Rosii Giant is a nice sized, bright red beefsteak that is perfect for a beef sandwich! It grows in clusters of 3 to 4 and can reach 1.5 pounds with regularity. Vines are hardy, produce plenty, and are about 6 feet tall. They begin to ripen their fruits 85 days after transplant and refuse to stop until deep frost. This variety also seemed to like hot, dry weather. Rosii Giant tomatoes are meaty, juicy, well balanced, have great aroma, and are satisfying. One bite will reveal a lot of meat and sweet juice. These will be perfect for sandwiches, cooking, sauces, drying, and market sales.

Sart Roloise Tomato
Sart Roloise tomato is a newer variety that has quickly gained popularity. It has a very unique and distinct coloration. A member of the anthocyanin family, this tomato proudly boasts its colors on its skin. It is one of the few varieties that is black on the top side and white on the bottom end. There may also be bluish blackish vertical streaks on parts of this beautiful tomato. Sart Roloise vines are tall and skinny. They produce clusters of 5, or so, tomatoes that are sweet and earthy with lots of juice. They turn dark purple wherever the sun touches them. Fruits vary in weight from 4 to perhaps 8 ounces. Many of ours were in the 6 ounce range. They are among some of the most beautiful tomatoes that you will ever lay your eyes on! These are great for slicing, garnishing, and sandwiches. Market sales are excellent! Also check out Great White Blues tomato. -
Out of stockSevryuga is a little oxheart that maxes out at about 8 ounces. Skinny, wispy, leaf vines, produce what seems like millions of perfectly heart-shaped tomatoes that begin to ripen at around 80 days after transplant. Fruits grow in clusters of 5 or 6. I also like the hardiness of this variety. It does very well with diseases. Like most oxhearts the we grow, Sevryuga is a taste specialist. Its sweet meet and juicy flesh are perfect for tomato juice, cooking, sauces, and salsa. Early staking is a must. This tomato has taste appeal!

Think Black Krim but more balanced. Southern Night tomato is a very good black that I especially like right off of the vine. I also loved the kind of salsa that it made. To me, this fruit is earthy and smokey. It is very juicy and has exceptionally good flavor. Ripening to a deep brownish color, this slicing tomato is worth its keep in any garden. Vines are not tall, perhaps 5 feet. They ripen their 6 to 8 ounce fruit around 80 days after transplant. This variety seemed to like hotter weather. Perfect when sliced in salads, fresh eating, salsa, cooking, and garnishing.

We have had so much fun growing Strelka's Arrow that I don't know if our garden can ever do without them! This sauce specialist is mild and sweet with very few seed cavities. It is mostly all meat. Strelka's Arrow's vines are determinant, excessively prolific, short, and sprawling. They are perhaps the most prolific sauce variety that I have ever grown. Vines are bushy and cluttered, so these need to be staked and bottom leaves trimmed. Our vines never had any diseases. We do spray with copper sulfate right after transplant and again after first fruit-set. If you have little space and need high yield, this would be a good choice for you. Firm fruits are perfect for drying and canning also. Does well as a keeper.

Get your canning jars ready! Pull out your sauce pans! We're about to get busy. Tapacheko 2 is a sauce and canning specialist that would perform very well as a paste tomato also. Its in the vein of San Marzano. Slightly juicier and larger. It is a determinant variety and its loaded vines do not grow perhaps more than 2.5 feet tall. It was surprisingly late for us coming in at about 90 days but it was totally worth it! Even though it is a short growing plant, it does need staking because it is a high yielding plant. Make yourself some of the best sauce ever.

I was gifted seeds for The Richardson Tomato and decided to grow a few plants out. I was rewarded with what I consider a real tomato. The Richardson Tomato is really a good all-purpose fruit. I only made sandwiches and sauce with it but based upon its texture and taste, I assume it will be good for salsa, for cooking, and perhaps catsup. It surely would be worth a try. I especially enjoyed it on sandwiches and I also had quite a few right in the garden--they were perfect! This beautiful smooth fruit will draw you in with its aroma. Vines are 6 feet tall and produce well. Ours displayed good disease resistance. We did spray one time with copper sulfate. Vines produced until Fall.

