Featured tomato: Green Grape
Green Grape. This is an indeterminate plant with grape shaped cherry tomatoes that ripen lime green. It is a very flavorful tomato with a complex, fruity flavor. Bears well with fruit coming in trusses of 6-8. Great on a vegetable dip platter with white, red, yellow, orange, and black cherry tomatoes. Great for garden grazing as well.

Featured tomato: Woodle Orange
Woodle Orange. I love the name of this tomato.It does bear large, round orange fruit abundantly on indeterminate plants. Tasty if somewhat mild (less acidic). Great addition to fresh salsa and salads. Limited quantity.
Featured tomato: Black Star
Black Star. This is the first year I've grown this tomato. I got the seeds for this variety from Germany. The name on the packet was in English making me think it is a variety from an English speaking country. Sorry, I've forgotten to take a picture of it, but it is black, round, and is medium in size. It would have been more productive if a storm hadn't broke the stake and the plant at the base. Consequently, I only have a limited amount of seed. If you are interested, you best get them now. I will sell them until they are sold out. The taste is good, like a tomato ought to taste and could be used for fresh eating as well as for sauce.
Featured tomato: Porec
Porec. I understand a little Slovene which is similar to Croatian. I believe the name to be pronounced "porehch" or "porehts". It's difficult to determine because it'snot known whether there is a carrot over the c. This indeterminate plant bears small to medium red tomatoes with a good yield. Good taste and it is quite meaty. This is a very rare variety from Croatia. 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.What's so special about heirloom tomatoes?

Featured tomato: Schemmig Striped Hollow
Schemmig Striped Hollow. German heirloom. This is one of my more interesting varieties. It is somewhat like a pepper inside. The top can be sliced off and the seeds are stuck in the center for easy removal. There is very little meat inside but the walls are nice and thick for stuffing. It is red with gold stripes, The tomato themselves are medium in size. A perfect serving for a stuffed tomato. Has been productive for me. Interesting flavor.
Featured tomato: Humer
Humer/Humar This offer is for the seeds of the rare Ukrainian heirloom tomato Humer or Humar. This is a medium size, slightly pointed round tomato that is orange in color.
