AnnualIndeterminate (25 seeds) - Named for the old timey country singer, this tomato is as classic as they come. Plants will produce pounds of 6-8 oz. tomatoes perfect for slicing. A good balance of sweetness and acidity make for a truly classic tomato flavor. Seeds are small and fruits ripen uniformly. A first choice for many market gardeners and chefs. Makes wonderful ketchup, spaghetti sauce, tomato soup, and is great eaten raw on sandwiches, burgers, or right off the vine.
The packet and seeds looks healthy; however, they won't be planted until February.
So far, so good! Seeds are sprouting and there were plenty in each packet. Plus, such variety. Thank you!
Boxcar Willie Tomato
All of the seeds I started germinated. That is why I keep coming back to buy more seeds from you guys. Thank you!
I'm not 100% sure that the tomato seeds we grew from the seed packet were Boxcar Willies, they started green, turned yellow, then turned orange, and if left on the vine for a long time they would turn red, BUT they were delicious! We enjoyed harvesting them when they turned orange, the flavor was subtly fruity, only slightly acidic, and delightfully mild. At this point in my life, I think I can safely say it's the best tasting tomato I've ever tasted. So, I'm not 100% sure that what we grew was actually a Boxcar Willie or not, but we loved it, saved seeds, and will be growing it again next year!

First time ever growing chia . 2 out of the 3 came up. Still little seedlings so far so good.
I love these seed trays! Super sturdy!
Excellent choices of varieties, all of which grow great in my area. I can't wait to winter sow them in a month or two. From past experience I have complete confidence that they will germinate and produce. Thanks, MIGardener!
Fun way to get new interesting varieties in the garden, I love the grab bags! My sister and I have purchased these for the last few years and we make a big deal about the big reveal. We video-call each delivery (we both purchase more than one set) and play some sort of game or announcement of each packet . It’s the highlight of fall and helps us get over the end of gardening season blues!
The taste of this tomato is super sweet. I made pico de gallo and it was a treat. I got a one pound tomato in my grow bag.
