A favorite for flavor here. Beautiful smooth pink fruits from 4 to 9oz. The best for a sandwich. Bears in 70 days or less here, from transplants.

Reportedly one of the best, if not the best, of the American short-cupped show daffodils

Old House Gardens relates a 'true heirloom that has made itself at home since colonial days in old gardens throughout the South — and north through zone 6 at least. (We even have a customer growing them on the shores of Lake Superior.) With their distinctively lobed cups, our true Campernelles are early, fragrant, and full of the grace and staying-power of wildflowers. You’ll have more and more every year! Aka Large Jonquil, 13 Y-Y, 10-14”, zones 6a-8b'. Available.

Brandy Boy has very nice flavor, generally similar to Brandywine although not exactly the same. Its production is much more consistent than Brandywine, though, and the fruits have fewer defects as well.

We grew this one for the first time in 2013. We loved the flavor and it produced well for us. Would grow it again.

Has naturalized to become an invasive weed in many areas, spreading by rhizomes and seed.

Introduced in 1908 by the Bonnie Plant Farm, this is a famous old canning tomato. Round, flavorful, medium sized fruit, a good producer that makes a great slicer too.

70 days. Dwarf plants that do not need staking or pruning. The 3" dark red heirloom fruits are produced even in cold, damp weather.

80 days. Seeds collected from hot southern part of Iraq, so seem well adapted to hot weather. Beautiful round fruit has a delicious flavor.

Ahhhhhh.....Early Girl! My all time favorite (along with Husky Cherry). This is a good producer, & disease resistant. Love the taste. Excellent for slicing on sandwiches, in salads, & for the best tomato soup ever! A good all round staple in my garden. This is one I always grow.

I grew Cherokee Purple 2 years ago. Great fruit set, & very tasty, but very difficult to handle. The fruits are thin skinned, as are most heirlooms, & would split when picked. Although the taste & the look are great, I won't grow them again.

I've grown this cultivar since I started this present garden about 15 years ago. This tomato is dependable, produces well, and tastes really good. It's usually my "main tomato."
AAS winner 1984. Semi-determinate. 70 days.

I will never again waste space on this variety. Found them to be staggeringly bland. As far as the plant itself....It grew very well and got to be fairly large, producing huge numbers of fruit. Not sure what others see in this variety other than the fact that it's rather cute.

These plants were exceptionally productive for me during the 2013 season. Fantastic flavor, great for slicing.

A very tasty pink tomato. Heirloom. This tomato is dense and juicy with a thin delicate skin. Old-fashioned type. Fruits average 1-2 lbs.

I originally started to just grow heirlooms but decided to try this one simply because it was on sale. Were we ever surprised! It was super productive with a nice acidity that reminded me of tomatoes I ate growing up. A bit smaller tomato but the amount of fruit it set more than made up for it. We now grow this one every year.

Very big and flavorful green heirloom tomato. It was a surprise to our customers just how good it tasted when we gave samples at market. It has been added to our keeper list.
