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

Who says you can't grow big beefsteaks in North Id Who says you can't grow big beefsteaks in North Idaho? 

Witness Potato Leaf Yellow, (seeds from Epic Tomato man and friend, Craig LeHoullier @nctomatoman ), planted in late May, harvested this beauty on August 22. 

My second year growing this variety and once again, it is a winner with more fruit hanging on the vine. 

Weighing in at 1 pound 9 ounces,  every ounce is sweet and delicious. What a 🥓🥬🍅 she is going to make!

Put this tomato on your list for next year's garden. Plants exclusively from The Coop. 🍅
