San Marzano 2 Tomato
If you haven't grown San Marzano 2 tomatoes yet, I encourage you to do so. My plants were indeterminate, huge and bushy. They produced a lot until frost. This is a very prolific variety and fruits just keep ripening from mid summer until frost. These are a bit larger than San Marzano, the determinate variety. Fruits are firm but not as firm as San Marzano. It's a sweeter fruit that gets a deep red when ripened. Perfect sauce tomato, perfect for canning, paste, cooking and so much more. If you are a sauce lover, you won't be disappointed with San Marzano 2! A must grow for me from now on! Highly Recommended! -
I've grown some pretty dwarf varieties in my time, but dwarf Egypt Yellow tomato is among the prettiest. It's not fancy colored, just a very clean canary yellow, that will melt your heart. After your heart has been melted, your tastebuds will follow! This tomato is as delicious as it's pretty. Dwarf Egypt Yellow has superb texture and good balance. Milder and sweet with a hint of fruit is how I would describe it! Plants are "Tree like". Ours were about 3 feet tall in full sunlight and produced very well. Fruits were consistently around 12 ounces and were available until late in the season. Perfect for sandwiches, sauces, slicing, fresh eating, garnishing and more. Recommended! -

This year I again hit the jackpot with Apricot Brandywine tomato and some others. I am very pleased to say that this is a super good tomato.

It's a great candidate for tomato sandwiches and a sweet white tomato sauce. Skinny vines produce a good amount of fruits, but need to be staked early. Vines have also demonstrated good disease resistance for us. You can expect fruits all the way until frosts. These sell very well for me at the Farmers' Market too. I have had many repeat customers, just for White Oxheart. Feel free to visit our other oxhearts. This is a really good tomato! 80 Days. See It on YouTube. -

I wanted to try Accordion Orange tomato because of it's unique looks and also on a recommendation that it had good taste. Both were correct. It certainly was unique in it's look, but it also made some fantastic tomato sauce. I like that it is not too juicy, so dehydrating was easy. Dehydrated bits were so flavorful that it will be one of my go-to varieties for this purpose. Fruits have hollow cavities that may be perfect for stuffing. When eaten fresh, this variety is mild and sweetish. It also keeps well, much better than many varieties considered to be keepers. This is a great variety for a multiplicity of applications. Worth Growing! -

Mermaid tomato is a very unique. A nice sized slicer, this beautiful fruit has very nice flavor too.

Fruits can reach 1 pound, but most are around 12 ounces. Vines are prolific and vibrant! Before full ripeness, fruits are a light yellow/whitish color, then burst into a beautiful red and yellow splashed, bi-color. On the inside is a light marbling of pink and yellow. This display is much lighter than some other popular large bi-color types. Tomatoes are juicy, slightly fruity, sweetish and satisfying. A very nice slicing tomato! -
When I first heard about someone sharing Cherokee Purple Potato Leaf tomato seeds, I was very skeptical. Nonetheless, I decided to try them. What I got was prolific plants that produced dark colored, 8-12 ounce fruits that were tasty, sweeter and juicy. They had very good flavor but different texture to Cherokee Purple. Potato leafed plants were very disease resistant and never showed any signs of diseases. As evidence that this is a good tomato, it was one of the few varieties that raccoons attacked in our garden. Raccoons do not touch our tomatoes if they are not tasty. They kept returning these plants night after night. These are great for sandwiches, sauces, market sales and more. -
Cypress Vine Red (Ipomoea quamoclit)
One of my favorite flowers in the world, Cypress Vine Red is a stunning plant that has beautiful blooms and foliage. It produces tons of bright red, trumpet shaped flowers from mid-summer all the way to season's end. They will not stop producing until frost gets them. A big attraction for humming birds and butterflies, it's a great vine for growing on arbors, banisters or any decorative situation. Will grow well in containers too. These will reseed, so plant them some place where you wouldn't mind them coming back the following year. It's white sister is just as stunning and effective. Happy Bird watching. -
