AnnualIndeterminate - Dating back to the mid-1800’s, this Russian variety is a rust orange beefsteak style tomato that looks exactly like a persimmon when fully ripe. Plants will produce heavy yields. Great slicing tomato. The tomatoes are low acid and therefore have a shorter shelf life. Good for slicing, sandwiches, and salads.
First time growing this variety. Started them late outside, just under a canopy. No grow lights etc, no particular seed starting mix and still got every seed planted to germinate right on time. I look forward to enjoying these later in the season. As always my MI Gardener experience from gathering information on what I wanted to grow this year to planting has been a great one! I would recommend trying this variety and definitely using MI Gardener for any future needs.
Will be planting these in my 2025 garden, couldn’t be more excited
Can’t wait to grow these
Started setting fruit in May, which were ready to harvest in July, but we couldn't get to them until we took care of our rodent problem in August. The rats and mice just love them, and you will too, given the chance.
So excited to plant this particular 🫶🏽tomato!
Germanated quickly on a heat mat. Off the mat and growing ready to transplant early/mid april. Excited for leeks this autumn
Last year I bought seeds from my local store and I didnt get anything to germinate. This year I purchased all my seeds from MIGardener and I've had to give seedlings away cause nearly all the seeds sprouted!!!
Great germination! I'm excited to see how the onions turn out
My only complaint is that I was not prepared for how well and fast all of the seeds would grow soI had to pot up earlier than expected! I am very happy with all of the seeds I have purchased from here!
I think I got near perfect germination on these. Cauliflower has always been challenging for me to time it out and know when to harvest. I've been learning that crops that have purple or reds in them (looking at my red lettuce varieties and purple sprouting broccoli) seem to bolt less quickly than their green counterparts in heat.