A yellow, super tomato that is no bigger than perhaps a nickel, Tindindogo was a huge hit for us in 2017. Hugh bushy plants produced what seems like millions of tender, yellow cherries that were good and memorable. They were the last recognizable fruits in our garden after the first true frost and I have no doubt that with a few warmer days afterwards they would have bounced back. Tindindogo is an African variety that loved the hot dry spells here. They are not very firm. They are flavorful and juicy and almost too much to harvest. Though they are flavorful and juicy, they weren't a good market tomato for us because of the softish texture. They were indeed perfect for eating out of the garden, salads, and sharing. Kids love them. Ripens 75 days after transplant.

Take a look at the pictures we posted for Tsarskiy Ljubimec. They will tell a story. The first impressive thing that you will recognize is when it starts fruiting. It holds a lot of fruits for a nice size tomato. Another impressive thing that I have noticed is that it hardly drops its blooms. We have harvested many bushels of tomatoes from just 4 plants! The true prize, though, is when you've sliced it. It is rich, sweeter, and balanced. Be sure to have a nice slice of bread ready, garnish it with some basil, cheese, olive oil, salt and black pepper...we have a winner! I recommend this tomato for any serious tomato grower and I especially recommend it for farmers market growers looking for quantity and great quality.

Tuxhorn's Red And Yellow is perhaps the sweetest bi-color that we have grown. Tall vines produce a good quantity of big fruits that can reach 5 pounds. When sliced, a beautiful canvas of reds and yellows complimented with a rich tomatoey aroma easily stimulates the salivary glands. The proof, though, is in the eating! At first bite, there is a sugar rush that pulls you in and renders you hooked. Tuxhorn is mostly sweet and fruity with a good, meaty texture. 85 to 90 days. Stake well.
-
Vechnyi Zov Tomato Vechnyi Zov is another excellent pink tomato that we grew in 2017. To be honest, this one surprised me. What I like most about it, is the tad bit of fruitiness that kicked in long after it was eaten. This is not a shy tomato--it tells you what it was made for. It is a sandwich specialist. Its vines are tall and excessively prolific. They seem to love the heat and never really got bothered by diseases. We had tomatoes until Fall.
-
Vinson Watts Tomato
Vinson Watts is not just another pink tomato--it's a very good one! A fleshy and medium sweet tomato with fruity undertones will surprise you because it is not a flashy fruit. Nonetheless, Vinson Watts can hold its own in any serious tomato arena. Hard-working vines produce a really nice quantity of 10 ounce to 1 pound beefsteaks that begin to ripen about 85 days after transplant. Stake well and get ready! Perfect for sandwiches, fresh eating, and cooking. Visit my YouTube Channel HERE -
Vorlon Tomato
If you are a lover of black tomatoes or if you have never tasted one, Vorlon tomato would be a good one to try. We grew if for the first time in 2017 and plan on growing it again from now on! Vorlon is a well balanced tomato with softish flesh that melts in your mouth. It reminds me of Nairobi Nights just not as intense. I have seen some that were close to 1 pound but the average size is closer to 10 ounces. Vines have potato leaves, are a bit sprawling, and prolific. This is a great tomato for sandwiches, salsas, and fresh eating off of the vine. 80 days. -
Yellow Accordion is a sweet, soft, beautiful, stuffing type tomato. It is also juicy! This tomato is a great fresh eating tomato off the vine and excellent when stuffed with already cooked food. It will not stand up to oven heat for more than a few minutes. Vines are very tall, prolific, resilient, and show great disease resistance. Great for fresh eating, stuffing, and salsa. Especially good for garnish and in sauces! This is one you must try. See it On YouTube!

