Chocolate cherry tomato. I've seen a lot of claims for the blackest tomato but I think the little Chocolate Cherry wins hands down. The inset picture shows it compared to a red tomato. It is dark, rich brown with green seed gel. It is a sweet little jolly to pop in your mouth when working in the garden. And, it's healthier than red tomatoes because it is higher in antioxidants than red ones. These are great on a vegetable dip platter and it really looks attractive if you have a mix of black, red, white, green, and yellow cherry type tomatoes This is an indeterminate tomato and the fruit is borne in clusters of 8 or so.

The most notable, at the Cornell Research farm.

Pink grapefruit is an indeterminate plant that bears huge pink fruit. Pink fruit is less acidic than red fruit but is still very flavorful. The heaviest fruit my plants bore were 12 oz. but I have heard of them approaching a pound. Good size for sandwiches.


This offer is for 10 seeds, a sample pack.

Germination is relatively easy and I will provide instructions with the seeds for starting them and growing the subsequent plants.

Seeds are shipped in a bubble wrap envelope with growing instructions for $2.10 Unlimited seeds ship for this price. Seeds ship free with plants and other non-plant items from my store.


I ship worldwide for flat rate of $3.00 for unlimited quantity of seeds, but NOTE: I am not responsible for long delivery times due to customs or slow boats or if your plant inspectors confiscate or kill the seeds. It usually takes 1-2 weeks for delivery to most parts of the world with it taking closer to 3 weeks to Australia and New Zealand.

Featured tomato: Muchamiel

Muchamiel, Spain. The name means lots of honey. This indeterminate plant bears small to medium size tomatoes that are flattened, slightly pleated, red, and sweet. Makes an interesting addition to summer salads, sandwiches and home made fresh salsa...especially mixed with red, white, yellow, pink, and black tomatoes. What's so special about heirloom tomatoes?  The idea that an heirloom is a  variety that has been grown by generations and passed down from person to person is really very fascinating. And they just taste better.
