Over 150 varieties of tomato seeds



Heirloom & Indeterminate

The classics that have been handed down for generations. They grow to an indeterminate vine length, and require supports.



Dwarf Project Seeds

An amazing non-profit world wide effort to improve genetic diversity in dwarf tomato plants by cross breeding them with heirloom and unusual varieties. The result is easier to care for 2-5 foot bushes that don’t require trimming and can thrive in containers and small spaces. The plant itself is dwarf sized, not the fruit – which some can exceed 1lb. I also have a handful of micro-dwarves that grow to less than 12 inches tall and still give fruit!



CherrIES

Often the easiest to grow, and delicious. This category has lots of colors, patterns, shapes and flavors.



Hybrids

Crossbreeds that can often be hardier than other tomatoes, but aren’t bred over generations to be able to spawn the same plant from the seeds you grow. These are often the brand name varieties you see at Home Depot.
