Description
Deep red, shiny 2 inch oblong tomatoes in large clusters of 12-18 fruits. Their flavor is rich and delicious. We love them in salads but they are also excellent for sauces and salsas. Indeterminate, 60 days. 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.

This will be my first attempt in trying to grow Chinese Lanterns. The plants I received were good sized, healthy appearing and packaged securely. I have them in my windowsill for now and will later place in an outdoor planter when our weather warms up. Received promptly. I am very satisfied with my purchase.

I had a get experience buying from Hirt’s. My items shipped quickly, were package great and everything looks wonderful. They even included a heat pack, even though I hadn’t asked for one.

Plant roots were delivered fast. Extra roots were given which is nice. They were all in great condition. Now I am waiting for their sprouting. Cross my fingers.
