Tomato Seeds 9-pack

This has been the best variety pack we've every bought in 10 years of gardening. The black krims are super tasty. We make bruschetta with it and butter tomato sauce. The yellows and cherries we eat or dehydrate. We even made a batch of fermented yellow pears. Large yield. The romas and san marzano (can't distinguish) we've canned so much already and season isn't even over. Tomatillos, BE WARNED, are huge plants! They grew like a bush and the bees love the flowers. The salsa verde was delicious. The heirloom reds are very tasty but the winner (and shocker) were the large yellow heirlooms. Great value for the money.

I recently purchased a package of tomato seeds from Home Depot for $2.48, only to come home and open the small envelope and find ZERO seeds inside. Granted, I could've shaken the package to check, but should I have to? I found these on Amazon, and with seven different varieties, they were cheaper per package with Prime. Very cute packaging and easy instructions. But the best part was how eager to grow these little seeds were. I typically plant between 4 and 7 seeds per location with the idea that some will sprout, and others won't, and then among those some will seem stronger than others. Then I 'thin' them to just one. I planted one or to locations for all seven varieties, and these little guys took off! It's like I couldn't get it wrong - it seems every seed sprouted right away, and I was sad I had to thin so many. I'm hoping I can store these in a way that will retain their viability because each package had a generous amount of seeds.

At first I was disappointed when none except the tomatillo sprout. Then I realized I had cooked the seeds by putting the pots on an outdoor black slate counter. The second batch sprouted 100%! They say sow 3 seeds for every one plant you need. I planted 4 just in case. I don’t have the heart to thin out, so we’ll be up to our ears in tomatoes come Fall. First picture is tomatillo at 6 weeks. Second picture is two of the varieties after almost 4 weeks. Third picture is backup seedlings. No room left in the garden. Giving them to my mom. Love the selection of varieties. Looking forward to the Fall harvest. 😊

Had really good luck with most of these seeds! Having issues with end rot with the Black Krim (planted right near the others). The Brandwine and Ace 55 are producing beautiful huge fruit with no issues!! San Marzano also doing very well. Everything sprouted! Will buy again!

Seeds all sprouted.

Some of the seed varieties did quite well. The Ace-55, Cherry, and Golden Jubilee seeds had an excellent germination rate and yielded sturdy seedlings. On the other hand, out of an entire packet of Tomatillo Verde, I got SEVEN seedlings. The rest were middle-of-the-road. They're going to have to taste pretty fantastic to make up for the fact I have half as many plants as I expected. This is the first time I've used Sustainable Sprout seeds -- my regular source was closed because of the pandemic. I will NOT be ordering this brand again.

While there were a couple of varieties in the pack that I did not care for, that is something to be expected anytime one purchases a variety pack. With all the late freezes that happened around here, I lost a lot of what I planted early, but my tomatoes are doing better know. I look forward to tasting the tomatoes as they appear, especially the Brandywine, which look delicious on the package. Speaking of packaging, I like that the seeds (packed in paper as usual) were also in a plastic bag. Although not the case here, sometimes the paper packaging does not hold and seeds escape. It was reassuring that the plastic bag was there just in case. Also, it is helping me keep my seed packages together for what is left over.

Didn’t work at all for the AeroGarden application. Plant grew really well, but no tomatoes. Had blossoms and they didn’t grow. They just died and fell off.
