One of our favorites.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGardener and tomato lover Craig LeHoullier received seeds for this wonderful heirloom in the mail from John Green, who claimed the variety had been in his neighbor's Tennessee family for over 100 years and was reportedly given to them from a Cherokee farmer. He grew the tomato, fell in love with its dusky purple flesh and divine, rich flavor, perfect for slicing and sauces, and shared it with several regional seed companies, where it spread rapidly due to its scrumptious-ness. Indeterminate potato-leaf type. Open-pollinated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTomatoes are native to northwestern South America and by at least 500 BC they had been domesticated and were being cultivated as far north as modern-day Mexico, enjoyed by Aztec and other civilizations. They spread to Europe and the Caribbean through the Spanish colonizers, where they became staple parts of the food culture in many European countries as well. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eSeeds grown by Swift River Farm in Salmon, Idaho.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e30 seeds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDirections: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eStart indoors 6-8 weeks before last frost and transplant out after.
