No stock photos. No staged shots. These are actual harvests from my backyard in Southern California.

If I can grow these, you can too.

Brandywine Pink tomatoes

Heirloom with exceptional flavor. Thin-skinned beefsteaks, 8-16 oz (largest hit 2 lbs!). Consistently in top 3 national taste tests.

Cherokee Purple tomatoes

Cherokee Purple

Heirloom must-grow. Dark meat, thin skin, absolutely great tasting. 10-12 oz fruits. Grows to about 6 feet tall.

San Marzano tomatoes

San Marzano

Chef's favorite for sauces and canning. Thicker flesh, fewer seeds, stronger and sweeter than Roma. Great for cooking.
