Indeterminate - The Paul Robeson tomato is a renowned heirloom variety celebrated for its rich, complex flavor and striking appearance. Produces medium-sized, deep maroon to blackish-red fruits with a unique, smoky-sweet taste. Paul Robeson tomatoes are perfect for slicing, making them a favorite for sandwiches and salads.
Interesting that some did not germinate at all, but I will attribute that to my first year learning curve. I learn so much from Luke's videos regarding germination, and the price and variety of seeds at MIGardener is outstanding.
We’ve tried many different varieties of tomatoes over the past few years and this one is at the top of the list. Lovely flavor!
I’m one of those people that don’t like the taste of a tomato by itself l, but these ones are so delicious! I love them on a chicken sandwich or burger. These grew beautifully if the PNW zone 8B!
I'm growing in suburban Ohio, Zone 6b. I first planted Paul Robeson in 2023, and it quickly became my favorite heirloom slicing tomato. The flavor is complex and not quite like any other tomato I've tried. (My son, who generally does not like tomatoes at all, says these are OK.) The plants are also very productive for a larger heirloom variety. I have tried Cherokee Purple and Black Krim in the past, and this variety beats them hands-down for flavor and production.
For 2024, I planted saved seeds, starting indoors on March 27, then transplanting two into the garden on April 30. I harvested the first tomato on July 4. In all, I harvested 84 tomatoes off those two plants, despite some pest and disease pressure and a very dry summer. Most tomatoes. Most of the fruits ranged from 8 to 10 ounces, though I have gotten them as large as 1 pound (see photos). Late in the season, some were scarcely larger than a cherry tomato.
Seeds were good quality. Might be user error (I tried out Luke’s core gardening deep watering method that season) but these cracked on me relentlessly. Very thin skin. A bit sad because they looked gorgeous on the vine. Zone 9B.

Great seed quality!
I grew this pepper plant in a 20 gallon pot and it did very well. It produced dozens of small peppers that were spicy—hotter than your standard jalapeno. I put about 3 of these in my salsa to spice it up along with 5-7 whole jalapeños (I roast them which takes out a portion of the yea). This little plant produced so many peppers that I froze a gallon bag of them to use in recipes throughout the year.
I am loving this squash! It grows so long and has beautiful leaves. I grow it upward and loves it! I have harvested at least 3-4 on one plant already. The remainder of the blooms are male, and I am not sure if I will have any more. :( I have, however, planted more in the mean time hoping I will harvest as many as this one. I will definately grow more!. Thank you!
All is well and great service...
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!
