The best!

Last years order was great, so I got 3 of the Red Robin Tom. plants. They arrived healthy & sturdy-the packaging is perfect for delicate plants! Transplant them into a raised bed, watered & fish fertilized. Hot & sunny = growth and plenty of adorable green tomatoes. The best part is that I know from last year that R.R. toms are absolutely delicious! They taste like toms are supposed to- they way they used to from Moms garden. I’m very happy with this order.

Small and Compact Plant

Small but mighty plant, very sturdy and compact. A tad slower to produce, but produces abundantly once it gets going. A real space saver.

Red Robin tomatoes

Healthy and packed full of tomatoes, too hot lately for color change but worth it. Mini tomato plants I will grow every year.
