The wonderful tomato varieties I selected for the TomatoFest Gourmet Tomato Seeds Collection are a perfect gathering of splendidly colorful and exceptionally flavorful tomatoes. These are tomato varieties I've grown consistently for many years. I put this collection together to dazzle you with pleasures. The Blondkopfchen heirloom tomato is the perfectly sweet snacking tomato. Garden Peach heirloom tomato is sure to capture the attention and gratitude of anyone you share these with. The Paul Robeson, my favorite black tomato, offers huge flavors with sweet earthy flavors and enough acid to shout out, "Now THIS is a tomato." Hillbilly is probably one of the sweetest heirloom tomatoes I grow. Julia Child heirloom tomato, which I named for my friend the world-famous cook, is a luscious dark-pink beefsteak tomato that you will want to grow year-to-year.
The Gourmet Tomato Seeds Collection is for the gardener who wants it all from their tomato gardening experience...and it comes with "bragging rights" to those less fortunate. Remember that if you do not wish to plant out all the tomato seeds in this collection, your seeds should remain viable for 2-4 more years if stored in a cool, dark, dry location.
A selection of Gary's favorite heirloom tomatoes. A perfect gift for a Tomato Lover! This collection contains individual packs of organic heirloom tomato seeds of the following heirloom tomato varieties:
- Black Zebra Heirloom Tomato (2-inch round fruits with a red-mahogany color and dark stripes, a fantastic sweet/acid flavor)
- Blondkopfchen Heirloom Tomato (German for 'little blond girl," 1/2-inch, sweet & tangy golden cherries)
- Box Car Willie Heirloom Tomato A slightly flattened New Jersey variety by Joe Bratka's father. Produces 10 to 16-ounce, smooth, bright-red with an orange tinge. These excellent tasting tomatoes are very juicy and because they are so dependably tasty and abundant throughout the season, Box Car Willie is a staple in many home gardens. Good resistance to disease and cracking.
- Brandywine OTV Heirloom Tomato (1-lb, bright red, slightly fluted on top, with beautiful flavor and texture)
- Costoluto Genovese Heirloom Tomato Italian, heat-loving, heirloom tomato that has been enjoyed for many generations along the Mediterranean. Large, deep-red fruits have a singularly fluted profile, are deeply ridged, and heavily lobed. Meaty, full-flavored, slightly tart, and delicious. Because of its scalloped edges, perfect for use in an arrangement of different colored sliced tomatoes. Makes a rich and pungent pasta sauce.
- Garden Peach Heirloom Tomato Small 2 oz. delicate and meaty fruit. Really does have a peach color outside. Hint of red inside. Very mild-sweet taste. Light fuzz on fruit and leaves. A very pretty novelty tomato.
- Hillbilly Heirloom Tomato (old 1-2 lb., W. VA beefsteak, yellow with red streaks with lots of sweet flavors)
- Julia Child Heirloom Tomato (Potato-leaf plant producing lots of 4-inch, deep-pink, lightly-fluted, beefsteak fruits with robust, tomatoey flavors)
- Orange Strawberry Heirloom Tomato (3-inch, bright orange, oxheart with tropical fruity taste)
- Paul Robeson Heirloom Tomato (Russian, 8-oz, dark purple, big, rich tomatoey taste)
