Tel Aviv Train tomato was a new grow-out for us in 2018. Our plants produced small to medium sized cherries, that grow in medium to large clusters. These had nice texture and good fruity flavor. For us, this variety was one of the hardiest in the garden. They started producing early and ripened their first fruits around 72 days. Plants are about 5-6 feet tall. This is a good selection for canning, salads and snacking, especially in the garden! I also recommend these for sales at your tomato stand or farmer's market. A good choice for first time growers seeking an easy but rewarding experience!

Out of stockDwarf Awesome tomato is now one of my favorite dwarf varieties. 3 feet tall plants have rugose leaves and bear 6-16 ounce fruits that are as flavorful as you will ever get them. Fruits are sweet, fruity, rich, smooth and delicious. Plants are hardy too. Ours never showed any signs of diseases, even in a difficult year. What's more, plants went on to produce until frosts. This is a great tomato for just snacking straight from the garden, sandwiches, garnishing and more. They should do well in containers also, because plants are compact and hardy. Try some, you'll love them!

There is so much that can be said about Mule Team tomato! So let's just clear the air. If you are a tomato vendor, grow this one! 5-8 ounce, crack-free fruits are tasty and come in relatively early. Six feet tall plants produce like no other. You'll have plenty for your tomato stand or market sales. But that's not all! Plants are hardy, and vibrant. They are willing producers! As it pertains to taste, Mule Team has good old-time flavor and texture. It's a balanced tomato that's easy to like. Not too strong or mild. It's just right.

Taiwan Goddess tomato is a very unique variety. It's the perfect salad and snacking variety! Skinny vines reach about 5 feet tall and produce bunches of about 10-15, plum shaped cherry tomatoes. Nothing else looks like it in the garden, so you will always know where they are. These keep very well after harvest, so no rush to use them. Flavor is sweet and full, nothing missing. Fruits are not seedy. Our first fruits began to ripen about 70 days after transplant. It takes about 1.5 weeks for the entire cluster to ripen. Crunchy, tasty and prolific too! These should do well in containers!

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!

If production, disease resistance and taste are what you are after, Yubileyny Tarasenko tomato is for you! I have grown a lot of tomatoes from the Tarasenko series and I love them all. But this one is perhaps the most prolific! Five feet tall vines produce huge clusters of pretty, red fruits, that are a bit larger than average cherry size. Fruits have nipples on their blossom end. That's pretty common with Mr Tarasenko's tomatoes. These are well balanced, juicy (but not too much), aromatic and really tasty. Great for snacking, salads, drying, sauces, cooking, canning and so much more! Nice shelf life!

Out of stockAsk anyone who has tasted a Leadbetter's Lunker tomato and they would tell you that it's superb! People just keep asking for more whenever they taste it. Nice sized, red beefsteaks can reach 1.5 pounds but ours averaged about 14-16 ounces. Vines produce plenty of bright red fruits that are in clusters of 3-5 and have to be staked early. If you are a seed-saver, Leadbetter's Lunker does not produce a lot of seeds, so you may have to compensate by growing a few extra plants. Perfect sandwich tomato that works well also as a cooking and slicing variety. Expect your first fruits around 85 days from transplant, then until frost! .

Looking for a very delicious dwarf variety that grows nice sized fruits? Willa's Cariboo Rose Dwarf tomato will get the job done. This beautiful beefsteak grows on tree-like plants that produce plenty, considering the size of tomatoes they produce. Our plants have shown good disease resistance, especially to early blight. Tomatoes are meaty, balanced, rich and tasty. They veer slightly on the milder side but not too much. Expect your first ripened fruits about 80 days after transplant. From that point, indeterminate plants continue producing until season's end. Some staking is necessary as plants topple with the big fruits they bear. Great choice for smaller gardens or container growing! More dwarf tomatoes Here!

Tsarskiy Podarok Dwarf tomato took me totally by surprise this year(2018). I planted it in a row with non dwarf plants and was wondering why it hadn't even grew to 4 feet tall. When I checked my notes, I noticed that it had a dwarf habit. Plants produced really nice beefsteaks that sometimes crossed one pound. most were between 10 and 14 ounces. Fruits were milder and sweetish with really good balance. Plants produced prolifically, I liked that a lot. I think our first ripened fruits were about 80 days. This tomato is a growers treat. Plants need to be well staked. Perfect for sandwiches and tons more. Try eating some right in the garden. You'd love them.

