Customer Reviews
too early to see how the plants do, but the seeds look good
Rabbits and deer chose to enjoy these before I could this year, But the seeds were high quality, the plants were growing strong, then they were gone. I will for sure grow these again next year however as I really enjoyed the ones I grew last year from seed from seedsnow.com. I have no negative memor...
This one's a must-grow. It's a longer wait for these guys than for smaller tomatoes, but it really pays off in flavor. Get these and Brandywine and never be able to eat a grocery-store tomato again.
last year when I ordered, very few of the seeds came up and I never got one plant to make it big enough to go to the garden...I plant in Jan/Feb in my greenhouse..hope the seeds I just got will do better
Thanks I will use them next year
Everything arrived right on time. Now, if only it would stop snowing, I could get these in the ground! :)
Can't wait to get these started!
I harvested a 12.5 oz and 14 oz fruit. Early fruits were largest. Sunscald, blossum end rot and cracking were a problem - normal for Central Florida in the early summer. Will grow again this fall. Really great taste.
Obviously we haven't had a chance to grow anything yet, but the package was received on time and looks great.
Order was shipped quickly and included a package of Epsom salts as an added bonus.
