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!

Great fertilizer. Used for the first time last year for my fall bulbs and they were stunning and strong come spring. Planting another 250 bulbs this fall so came back for more bulb fertilizer. I also use the Trifecta. Can’t go wrong with any of Luke’s amendments.
Great germination and very prolific.
I grew this in a straw bale garden in 2025 and really enjoyed it. It grew amazingly well and was beautiful, so I purchased more for 2026. Michigan zone 6b.
I have grown these for the last few years and they are hands down my favorite. I like romas and firm tomatoes. These remind me of mini romas. These are less prone to splitting, super easy to harvest and has a super great flavor and very meaty. YUM!
The cloves are large, full and heavy. Of the two cloves I kept (shared 2 with my daughter), 12 were large enough to plant, 1 will be consumed.
