Heirloom Tomato seedlings
I have several different types of heirloom seedlings ready to plant. They are 3.00 each. I am able to drop them off or meet for drop off in the Northport/Tuscaloosa area.
They types I have remaining are:
Cherokee Purple- 3
Gold Medal- 7
German Pink- 5
Green Zebra- 9
Mexico Midget- 6
Martino's Roma- 3
Italian Heirloom-6
Hungarian Heart-6
Below is a description of each: Cherokee Purple
Uniquely colored dusty rosebrown fruits weigh up to 12 ounces. Delicious sweet flesh. Indeterminate, 75-90 days from transplant.
Gold Medal
Introduced as Ruby Gold by John Lewis Childs of Floral Park, New York, in his 1921 catalog. Ben Quisenberry renamed it Gold Medal and listed it in his 1976 catalog: “The sweetest tomato you ever tasted. The yellow with streaks of red makes them very attractive and a gourmet’s joy when sliced.” Our finest bi-colored tomato—orange-yellow splashed with tomato pink. Indeterminate, 75-90 days from transplant.
Green Zebra
Olive yellow 1½ - 2½" fruits with deep green zebra stripes. Sweet zingy flavor. Very productive plants. Indeterminate, 75-80 days from transplant.
Italian Heirloom
Outstanding heirloom from Italy. Plants are loaded with red fruits weighing over a pound. One of the most productive varieties. Excellent full tomato flavor. Ideal for slicing and canning—very little waste and easy to peel. Indeterminate, 70-80 days from transplant.
Mexico Midget
Hundreds of ½-¾" dark red cherry tomatoes on each plant. Huge tomato flavor for such small fruits. Great for salads or selling in pints. Plants produce throughout the entire growing season. Indeterminate, 60-70 days from transplant.
Martino's Roma
Italian heirloom with pretty rugose (puckered) foliage. Very heavy set of mild 2-3 ounce fruits perfectly suited for making sauce, salsa, and paste. Tends to fall off the vine when fully ripe. Indeterminate, 75 days from transplant.
Hungarian Heart
Huge pink oxheart fruits weigh upwards of one pound. Very few seeds and almost no cracking. One of our favorites for fresh eating, canning, and for making roasted tomato sauce. Indeterminate, 85 days from transplant.
German Pink
Potato leaf plants produce large 1-2 pound fruits. Meaty flesh with few seeds, very little cracking or blossom scars. Full sweet flavor. Excellent for canning, freezing and slicing. Indeterminate, 85 days from transplant.

Jessica,

Hi, Yes they all can but the mexico midgets which are the small cherry tomatoes are the best. But they all would do well as long as they are in a big enough pot in a sunny location and are regularly watered.

Kristy- I have a few peppers for 2.00 each but they are slightly smaller than what you would get at the store. I have 3 red bell, 1 green bell and 1 fish. They are all Heirloom's as well. Next year I will have heirloom tomatoes, peppers and eggplant but this year (I just had a baby) I only did tomatoes. I also have basil for 2.00 each. Let me know if you are interested. Thanks, Jessie
