I first grew German Head tomato in 2008. Since then I have always wanted to grow it again. So I puled out my 2008 saved seeds and grew out a few. They again produced some of the meatiest tomatoes that you will find. old fashioned is how I would describe German Head. flavorful, balanced, lots of meat and even amounts of juice. This is a very safe tomato to grow if you want certainty. It will not disappoint. Vines produce big beefsteaks that can easily surpass one pound. Perfect sandwich tomato. Great for market sales, slicing and tons more. Recommended! -

Dwarf 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. -
I first grew Ispolin tomato in 2017. It blew me away with its consistency, fruit size, production and hardiness. I soon realized that it was a great to grow as a main crop.

You can expect your first ripened fruits about 85-90 days after transplant. Get ready for plenty awesome beefsteaks! -
There is a special spot in my heart for Raspberry Oxheart tomato. It is one of the prettiest fruits that you would ever see. Smooth clean fruits weigh about 6-10 ounces and ripen to a nice raspberry color. It's just not pretty, it's exceptionally good! Juicy, fragrant, meaty, sweet and bold, is how I would describe Raspberry Oxheart! Fruits ripen about 75 days after transplant. Great sauce tomato too! -
72 Days. I grew these out in 2016 and again in 2017. They were consistent and great looking fruits. Honestly, I snacked on these so much that I totally did not save enough seeds.

Eva Purple Ball Tomato has long been one of my most reliable varieties. I thought I had them listed before but I didn't so I grew them out again in 2021 and here they are.

Old Wyandotte Tomato
It's been a long tome since I experienced a yellow tomato with such full flavor! Don't get me wrong, I have grown some outstanding yellows, but there is something about Old Wyandotte tomato that aligns with my taste-buds. These have a very good sweet/acid balance. What I like a lot is how rich they are. Old Wyandotte is the perfect old fashioned yellow and works excellently for sandwiches. Not too juicy or over the top on anything, just perfect! Regular leafed plants produce plenty, though not prolific! Expect fruits from 10 ounces to 1 pound that begin to ripen around mid-season. Great choice for any tomato garden! -

Ask 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! . -
Among our favorites this year, Morado de Fitero tomato is an impressive variety. Similar in taste to Fleur de Reagir, I enjoyed growing these. My anticipation remained high just thinking about harvesting more each day. Morado de Fitero fruits can easily reach 1.5 pounds and plants are hardy. This tomato is deceptively great for sauce. If you love your tomato sandwiches, it is a superb choice. It's a stronger tasting tomato with really good old time flavor! So it wouldn't get lost behind your sour doe bread or louder cheeses. Fruits are weighty and have a nice trim feel to them. A nice selection for the market! -
A prolific slicer, this is one you have to get ready for. Chalk's Early Jewel tomato is a wonderful little slicer that I absolutely love growing.

Perfect for slicing, sandwiches, tomato juice and tons more! Try a few plants in your garden. -
What a ride I had growing Mrs Benson tomato! Easily one of the most memorable varieties in 2021. Potato leafed plants were huge producers of one pound fruits, a few were larger. This gem could easily be a main crop for vendors. As far as taste, Mrs Benson didn't disappoint. We sliced many of ours, only to experience a full flavored tomato with very nice texture and aroma when fully ripened. This tomato left nothing to be desired. Balanced and inviting! Totally worth re-growing, and I will in 2022! A must try! Highly Recommended! -
Dwarf Numbat Tomato
Dwarf Numbat Tomato was a nice little find for us in 2020. Short plants produced heavy crops of large cherries that were great for canning, snacking and even slicing. Taste for us was mild and tart and tasty. Our plants were about 2-2.5 feet tall and started ripening fruits about 70 days after transplant. A beautiful marbling of greens and yellows, Numbat will work well in small garden spaces as well as in containers. -

When my friend Terry from Secret Seed Cartel sent me these seeds, I was so excited. I know that everything she sends me grows and taste great, so I was looking forward to growing this out.

Gold Berries Tomato
A small cherry anthocyanin fruit that turns darker on top and yellow on the bottom end, Gold Berries tomato is a pleasure to grow and eat.

Lightning Tomato
Lightning tomato is a superb sauce and cooking variety. Determinate plants produce heavy crops of deep red, 3-4 ounce, slightly elongated fruits. I made some really great sauce with these. They should also make great canning tomatoes. Our three feet tall plants never showed any signs of diseases. They just produced their crops and expired. I especially loved that they were early producers. I picked the first ripened fruits about 72 days after transplant. Taste was mildly sweet with nice acidity. Balance as good for an early variety. It's a rare cultivar. Seed Source: Gatersleben Russia, LYC 3874 -
Madajar Tomato is a large meaty beefsteak variety. I love these for sandwiches and even diced up in salads. It's very meaty and is the perfect sandwich variety. On a sliced platter with other varieties, it stands out. These have very little seeds so save them well. Our biggest fruits reached 18 ounces and the smallest ones were about 10 ounces. It took about 83 days for us to realize our first ripened fruits but it was well worth it. Madajar is sweet, fleshy/meaty, full-flavored and has good old time feel. A winner at the market. Production is good but not prolific. A good beefsteak for anything beefsteak tomatoes can do!