Yoder's German Yellow Tomato
Yoder's German Yellow tomato is perhaps the best yellow tomato that we have grown in many years. It certainly was a standout for us in 2017. A very good producer. This workhorse will produce up to 24 ounce tomatoes all season long. It is not bothered by extreme heat. Tomatoes begin to ripen about 85 days after transplant. It is sweet, rich, meaty, and balanced. Perfect for sandwiches! See it on YouTube! -
Zuckerklein Fruchti is a nickel sized red cherry that is sweet and fruity. There is a tinge of acidity that gives it a nice balance. Vines are between 5 to 6 feet tall and produce clusters of 5 to 7 fruits that ripen about 72 days after transplant. Good disease resistance. Great in salads, for cooking and canning, and fresh eating. A good choice for any cherry lover!
-
Out of stockDwarf Artic Rose tomato is a perfect container variety. Its plants product plenty of tomatoes that seem happy together in bunches of 5 to 7. One of my observations of Arctic Rose is that it holds a lot of its blooms and set a lot of fruits. Although a few fruits may fall off the vine, this doesn't disqualify it from being a big producer. When fully ripened, fruits are tangy and juicy, with a sweetish undertone. Some staking support is necessary. You can expect fruits to ripen at about a 70 day mark and continue for quite awhile. This is a determinant variety, so they will be coming on fast and furious. Another good variety for containers or in the ground. I would try drying some because of the recognizable tang. Salsa would also shine when you use these.
-
Summertime Gold dwarf tomato is a very nice variety that can reach 10 ounces. In 2016 we grew quite a few plants and they all did excellently. Plants produce nice amounts of mildly sweet, juicy and fruity tomatoes that ripens around 85 days after transplant. Our dwarf plants grew to about 3 feet tall and started setting blooms pretty early. Great tomato for salsa, sandwiches and cooking. I like them best sliced fresh in the garden. It certainly is a wonderful treat that way! Stake plants as soon as possible, they will quickly become top heavy from the weight of the tomatoes. Good for container growing!
-
Tasmanian Chocolate dwarf tomato is a full flavored and beautiful fruit. They grow on plants that are about 3.5 feet tall. These will perform well in buckets or in the ground. Plants produce plenty, light chocolate colored fruits that can reach 12 ounces. Take a bite and you will discover a really juicy fruit that has a bit of earthiness to it. Plants quickly become top heavy so some staking may be necessary. You can expect your first ripened fruits around the 80 day mark. Try some of these in your garden and get ready for a bountiful harvest!
-
Dwarf Wild Fred tomato is one of my favorite dwarfs. I like its growing habits and tenacity. 3 foot plants never stop pumping out 6-10 ounce fruits all season long. Tomatoes are full flavored, a little smoky and balanced. They are juicy and aromatic when fully ripened. These seemed to love the hotter months and were still going strong in mid-September. Will perform well in containers. Staking may be necessary! We've had no issues with diseases.

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! -
Aunt Ruby's German Green tomato isn't just one of the best green when ripened tomatoes, for me, it's one of the best tomatoes period. An all time classic, this large beefsteak will fulfill your every tomato desire. Vines are foliage dense and thick. Fruits weigh between 10 and 20 ounce. When fully ripened, Aunt Rubys German Green is greenish with pink blushes on the bottom end.
-
Out of stock90 Days! One of my favorites, Soldacki Tomato always does excellently for us! A big beefsteak, this is the perfect sandwich tomato. But that's not all! This gem can also function as an all purpose tomato, for making sauce, salsa and fresh eating. Vines are bountiful and hardy. Fruits are very juicy and balanced with some additional complimentary flavors! Be sure to steak these properly or you will be mopping them off of the floor. If tasty beefsteaks is what you are after, Soldacki can easily fill that slot. You can also expect fruits until frosts. Our seeds are freshly packed!

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.

Taste tomato is another winner by Fred Hempel of Artisan Seeds. Seriously, he is a top class breeder and I really respect that. I have grown mostly everything that he has created and they all have been excellent. Taste is a very beautiful red and yellow bicolor fruit that is elongated. It reminds me of Striped Roman, but with better overall taste. This is an excellent choice for any serious tomato grower. Vines are packed loaded with fruits and are also reasonably early. Our first ripened fruits came in around 65 days . Vines are aggressive producers. Try these for sauces, fresh eating, sliced in salads and drying. Great market choice too! See It On YouTube.

Among the earliest to ripe in our gardens, Red Calabash tomato comes in right in time to hold you over for varieties that take a little longer to come on. Bright red, oblate fruits are sweetish, juicy and satisfying. They average 2 or 3 ounces and are literally everywhere. Vines are loaded with crack-free fruits and never stop coming until frosts gets them. These are perfect for canning, salads, juicing and even dehydrating. Great for market sales. Excellent when eaten right off the vine too! These will do well in larger containers. I recommend 5 gallons or bigger. 70-75 days from transplant!
