Brandywine Purple tomato, is a one pound tomato that can easily get bigger. Meaty and flavorful beefsteaks are perfect for slicing and sandwiches. But they will make some fantastic, fresh salsa also. Fruits are sweetish, firmer and have excellent balance, with a little fruitiness. I love the aroma of these when fully ripened! Fruits do not have a lot of seeds so grow a few extra plants if you are a seed saver! It will be well worth it! Plants produce a good amount of fruits that take about 85 days to ripen. Good disease resistance, tall vines so stake well. Produces until season's end. A Must Grow!

The first thing that comes to mind about growing Orange Orangutan tomato is its productivity. For such a large variety it's high producing. Big, beautiful yellow and red, bi-colored fruits an weigh one pound. Our largest this year was 1.4 pounds. Plants are about 5-6 feet tall and vibrant. They begin to ripen their fruits about 85 days from transplant in the garden. Our plants particularly loved the hotter, drier weather when some other varieties were struggling. But early staking is essential for a fantastic harvest. Orange Orangutan is a good selection for sandwiches and garnishing but should sell well at the market also. Try cooking or stew with this one!

75 Days. Dwarf Lemon Ice tomato was a big hit for us in 2017. We grew quite a few plants and all were great. Our rugose leaf plants were about 3.5 feet tall and produced big crops of perfect, beautifully heart shaped fruits that were mild and sweet. Tree type plants demonstrated a great disease resistance tolerance. Really nice tomato for sandwiches, light yellow sauce and fresh eating! These are perfect for container growing.

Don't let the small size of Aji Charapita Pepper fool you. This thing is pack full of heat, measuring about 30,000 to 50,000 Scoville heat units (SHU) ! The smallest pepper that I have ever grown, these are very nice for cooking and drying. When dried, they can be used as flakes, powder or whole. Just think that a Jalapeno pepper measures about 2,500-10,000 SHU. That means that one Charapita is almost 10-15 times hotter that one jalapeno. Ask me, I had to eat them to prove my point. They are hot! Great little pepper for garnish etc. It is said that they are very popular with chefs in South America. I am elated to have this variety on my website!

Have a look at my images and you will practically be able to taste them. Please stake these well and get ready for bit things!!

The Very Best Tomato
I happen to think that this is a great tomato name! I mean who wouldn't be interested in a variety named The Very Best. I grew these out expecting big things and I wasn't disappointed. My four plants produced plenty 10-14 ounce pink beefsteaks, that were sweet, meaty and delicious. Its taste isn't complicated, just a nice old fashioned, full-flavored one! When I tasted my first one, I immediately knew that this variety would be awesome for sandwiches. Our plants were big, tall and vibrant. They were really good with disease resistance and also weren't bothered with extreme weather. These are great, try them! Everyone would like The Very Best Tomato! -
AH Scorpii Tomato
It almost seems impossible how many huge tomatoes one AH Scorpii can produce. They are not prolific producers, but they produce plenty, considering the massive size of the fruits! Many of ours easily surpassed 2 pounds. With these you won't get too many small tomatoes on your vines. Everyone is large. When well ripened, AH Scorpii fruits are a nice pink color that is very appealing to the eye. The true surprise is in the taste. These full flavored fruits will keep you eating all day long. The thick rich meat is juicy and nicely textured. Not sweet or tart, just right. Sandwiches would love these! It's a keeper for me from now on! -
Large Red Cherry Tomato
Large Red Cherry tomato is one of the workhorses of the cherry tomato world. Just one or two of this very hardy and disease resistant variety is all you would need to feed an average sized family all summer long. Bright red cherries are about the size of Black Cherry tomatoes, begin ripening around 70 days after transplant and continue until frost. Fruits are juicy and balanced with plenty old school tomato flavor. Perfect for snacking and salads. Great choice for Farmers' Market, too! I highly recommend these for first time or container gardening because they are so tough! -
Creme Brûlée tomato is a great example of the qualities of most black tomatoes. It's one that I would recommend if someone to someone who has never tasted a dark variety. It's similar in taste to Grandma Oliver's Chocolate and Chyornyi Tarasenko. Most of all it has it's own delicious characteristics. Creme Brûlée is not a large fruit (perhaps 6-8 ounces) but it has large flavor. 5 foot tall plants begin to ripen fruits around 75 days after transplant. We had no disease issues with these in 2018. Plants produce plenty of pretty fruits. Cracking wasn't an issue for us with these. A great choice for any tomato garden! See it on YouTube

Red beauty tomato is perhaps the most beautiful antho variety there is. This stunningly red with black shoulder tomato is going to turn heads in your garden.

Fruits weigh between 4 and 10 ounces and turn even darker wherever the sun hits them. Fruits are not sweet or tart, but there is a very good balance, especially when well ripened. This is a fantastic tomato for garnishing, cooking, sandwiches and even tomato juice. Works great for market vendors too, where they have been a big hit for me.

75 Days. Black Icicle tomato is a forward tasting fruit that is a great sauce candidate. Wispy leaf vines produce plenty 2-3 inch long, dark colored fruits that are very tasty. Plants have skinny vines and need to be staked early. Fruits are light chocolate brown and are sweet and rich when well ripened. This is a great tomato for cooking, sauces, stews, slicing and drying and eating of the vine.

