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.
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!
best old fashioned taste.this takes me back to my childhood. these tomatoes taste awesome. migardner seeds always sprout and never fail.

So far, everything we have purchased has had an almost 100% germination rate. And what sprouts has grown quickly and strongly. We are now big fans of MIgardener seeds!
I’ve had issues trying to germinate seeds bought from big box stores. Come to find out they are old and a waste of money. MI Gardener seeds are fresh, germinate quickly and stay good for years. My Pablo lettuce is still growing and I look forward to harvesting and eating it!
Love this green tomato! I almost missed the ripeness window because I didn’t realize that it would get the sweetest tinge of pink. (I thought it was a red tomato that was just starting to turn color, until I squeezed it!) The flavor is fresh and mild and sweet—and the color is beautiful.
Finally blooming this September to the point I’m harvesting to create soothing balms with glorious colored blooms!
I had great success with the Red Acre Cabbage. Every plant produced a nice sized head, and each weighed at least 2 pounds. The taste is great and slightly sweet. I will definitely grow this again.