Perhaps the most prolific dwarf variety that we grew in 2018, Dwarf Mary's Cherry tomato is awesome! Inconsistent in sizes, fruits vary from 2-3 inches in diameter. Dwarf Mary's Cherry is rich and juicy. There is some sweetness and a bit of earthiness also! It's a really good tomato for snacking and fresh tomato salsa. It should really liven up your soups, the flavor is that good! Our plants did not exceed 2.5 feet tall and they began to ripen fruits early, coming in at 70 days after transplant. This variety is easily one of my top ten dwarf varieties. Another good variety for growing in containers or in the ground. Side disease resistance too!
-
Another of my favorites in 2018, Dwarf Striped Antho tomato kept my attention all season long. Short plants suitable for growing in containers also, produced round and slightly oblate fruits, that displayed nice antho on their top side. On the blossom end they were a beautiful red and yellowish striping. That combination certainly lit up our garden. Our plants were about 2-2.5 feet tall, had rugose, regular leaves, but not thick foliage. These started ripening around 72 days from transplant and continued until season's end. Dwarf Striped Antho is perfect for snacking, canning, garnish, market sales and so much more. Fruits are mildly sweet and fruity, with some beautiful earthy undertones.
-
Easily one of my favorite dwarf varieties in 2018, Dwarf Shadow Boxing tomato thrilled me from start to finish. I really loved the foliage on these babies. Plants produced 2 inch long plum shaped fruits were a bit late to ripen. When they finally started to turn, the most beautiful tri-colored antho fruits emerged. They were firm and plump with a good, sweet and balanced taste. I Made some really great salsa with them. These will work great for garnishing, cooking, dehydrating, canning and more. The best part of all, is that plants are prolific and indeterminate, so you will have plenty tomatoes until the end of the growing season. Must grow these!
-
Dwarf Solokah Tomato is a pink plum variety that is a sauce specialist. It's great for snacking too! Try cooking, canning and fresh salsa with these, they work well. Two feet tall plants are loaded with plum shaped fruits that are soft to the touch and aromatic. Plants are also prolific, so you will have plenty fruits for making your dishes. Dwarf Solokah makes some mild thicker sauce when cooked down, so if you don't like strong tasting sauces, this is the one. These will work excellently in containers. Good disease resistance, vibrant plants. Good selection for growing in the ground too!
-
Out of stockDon't let the name fool you, there is nothing sneaky about what Dwarf Sneaky Sauce tomato does. When this gem cooks down, it makes some thick , balanced sauce. It needs very little seasoning to make great dishes. So if you are a bad cook, start with these. Sauce making is not all that good about this tomato. It also makes great salsa, stews and is a good canner too! Shelf life is pretty good but not exceptional. As it pertains to taste, it is mild, sweeter and meaty. Production is good but not exceptional, so plant one or two extra plants and you will have a guaranteed awesome sauce tomato! 2-3 feet tall plants! As a side note, I made some great tomato bisque with these!
-
I planted Grunge In The Sky tomato in mid-May 2018 and never really looked back. I had no reason to. During my usual hand watering sessions, I would inspect my plants but they never developed any issues with blights. Vibrant vines started ripening their fruits about 70 days after I transplanted them. Fruits started ripening yellow, then changed to a faded bi-color as they became riper. Their interiors were beautiful, but not as bi-colored as I expected. I liked the juicy, fruity feel of this one. It's very refreshing! I snacked on them all day long as I worked in the garden. You will too!
-
One of the first black varieties that I have grown, Black Prince tomato is still one that I like to turn to every once in a while. For me, growing these is a way to be sure that I have a good salad tomato to turn to. Fruits are about 3-6 ounces, rich with some sweetness and slightly earthy. Texture is superb. I love slicing these up with a little salt and pepper. What a treat! Five feet tall plants produce plenty fruits that can be used as a main crop for market sales. These also have good texture that works well in fresh salsa. Snack on some right in the garden, they are best that way!
-
Dwarf Lucky Leprechaun tomato was the biggest surprise for us in the 2018 season. It caught me totally off guard by being the earliest variety out of 215 to begin ripening. We recorded its first ripened fruits in 62-64 days after transplant. I thought that this could be the case because there may have been some fruit setting when we transplanted it. But that was not the case, because all of our Lucky Leprechaun plants were ripening fruits at the same time. From that point they never stopped until the crop was done. Determinate plants are not taller than 2.5 feet and remain loaded. Fruits are mildly sweet and juicy. Nice flavor, not bland! A fantastic choice for early and container gardens.
-
Out of stockWhether you have grown dwarf varieties before or not, you will appreciate them when you grow out Dwarf Black Angus Tomato. This very tasty variety did well for us in our 2018 grow-outs. 2.5 feet tall, indeterminate rugose leafed plants, produced 6-8 ounce tomatoes that had very nice flavor and texture. Plants have dense foliage, so it can sometimes be difficult to see fruits. Without hurting the suckers, we pruned some of the bottom leaves to better see fruits. That worked well! Our fruits reminded me of Black Krim, but with a firmer texture. Very good sandwich tomato and more! Expect first ripened fruits about 75 days after transplant.
-
Kuzula 132 tomato was a first time grow-out for us in 2018. I found that it was a great snacking, fresh salsa, garnish, canning and cooking tomato. It leans to the milder side with some small hints of sugars and acidity in its aftertaste. Vines are prolific and never really budged for diseases. They began to ripen their fruits around 72 days after we transplanted them in the garden. Beautiful bi-color fruits were plum shaped and about 2 inches long. All in all it is a good tomato for quite a few things. I snacked on these a lot while I was in the garden, especially on hot days. They were quite refreshing! See Kozula 133.