I have been growing some of Reinhard's products for several years now and he always breeds some top of the line varieties. I especially like his cherry tomatoes! This year I grew Reinhard Kraft's Goldkirsche tomato, a light yellow, dime to nickel sized cherry, that will blow you away with its production. 4-5 feet tall, indeterminate plants are slow growing, but once they catch on, produced so many tomatoes that I was hardly able to keep up. Fruits came in bunches of 10-15 and began to ripen about 70 days after transplant. Once they started coming in, it was off to the races every day picking all summer long! These are very sweet and juicy, with a semi firm to softish feel. Like good candy! Will do well in larger containers too!

By its name you would think that Python is a super hot pepper. If fact, it's not. Python (Piton) is a tasty sweet pepper that is most commonly used for drying, then making flakes or powder for incorporating with soups, pizza etc. It has a very strikingly intense flavor, especially when dehydrated. About 2.5 feet tall plants produce 6 inch or longer fruits that ripens from green to red and curl and twirl like a python. These are early and heavy producing. Real eye-catcher this one is. Use them whole when fresh for sprucing up your dishes, or chop them up for toppings in soups, meats etc, what a treat!

As a Caribbean man, I have many stories about this pepper that I can tell. Along with some scorpion types and Trinidad 7 Pot Yellow, this one is a favorite of the Caribbean people. In Trinidad, which is I am from originally, Caribbean Red pepper is one of our favorite peppers for cooking, hot sauces and more. There, it's just a very accessible and highly used variety. One of my favorite ways to use it is to sit it gently on top of any cooking meal and let its flavor seep in, without the pepper being torn or ripped open. Using this method, almost anything that you cook with this pepper turns out great! Heat is medium, flavor is delicious, aroma undeniable! Prolific plants produce all season long!

One of the things I like about Ussuri Tiger tomato is that it has a good niche. This is a mild and juicy fruit that has a fruity aftertaste. At the farmers market, some of our customers loved it because it was not strong, but still delicious. Ussuri Tiger is an antho tomato that sports nice dark stripes over pale yellows. Our first ripened fruits were relatively early, coming in around 70-72 days. Plants were very prolific and hardy. Some of ours were still producing a lot at September's end! These are great for snacking, garnishing, salsa, cooking, canning and so much more! Very good market variety!

There is almost nothing like a sandwich with Granny Cantrell's German Pink tomato. It has the right size, perfect juice, great taste, enough meat and it's not excessively seedy. Our vines produced beefsteak fruits that were in the 1 pound range. They began ripening about 82 days after transplanting in our gardens. Granny Cantrell's tomatoes ripen to a dark pink color, that is aromatic when sliced open. production is plentiful but not excessively prolific. Also a good variety for cooking, slicing, fresh eating and more. Certainly a variety that's worth growing. Stake plants well and early!

Banskia Queen Dwarf tomato is a pretty yellow fruit that bears on vines that are about 3 feet tall. Even though it's a dwarf variety, it definitely has to be staked because its tomatoes are large and its production is good. Plants have rugose leaves and none of ours have ever showed signs of diseases. Our biggest fruits have been around 10 ounces and smallest around 4. When it comes to taste, it is milder, a bit tangy, with sweet undertones. It is a great salsa, sandwich, and cooking tomato, and if you have any left over, take them to the market--they'll do well. One quick note, for the last three years, we have sold literally thousands of dwarf tomato plants at our farmers market.

Plants have good disease resistance and are determined to produce. Early staking is essential. At times fruit support may also be necessary! Ours relished the hotter, dryer months and did well in the wetter times too. As far as taste, Behemoth King tomato is sweet, really balanced and medium juicy. Sweets, tang and richness are all flavors you will experience when you bite into one! Get ready for a treat! -
Cardinal Climber white is among my favorite flowers. Tiny little tender things grow on beautiful vines that can reach 20-30 feet. Vines begin to bloom around mid-june and go ll the way until frost. This variety will reseed so it may help to grow it in a location where it can grow long term. One of the biggest bonuses when growing these is the regular hummingbird visits. They just love cardinal climber vines! These are perfect for banisters, gazebos, fences, or anywhere you want a flowering vine. We intertwine the red and white versions!

Out of stockThere is so much that I could say about Pusta Kolox tomato. Since this is a short description, I will simply say that it's GREAT! Radiant vines just keep pumping out huge red beefsteaks that are oblate and about 1.5 pounds. Sweet and rich with a very nice finish, Pusta Kolox should be on your yearly grow-list. A great fit for making delicious sandwiches. A fine all-purpose variety.

Southern Giant Curled Mustard is one of my favorite greens. I direct seed them early in Sprig and thin them out a few weeks early. They can also be started in pots and then transplanted in the garden. Heavily curled bright green leaves are ready to start harvesting just about 4 weeks from transplant. Perfect for mix salad greens and sautéed. Works well too in soups! Great for early spring and fall crops!

Ours did not have any diseases in 2018, even though it was a tough year! This is a perfect container variety that should do well in 4 or 5 gallon containers. Pixie Striped has hollow insides and may be good for some stuffing. Cavities are not too deep. These are sweeter and mild, not too much juice. I suspect they will work well for dehydrating too! This little dwarf tomato is a pleasure to grow!

These are perfect salad, snacking and drying tomatoes. Can be grown indoors and under lights.
