Pruden's Purple tomato is still one of my favorite all purpose tomatoes. Slightly ribbed, 12-16 ounce fruits are flavorful, balanced and delicious. Some have said that it's a smaller version of Pink Brandywine, I think that it's better! Prolific potato leafed vines are hardy and show good disease resistance. Fruits begin to ripen around the 75 day mark.

Shimblenk tomato is one of the top 10 varieties that I grew in 2017. This beautiful beefsteak is certainly a site to behold. Sprawling vines produce really heavy crops of deep red tomatoes that can reach 1.2 pounds. When it comes to taste, Shimblenk is perfect! It's in the company of Pink Brandywine and Dester, which are two fantastic varieties. I hold this tomato in high esteem. meaty, sweet, juicy , rich and well balanced are all descriptive of this awesome variety. Perfect sandwich tomato! Great for market vendors!

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!

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.

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!

I grew Dwarf Kangaroo Paw Yellow tomato for the first time in 2018. They were really good, especially for slicing and snacking. Our plants were about 2 feet high, had rugose leaves and produced 2-4 ounce fruits that ripened to a pretty, clean yellow color. Plants also started ripen fruits around 72 days after transplant in the garden. What I liked about its flavor was that it was not too mild and had some really good fruitiness when fully ripened. Some sweetness with very little tang. These are great also for canning, making fresh salsa and more. Will work well when grown in containers or small gardens.

Happy Jack tomato is my favorite new oxheart. I am really impressed! Clean, pretty fruits are borne on very productive, wispy leaved vines with skinny stems. Biggest fruits were 8-12 ounces. These have to be staked properly! No cracking or splitting, with nice, nice flavor and texture. I didn't make anything with these but I did eat quite a few off the vine. This would definitely be a good sandwich tomato. Slices are thick and meaty. Taste is full flavored, well balanced but not strong. Texture is smooth. A realty good tomato experience! Let me know how these worked out for you!

Out of stockI first grew Orange Cream as an experiment in my basement in 5 gallon buckets under lights during the winter of 2015. The experience was fulfilling and rewarding. They produced a good quantity of 4 to about 8 ounce, yellowish tomatoes with pink stripes on the bottom end. Under T5 lights they produced their first ripened fruits in about 80 days. Later that spring, I planted some in the garden and they produced fruits at about 85 days. When fully ripened, Dwarf Orange Cream is sweet, full flavored, and juicy. It is not a very intense tomato, but it is very satisfying. A great selection for those seeking milder, sweet tomatoes. In the fields, the plants grew to about 3 feet and in containers they were 5 inches taller--make of it what you wish. Overall this is a really great tomato that has everything to like about it. I especially appreciate its good disease resistance.

Looking for a versatile tomato for your next garden? Marylin's Best tomato can be the one! It is a good selection for cooking, garnishing, fresh eating, sandwiches, sauces and lots more. This gem is truly a treasure. Nice sized fruits are pleated/ribbed and captivating. Our largest have been about 1.3 pounds, but most averaged about 12-14 ounces. Vines are taller and produce plenty fruits, but I wouldn't consider it to be a prolific variety. Our first ripened fruits in 2018 were harvested around day 84. Plants continued to put out until season's end. Plenty of meat for a ribbed variety. I recommend this variety for any tomato grower!

Krupnya Grozd Tomato
Krupnya Grozd tomato is a 10-14 ounce, red oxheart with deep flavor and nice texture! They have wispy vines that would need early staking. Production is good to excellent! When fully ripened, these are are so beautiful that you will always have your eyes on them. Ripening to a nice red, Krupnya Grozd has nice thick, semi-firm flesh and awesome aroma too. Taste is sweeter with little acidity but complete. Perfect selection for oxheart lovers. Good market and sandwich tomato. Will also do well for cooking, sauce and canning. I truly like its balanced taste. Will definitely stay in my grow-list from now on! 80 days. -
Stokes Alaska Tomato
The very first variety to ripen for us in 2019 was Stokes Alaska Tomato. That made me very happy because in a very tough spring and early summer, I needed something to lift my spirits a little. My spirits got an even bigger boost when I found out that these had good taste. I wouldn't say that it's the best thing that I ever tasted, but they were quite good. Sweetish and had some tang, I loved the texture and production. Determinate plants produce prolifically! They averaged about 5 fruits to the pound, so not small cherries. These are fantastic snackers, especially in mid-June. perfect for canning, early market tomatoes, cooking, juicing, fresh salsa and more. A wonderful way to start off the summer! 55 days. Seed Source: (Netherlands C.F.G.R 92, #CGN 14362) -
Paul Robeson European tomato is a black plum that has that big flavor of some of the better blacks. Plants are prolific and ripen fruits relatively early. This, to me, was one of the better cherry/plum varieties that I grew in 2021. Deep chocolate fruits have rich flavor that is very satisfying and will encourage garden snacking. A little softer to the touch, this is definitely a great choice for saucing, but if caught before over ripened, would make a great addition to salads. Really good aroma that is consistently tempting.
-
Crankovic Yugoslavian tomato is mid-season, red variety that can be used as a main crop fruit. Shorter vines produce plenty of perfect, 6 ounce fruits that ripen after 75 days or so. Fruits are balanced and have good old time flavor. This is not a complexed or fancy tomato. it's just straight up, real tomato with great flavor. perfect slicer, for cooking, fresh eating!
-
Fresa is a pretty, pink oxheart tomato that will fit just perfectly in your garden. Weighing about 6 ounces, this flavorful fruit stays true to the oxheart family. Fresh tomato is sweeter, meaty, has great texture and delicious! Vines are skinny, about 6 feet tall and have wispy leaves. This is a great sandwich and sauce maker. has at it!
-
Out of stock75 Days. Soldier 37 is one of my best finds in the last 10 years. It totally took me by surprise. not a fancy looking fruit, soldier 37 will light up your life once it's ripened. Fruits can reach 10 ounces. They are rich and delicious with perfect complimentary flavors that makes this tomato a winner! Hardy prolific vines!
-
If you aren't impressed by many tomatoes or don't like tomatoes at all, I suggest you give Olga Pink Heart tomato a try. True to the oxheart family, Olga packs great taste and beauty appeal. Wispy leafed vines produce huge quantities of perfect, pink heart-shaped tomatoes that are head turners. Although these are a bit late to ripen, they are absolute winners! Its sweet and dense flesh, great aroma, balanced juiciness, and thin skin, makes it a great candidate for many applications. My experience tells me that you should try them first in the garden. My experience also tells me, if you did, not many would make it to the kitchen table. These are great for sauces, salsa, sandwiches, cooking, and especially fresh eating off the vine. Staking is required because vines are skinny and tall. Try it, it's a winner!

