Heirloom Tomatoes Cherry Tomatoes
Hillbilly Potato Leaf: Heirloom:
Large bicolor (yellow/red) tomato, incredibly beautiful with a deep, rich tomato taste

Fargo Yellow Pear: Pear-shaped light yellow cherry tomato with a light, low acid sweet taste.
Black Krim Heirloom:
This deep purple and red slicing tomato hails from Russia and has an amazing taste.
Green Doctors: This green-when-ripe cherry tomato heirloom is sweet, low-acid and delicious. When ripe, the green looks a bit frosty.
Garden Peach: Heirloom:
Named after its soft fuzzy skin and light sweet taste, this tomato is one of my favorites. Blushes pink when ripe.
Supersweet 100: Classic red cherry tomatoes. One plant can grow up to 30 feet if not pruned and will produce hundreds, if not thousands of bright, sweet lovely little tomatoes that are hard to keep because you'll eat them right off the vine!

Golden Jubilee: Mid-sized yellow tomato with bright taste, brings the joy to a tomato salad.

Other Vegetables
6-Pack Bush Bean Variety Pack
Healthy, beautiful bush bean seedlings that do not require poles. 3 Varieties included: Dragon's Tongue, Provider and Royal burgundy. We like to lightly sautee them with olive oil, and salt and pepper at the height of bean season to preserve their true taste. One of my favorite dishes.
