Vegetable Plants and Seeds for 2008
Growing your own vegetables has never been easier!
June update: tomatoes and most other veggies are gone for 2008!

Heirloom Tomatoes - gone for the season....they went fast this year!
Most of our tomato plants are heirloom varieties - open-pollinated varieties that were discovered and cultivated prior to 1931. Heirlooms are bursting with old-fashioned tomato flavor. They are sometimes not the most beautiful tomatoes, but we guarantee it will be love at first bite! You'll never go back to tasteless hybrids after growing one of these in your garden. All organically grown!

'Peacevine'. Indeterminate, 78 days. Small red fruits, high vitamin C content.

'Yellow Pear'. Indeterminate, 82 days. Yellow, mild flavor.

Plum/Paste Tomatoes:
'Amish Paste'. Indeterminate, 85 days. Medium-large red, solid fruits

'Roma'. Determinate, 75-85 days. Red, pear-shaped fruits are meaty with few seeds, best for sauces, pastes.