Alexander B Tomato
Another on of my 2020 surprises, Alexander B, a rarely grown variety, was a true standout in our garden this year. Four to eight ounce fruits are very clean, blemish-free, tasty and satisfying. Seeds for these were shared with me by a friend, and I am so happy that she did. Indeterminate 5-6 feet tall plants are prolific, have many clusters of 4-6 fruits and keep producing all season long. These are sweeter and exceptionally smooth, with good balance. Texture is superb and they make perfect slicers. Great for sandwiches and fresh eating. For me, this variety is a new go-to for market sales and so much more. This is one to love! -
Fred L Potato Top Tomato is a very good tomato. Tall potato leafed plants produce 1-1.5 pound and more beefsteaks with outstanding rich flavor. Original seeds were saved by Fred Limbaugh of from Robinson, P, his father and grandfather. These have some sweetness but with good balanced. Fred L reminds me, in some ways, of Pink Brandywine as far as taste. It's not quite as consistently large and texture certainly different. Our plants were hardy and demonstrated very good disease resistance. A great market crop, sandwich ready and very tasty. I really love this one! 80 Days.

Dice's Mystery Black Tomato
Dice's Mystery Black tomato is a sweeter black variety with low acidity. It is said that a stray plant grew out of a pack of seeds of another variety. Regular leafed plants are high producers of 5-8 ounce fruits. You can expect your fruits around Mid-season. -
In 2014 I purchased a packet of Big Rainbow tomato seeds from a well known company. I grew out six plants. Five of them produced perfect Big Rainbow fruits. The other one produced some pale yellow, juicy fruits, that were about twelve ounces to one pound. They did not have any striping, nor were they bi-color inside. but they were about the same size and shape of big rainbow. They were also very refreshing, mild and tasty. In 2015 I grew them out again in my kitchen garden. This time my crop was even better. They were more prolific but produced the same fruits. Since I really enjoyed this awesome fruit, I have named Big Yellow Fellow tomato. Vines are tall and bushy, kind of like Shuntuk Giant tomato. Big Yellow Fellow tomato begins to ripen about 80 days after transplant. Stake these well and you will be rewarded. Great for tomato juice, sauce and fresh eating.
-
Charlies Green is perhaps the best green that I have grown in years. When I first grew them, somehow I missed harvesting them until the end of the season. When I finally harvested a few, I was hooked! I grew the out the following year and was totally impressed. 6-10 ounce tomatoes are fruity, juicy, full flavored and have good balance. Flesh has a smooth texture and seem to melt in your mouth. Great aroma too! You should be harvesting your first fruits about 78 days after transplant.
-
In this case, "Wonder" means wonderful! That's exactly what Chocolate Wonder tomato is. Not your average tomato, it a lot more. Think Caribbean flavors! This wonder child, has rich and complexed flavors that will impress you. Let it ripen you well and you will be tremendously rewarded. Vines produce heavy crops of 6-10 ounce, deep chocolate colored fruits, that works well as a sandwich tomato, in salsas, for garnishing, cooking and drying. How ever you choose to use it, Chocolate wonder will make you proud!
-
85-90 Days. Mr Underwood Tomato is above par! I truly wish that more people would grow this awesome tomato! My aim is to bring more exposure, not just to this variety, but to all great, undiscovered heirlooms that need highlighting. This large and juicy beefsteak is so delicious that you will bite your fingers. Try a few and see for yourself. Fruits regularly approach 1.5 pounds, so stake plants well.
-
75 Days. Barossa Fest dwarf tomato is a very prolific variety that I totally enjoy growing for the first time in 2017. Our rugose leafed plants produced lots of pretty, pale yellow tomatoes that were 3-6 ounces. Fruits were milder and had a bit of a tart after-taste. Some of our taller vines grew to about 4 feet tall, but most were shorter. These produced all the way until frost. These are perfect for salsa, eating off the vine, drying and cooking.
-
Gurensey Island tomato is a beautiful bi-color, larger cherry that grows on sprawling vines that are about 5 to 6 feet tall. It is delicious, full flavored, and rich. There is also some fruitiness, but not much. Plants are hardy and prolific and ripen their fruits about 75 days after transplant. I especially like these in salsa, sauces, for garnishing and cooking, and of course fresh off the vine. Gurensey Island needs to be staked because they quickly become loaded with fruits.
