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! -
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! -

Once they start ripening, you will have tomatoes until frost. Whether you decide to make some of the best spaghetti sauce or slice them for your delicious salads, you could never go wrong with these! -

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! -
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. -
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. Hardy plants produce clusters of 4-5 fruits that begin to ripen around 75 days after transplant. Vines are pretty tall so stake early. 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. -
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 -
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! -
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! -
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! -
Goose Rock Tomato is a huge red variety with outstanding old time flavor. These tomatoes were born sandwich ready. Fruits can weigh up to 2.5.

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!! -
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! -
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. -
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! -
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! -
A high producing variety, Dwarf Maura's Cardinal tomato is truly a treat in any garden. Ours were exceptionally prolific! Oblate, Cardinal red fruits, are very pretty and weigh about 4-6 ounces. These are unmistakable in appearance. This summer our gardens were lit up with a very beautiful but different shade of red. Plants are about 3 feet tall and have nice resistance to early blight. Fruits are very well balanced, sweet but not too much with some zing. These deliver a very nice tomato experience Texture is excellent. Great for slicing, snacking, garnish, market sales, cooking and more!! As a Dwarf variety, it most likely would perform well in larger containers and small garden spaces, too -
Aunt Ginny's Purple Tomato
There is so much that I can say about this German variety, but I will start with its dependability. If you need a tomato that's going to produce for you, even in tough conditions, Aunt Ginny's Purple tomato is a great choice! Ripened fruits are deep pink and can reach one pound. Ours averaged 10-14 ounces. Taste is rich, and sweeter, with excellent texture. Mildly acidic. I love these so much! Plants are potato leafed and about 6 feet tall. One of the last varieties to make it to first frost this year. There were still tons of green ones on the plants after frost. -
Florence Fennel There are so many ways in which you can use fennel. Here we use it in pasta salad, in seafoods, as stuffing in fish in soups and more. Fennel is one of the most popular herbs used in cooking today. Its flavor is so distinct, that you cannot mistake it for anything else. My friend, a chef, wrapped Florence Fennel in foil with crab legs, then grilled it for a short while. The crab flavor was amazing! My favorite ways to use it is in creamy type soups and middle East cuisine. Although most people use just the bulbs, the entire plant is edible. If you have never used fennel, try this most popular variety in your next dish! -
Vates Blue Scotch Curled Kale
If you love kale, Vates Blue Scotch Curled would be an awesome variety for you to try. Plants are short, perhaps 12 inches and produce some of the most beautiful and nutritious leaves that you could ever find. These can be used in salads, garnish, in soups or anything that you use kale for. Especially sweet after a light frost and is reasonably cold hardy. Plant in early spring for summer harvest, or, if you wish, in late summer for a fall harvest. -

In our garden, Alfonsi's Big Pink Beefsteak tomato was my favorite beefsteak and perhaps tomato in 2018. It really took me by surprise because of it's green shoulders, but that just helped to intensify things. Alfonsi's is so balanced and tasty, it has made its way on my top tomato list. This, along with Texwine, Green Giant and about 5 or 6 other big beefsteaks were really impressive in 2018. It also reminded me of Dester, one of my favorite beefsteaks! Alfonsi's is smooth, not too sweet or tart, sort of fruity and has just the right amount of everything. Simply impressive. Stake well and expect plenty fruits. Good disease resistance all through the season! Seeds from a European friend! Fruits can reach 1.5 lbs. Green shoulders turn pink eventually but fruits taste great even with them! -
Common Purple Phlox Seeds
The very first flower that ever drew me into flower gardening was Common Purple Phlox. Also known as Tall Garden Phlox or Phlox paniculate, this very attractive cultivar is not only beautiful, but vary hardy. They produce beautiful, big bunches of fragrant, deep pink blooms that last from June to August. Stalks can reach 3-4 feet tall depending on location. These love full sun but will flourish in part shade just as well. These are perfect for zones 4-8, but I have heard of instances where they have done well outside of these zones. Truly a wonderful, hardy addition, to your butterfly and humming bird garden. -
Lambert's General Grant Tomato
One of my favorite tomatoes all season long, Lambert's General Grant tomato really knocked it out of the park! The plants were tall, but that could be because they had a few hours less sunshine than most of the garden this year. Plants were 6-7 feet tall but produced like crazy. Fruits were a delicious mix of sweets, tarts and good old richness! I highly recommend this one. One of my favorite things about Lambert's General Grant is it's disease resistance. Excellent! Ripened fruits were a nice mid to deep pink and averaged 8-18 ounces. A perfect sandwich tomato, but really a good all purpose type. -
Dwarf Audrey's Love Tomato
Dwarf Audrey's Love tomato is a plump, bi-colored variety. 2.5 feet tall plants are prolific and relatively early. One of our favorites in 2020, these things never stopped producing. Although this variety will do excellently in the ground it can easily be grown in in containers too. Taste is mild, with sweet undertones and earthiness, which I like. Ripened fruits are about 2 inches long with purple and green blushing and striping! Really beautiful and easy to manage, especially in small garden spaces! -
Flathead Monster Tomato
90 Days. A huge, outstanding, yellow beefsteak, Flathead Monster tomato is a sight to behold. Sturdy, tall vines produce a nice amount of 1-2 pound, meaty beefsteaks that are sandwich ready.
