Happy Sunday and Happy Planting Friends!

In a recent article, we shared the possible savings of Growing Food versus store-bought.  Check out our comparison

TIGERELLA TOMATO
55-75 days. Indeterminate. Tasty round fruit are bright red with orange stripes. These 2-inch tomatoes are quite beautiful. The yields are high even in cool summers, and it starts producing very early.  It also has good disease resistance. So smooth, so pretty! Originating in England; this is a good greenhouse crop


LONG ISLAND CHEESE PUMPKIN
105 days A longtime favorite on Long Island; very popular for pies. Can be traced into the 1800s.  Flat, lightly ribbed fruit look like a wheel of cheese with buff colored skin. A very good keeper of excellent quality; 6-10 lbs. each; a beautiful heirloom variety.

PURPLE TOMATILLO
70 days.  Beautiful purple fruit, large size. Many are a bright violet color throughout their flesh. Much sweeter than the green types; it can be eaten right off the plant. Turns purple when ripe.
RARE!



YELLOW SCALLOP SQUASH
50 days. Also known as Golden Custard. Beautiful, bright yellow fruit with a rich, mellow flavor. Likely predates Columbian times; a rare native American squash. Bush plants with good yields.


PINK ICICLE TOMATO
75-90 days.  Indeterminate. Very delicious, bright pink fruit are shaped like a dazzling pink icicle. The flavor is very sweet and rich.  Perfect for salsas and preserving, but also one of our favorites last season to eat fresh out of hand right in the garden. This variety is an incredible producer.


ROTONDA BIANCA SFUMATA EGGPLANT
Can you say "Super Humungous Eggplant?"
120 days. This beautiful, round, white eggplant is shaded with rose-pink color. The lovely fruit grow to large sizes, making this one of the most striking types we offer!
Excellent for market growers, this Italian heirloom is mild and delicious.
