Honest note: heirloom tomatoes crack more than hybrids after heavy rain, and Brandywine yields fewer, bigger fruit than a supermarket hybrid ever would. You trade quantity and shelf-perfection for flavor that is genuinely in another league.
Questions, answered
When should I start these indoors?
Start 6–8 weeks before your last frost, then transplant once nights stay above 50°F. The guide has a timing chart.
Are heirlooms harder to grow than hybrids?
They can be a touch more disease-prone, but good spacing and airflow handle it. The reward in flavor is worth the small extra care.
Which is best for sauce?
San Marzano — it is the classic paste tomato, meaty and low-moisture. Brandywine and Cherokee Purple are your slicers.

Why we grow it this way
Tomatoes worth saving
Supermarket tomatoes are bred to ship, not to taste. Heirlooms are the opposite — bred by generations of gardeners for flavor, and this collection carries six of the best: Brandywine, Cherokee Purple, Green Zebra, San Marzano, Yellow Pear, and Black Krim. Each packet holds 25+ open-pollinated seeds, so you can save your own year after year.
Between them you get a slicer, a sauce tomato, a snacking type, and colors from deep purple to green-striped — a whole summer of the tomatoes you cannot buy. Detailed growing guides and companion-planting charts come in the box.
These are the flavors that make people who "do not like tomatoes" change their minds. Warm from the vine, they are a different fruit than anything at the store.

What growers say
Converted my tomato-hating husband
The Cherokee Purple warm off the vine ended a 20-year "I do not like tomatoes." Every variety germinated and the flavor is unreal.
Best sauce I have made
The San Marzanos alone were worth it. Thick, meaty, low water. Already saving seed for next year like the guide shows.
Incredible flavor, some cracking
Just as the note warns, the Brandywines cracked after a rainy spell. Still the best tomatoes I have grown. Would buy again.
Six for the price of one supermarket flat
Great germination across all six. The Green Zebra is a conversation piece at the market. Guides are clear and useful.
