Tomatoes

All tomato seeds are organically grown in healthy soil with no use of pesticides or chemical fertilizers. The seed are of the best quality, selected by hand from the second truss of minimum 5 plants of each variety. Only fully mature disease free tomatoes have been used for seed. The seeds are fermented to avoid any disease that could be spread with the seeds. Note I have a limited quantity of tomato seeds in stock; choose an alternative sort with your order.
