Drought resistant

I was very nervous this year given the drought conditions we experienced in Western Pa on top of the high UV index. I had planted 10 of these tomatoe plants before the weather turned for the worse. I was amazed that all of them survived. 1 in particular really did great and has produced the fattest tomatoes compared to the other 9. I weighed one which came out to 1/2 a lb. The other 9 plants are still producing and getting big and I can't wait to weigh them. By far, this is a plant you want to grow that can withstand high heat, high UV, and lack of rain.

Small but giant flavor

I have grown these for years in high Colorado desert (irrigation required, 105 temps) and Hawaii rain forest (85 temps, and 140" of rain annually). These tolerate high rainfall, drought, humidity, desert low humidity and still perform as one of the sweetest, low acid best tasting little tomatoes I have grown. Excellent.

My favorite tomato

My husband says we always have to grow these. We love the flavor and the color.

Not my favorite

These grew well and are prolific. But the flavor isn’t anything special.

SHOW STOPPER!

I can't say enough great things about Fordhook Giant Swiss Chard from Mary's Heirloom Seeds. I just ordered 10 more packs. It is gigantic and prolific, it shrugs off the heat, is still gigantic and gorgeous mid-October, and to boot is disease resistant and almost impervious to bug damage. Did I mention it's also sweet, tender, and delicious! Buy it and you will be happy!!

Great people, honest.

ForgotAn item Mary's put the two orders into one and credited me the second fee. Fantastic info available.Along, with tips on getting the most out of your crop

Amazing!

I have a rare neurological disorder and was in a terrible flare into late Spring this year, as a result I couldn’t plant much in my garden, but I was able to get these pinkeye peas into the ground from Mary’s heirloom seeds. I was so happy I got them in, they kept producing all summer. We have limited water here, we are on a well and do not have the luxury of watering our gardens, but the peas didn’t care, they thrived in our scorching hot Arkansas summer. And of course, a huge plus is they grow above the plant so you don’t have to bend and search (which I can’t do while in a flare) for your goodies. I was able to save lots to plant next year. Thank You Mary for such high quality seeds!
