Black Krim: Fedco says "(80 days) Open-pollinated. Indeterminate. Don’t wait too long to harvest this delicate heirloom tomato. At half green and still firm they are already dead ripe and perfectly delicious. If you wait till they are fully purple, you will not be able to get them from garden to table intact (to say nothing of market) and they will disintegrate like a hunk of road-kill. Krims are strikingly iridescent purple on the outside, usually with dark green-black shoulders and noticeable catfacing. Interiors are part black, too, with an unusual juicy yet meaty taste and texture, described as having “…a smoky flavor like a good single malt scotch.” Fruits average 12–18 oz. Krim hails from Krymsk on the Black Sea in Russia"

German Johnson: Fedco says "(80 days) Open-pollinated. Indeterminate. An old heirloom probably from Virginia or North Carolina. This large regular-leaf plant, one of the parents of Mortgage Lifter, is known for its copious yields of pink meaty fruits often exceeding 1 lb, mild with more than a touch of sweetness."

Honeydrop cherry: Grown from our homegrown seed that originated from Fedco seed years ago. We think of these as grape-type, elongated pinkish cherries. The description in Fedco's 2025 catalog describes it as honey colerd: https://www.fedcoseeds.com/seeds/honeydrop-organic-cherry-tomato-4106 . Either way, it's a delicious cherry tomato.

Sheboygan paste tomato: Fedco says "(80 days) Open-pollinated. Indeterminate. In making their way from their Baltic nation to Sheboygan, WI, Lithuanian émigrés of the late 19th and early 20th century surely left much behind. But this productive pink paste tomato, 6 ounces and subtly tapered to a rounded tip, was held tight in passage. We discovered why in our 2020 trials: resonating, smooth and simply full, like a tomato-cello playing in your mouth. Enjoy fresh, canned and sauced, especially for Balandeliai, Lithuanian cabbage rolls with tomato-sour cream sauce. Regular leaf-type."
