Introducing Persimmon and San Marzano 
The persimmon tomatoes I grew last year were spectacular. I liked the full and robust flavor, good disease resistance, minimal skin cracking, and vigorous production.
I found these San Marzano seeds in a store while in Tuscany last year. This will be my first plum tomato in quite some time. This variety is highly regarded for salads, canning, and paste.
Repeats and old favorites:
Homer Fikes Orange- Great medium sized heart shaped orange, juicy, good acidity for an orange
Marvel Striped- Huge yellow with red marbled flesh, green shoulders, mild acidity sweet
Santa Clara Canner-Medium sized red vigorous producer, excellent old fashioned tomato taste, great disease resistance. Similar to "ACE" but much fuller flavor
$1 each if you bring your container and soil mix. $5 in my gallon container and potting mix. My suggestion for potting soil is Miracle Grow peat moss. Ready to sell approx 4/20. Approx 4” tall. Grown in semi-outdoor environment so they are already broken in to the elements and should not have any transplanting shock
IMPORTANT NOTE: Please contact me with your name, phone number and best time to call. I will call you back shortly to answer any questions. I won't answer emails without this information. Thank you for your understanding.
I'll most likely have new varieties depending on which of the them are successful for me this year.
