape. If you love oxhearts, or old timey tasting tomatoes, try this one and make yourself some fine sauces and sandwiches! Few Seeds! -
WILL NOT SHIP OUTSIDE OF THE USA. As a Caribbean man, I appreciate a good fruit. Indiana Paw Paw certainly reminds me of the Caribbean. This very delicious 3-8 ounce and more fruit is creamy and smooth. Plants can reach 20 feet tall but always with skinny trunks. Recommended zones 5-9. My grove is 6 years old and started producing last year at 5 years old. This year 2021, they really produced a lot and would have done so even more if a late frost hadn't destroyed many blooms. Indiana Paw Paw reminds me of a banana and mango mixed. Some say that it reminds them of banana and pineapple mix. I don't get the pineapple part. Nevertheless, this is an outstanding fruit that is best when eaten fresh or used in baked goods, breads, cakes, cookies and even puddings etc . My favorite is Paw Paw ice cream!! Shelf life of this fruit is poor, perhaps 3-days after harvest. Seeds are stratified and ready to grow for you this spring. Start a grove like I did, you wouldn't regret it. -

Iditarod is a larger sized cherry tomato with good taste. It is sweet and softer, with juicy flesh that has some mild fruitiness on the back end. They grow to about three feet tall and produce tons of lighter red fruits. I especially like these in salsa and off the vine but they are superb when sliced and dried. Plants are hardy and begin to ripen their fruits about 72 days after transplant. Container growing is recommended also. Some staking is required. Our seeds are freshly packed just for you. -
Seeds gifted to me by a friend, Ideal tomato is a small slicing variety that is the perfect all purpose variety. The first things that comes to mind is tomato stew, market sales and cooking. Taste is kind of old fashioned, medium mild with good overall balance. This variety is not timid as far s production. Our plants just kept pumping them out. I just wished I had the time to harvest more. Regular leafed plants grew to about 6 feet tall and were always loaded. These were pretty early too, starting to ripen around 72 days from transplant. Honestly, I am not sure that I grew a more useful variety in 2021. If you need is for a tomato that's not too large, one that can cover many bases, this is a great choice! -

Hooked On Cherry Tomato
EXCLUSIVE 2020
Hooked On Cherry is a sweet black fruit that is great for salads, snacking, preserves, market sales and so much more. Crack free fruits are stunningly beautiful and inviting. Seeds were first given to me by Bill Jeffers of Evansville Indiana and they seemed to be unstable. After growing it out for several years, it now is very stable! Its original name was T-Black Cherry, but Bill explained to me that that name was used from one of its parents. Given the permission to change its name, I have decided to call it Hooked On Cherry. You would love this fruit! So sweet and juicy, prolific plants, excellent disease resistance! So much upside! I am truly hooked! You'll be too! -
Honey Drop Tomato
One of the best cherries that I have ever tasted, Honey Drop tomato is also the most unique that I have ever grown! I am totally blown away by everything about this gem! It is the first tomato that I have grown where seeds from one plant produces different colored fruits. Yes, you heard me. Seeds from one plant can produce pinks, yellows and some with pink blushes. It's true! My three plants produced two yellows and a pink. But that is not all, these babies are prolific, have super disease resistance and are very vibrant! I promise you that there is NO tomato with such an aroma. These cherries smell like pure tropical fruits and not tomatoes. So many times I walked by my plants without looking and knew exactly where I was in the garden. All upside with honey drop. Perhaps now my #1 cherry tomato! Highly Recommended! -

Big, 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. -
