Tomato Seed:<br />

All varieties are believed to be<br />

‘indeterminate’ (long vines),<br />

unless specified ‘determinate’<br />

(short vines). The best<br />

tasting varieties tend to be<br />

indeterminate, as most of ours<br />

are unless otherwise noted.<br />

Packets contain a min.<br />

of 25 seeds (unless stated<br />

otherwise).<br />
