Here's a sample of today's harvest:Top row L-R: Zapotec, Coeur du Boeuf Ananas, Valdichiana.Middle row: Black Krim, Greater Baltimore, Gold Metal.Bottom row: Taxi, Tlacolula Gold, Marmande French.Excellent tomato flavor in each of these. None disappoint. Pick one to add to your garden next year.#thecoeurdalenecoop #heirloomtomatoes #topchoice #organictomatoes #homegrownisbest ... See MoreSee Less

Heirloom tomatoes 🍅🍅
Organic gardening 🥕🌶
& Urban chickens! 🐔🐓

Problem: You want to harvest homegrown tomatoes fr Problem: You want to harvest homegrown tomatoes from July until October, but your garden is the size of a postage stamp (remember them?).

Solution: Dwarf Mini Marzano and Dwarf Minibel!

Even if you have loads of space, you'll want these two dwarf cherry tomato plants. At under 18 inches tall, these plants produce gobs of snacking tomatoes ALL SEASON LONG! 

Don't go without! Put them on your list for next season. We'll have them in stock!

(The green striped tomatoes are Emerald Flame, another fantastic Dwarf variety).
