Description
TOMATO: Tomatoes are rich in vitamins and antioxidants, and the seeds are high in fiber. The green parts are mildly poisonous, which is not surprising, as tomatoes are closely related to both nightshade and tobacco. The tomato was originally believed to be poisonous when introduced into Europe, and was used solely as an ornamental plant during the 16th and 17th centuries. The first traces of its use as a food date back to the first half of the 18th century. Tomatoes are now a tasty ingredient in many dishes, and are used fresh, canned, stewed or even sun-dried. 44 days. It’s amazing! The first tomato to ripen by Independence Day! With ‘Fourth of July’ you can have garden-fresh tomatoes weeks before you ever thought possible. Each plant will be loaded with bunches of deliciously flavorful 4 ounce fruits that bear early and continuously all summer long.

I would give zero stars for this product but review wouldn’t except 0, so I had to put one star . The quality of the plants were awful. They arrived in terrible shape, almost dead. Long, leggy, yellow plants with only a few leaves at top. Contacted the seller and he was not professional at all, not understanding and was very dismissive of my issue with the plants. Would never trust buying anything from him in the future. I had greenhouses for years and sold my plants, flowers and vegetables at farmers markets and would been embarrassed to sell anything like what he sold me. Shame on him!
