- Maryam P.CT, United StatesVerified BuyerRated 3 out of 5 stars8/15/26Beautiful but bland
I’ve had no issues with germination or growing these beautiful tomatoes, but I won’t bother again. They taste like a bland grocery store tomato; fine but uninspiring. Other varieties I’ve grown this season like 1884 or Cherokee Purple were delicious so I don’t think it’s my garden. I’m gardening in New England.

- Angela H.CA, United StatesVerified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars1/28/26All sprouted
So far the seedlings are little but they all sprouted in about 12 days, I was even able to thin a few and put them in their own pots. Can’t wait to see how big and strong they grow!