Helsing Junction Blues tomato is an antho cherry variety. It can get much darker than some other antho types. Our vines produce plenty quarter sized fruits that were tasty and kept well after harvest. Our first fruits began to ripen around the 72 day mark after transplant. These worked well for us at our local Farmer's Market. They are milder with some sweetness and earthy after-taste. Perfect for canning, garnish, snacking, dehydrating, market sales and more. They are head-turners when green or ripened, so plant them in a spot where they can be seen. Then the conversation really begins! Happy Planting Y'all!
-
Blue Sun tomato is another new antho variety that we have introduced in 2018. Smaller sized slicing tomatoes are a lovely lime green when fully ripened and sliced. On its exterior, fruits have some nice antho on the top side and a beautiful like green on its bottom end. Juicy and milder with some sweetness, Blue Sun has a very pleasing after-taste that is a bit difficult for me to describe. Indeterminate plants were prolific and hardy. From season's start to end, our plants had no issues. our first ripened fruits appeared around 75 days after transplant. From that point they kept coming!
-
One of the prettiest antho varieties that I have grown out, Gargamel tomato certainly is a pleasure to have in my garden. This beautiful tri-colored fruit is an attention grabber when fully ripened. Plum shaped fruits are abundant on their vines. I really like how Gargamel stood up to diseases. That, along with is good taste and production are some of the reasons why it will be returning to my gardens in 2019. Good salad tomato, great for garnish, snacking, cooking, canning and more. Truly a multi-purposed variety. Ours began to ripen on day 73 after transplanting. Worth growing for sure! See it on Youtube!

When we grew these out this year we were excited to find that they were prolific too! Tomatoes are about 6-12 ounces and fruity good! Thick meat make appealing slices that have a very desirable aroma. Our indeterminate plants were leaf dense, about 4 feet tall and produced a nice amount of fruits. We recorded our first ripening tomatoes at 74 days. These are perfect for sandwiches, garnish, market sales, fresh eating and cooking. I also made some really good fried green tomato with some. Catydid is a winner! See It On YouTube.

Dwarf Saucy Mary tomato is a really unique, tasty and pretty tomato that I recommend for anyone growing dwarf varieties. If your aim is to make some tasty, green tomato sauce, give it a try. Elongated, green and yellow, bi-colored fruits measure about two inches long. They are born on determinate plants. Prolific plants are tree-like and grow to about 2.5 feet tall. Fruits begin to ripen about 75 days after transplant. Sweetish, not too juicy and medium mild, these have nice flavor and would definitely perk up your dish. Also nice for garnishing, pickling, canning, cooking and more. Good for container growing too!

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!
-
Out of stockDwarf Purple Reign tomato is perhaps the prettiest black colored dwarf that I have grown. Very smooth and crack-free fruits have superb flavor that reminds me of Black Krim. These also remind me of Chyornyi Tarasenko. They were sweeter and intense with some flavors that I cannot really describe (all good)! Our indeterminate plants were about 3 feet tall and produced plenty of 6-12 ounce fruits that were covered with thick foliage. Plants produced well all season long. A little staking was necessary because plants quickly became too heavy. Expect your first ripened fruits about 75 days after transplant. These will do well in containers also!
-
Perhaps the most prolific black dwarf variety, Dwarf Velvet Night tomato is a very formidable fruit. Softish, well balanced fruits are sweet and earthy with other great complimentary flavors. Borne in clusters of 5 or 6 , tomatoes are covered by the thick foliage. Plants are "tree like" and begin producing pretty cherry fruits quite early after transplant. Fruits also ripen relatively early, coming in about 70 days after transplant. This can be a great tomato for snacking, fresh salsa and market sales. Try dehydrating some and making tomato jam. That may work well! If you are have limited garden space, it's a good variety for containers too. 4-5 gallon recommended. Give it a try! You will love it! See It On Youtube!

Out of stockVilma mico dwarf tomato is one of my favorite micros. Eight inch plants produce nickel-sized, deep red cherry cherries that are fruity, sweeter and rich. Overall, Vilma is a very balanced tomato that kids would love. Plants produce clusters of 5-7 fruits that begin to ripen in about 65 days after transplant. 1/2 to 1 gallon containers work excellently for this wonderful little gem!
