Ledoux Tomato
3,55 $
We know very little about this tomato aside from the fact it is from the province of Quebec. It is a potato leaf type of tomato, which means the leaves are a bit different from most tomatoes and look more like potato leaves. It is a beeksteak variety; the fruits have generous, dense, and sweet dark pink flesh and contain few seeds. A single slice if enough for a sandwich. Very productive variety that will for sure give you a highly satisfying harvest.

Very ancient variety from the United States. Its skin is a creamy yellow with some pink undertone, and is very soft with a light down. This all makes this tomato look a bit like a little peach. The taste is exceptional, the skin is soft... makes you want to touch AND eat it.

This red currant tomato was discovered in the Châteauguay area in the 1940s. Families and children love its numerous little fruits. The true Petit Moineau bears 7 tiny tomatoes in every cluster. Do not confuse it with an imitator!

The smallest tomato you will ever eat!
Currant tomatoes are cousins with the common tomato we all know, both originally from Central and South America. The plants grow clusters of several tiny sweet fruits. The seeds we are selling however have a peculiar story...
Léon was a grumpy gardener who didn't like kids. Always a smoke between his lips, he would chase them with the back of his hand whenever they got too close to his parcel in Montreal community garden. Yet the kids couldn't help but want some of his tomatoes, which were shining under the sun just like rubies. Truth be told, Léon didn't really like anyone regardless of age... but how did we love his tomatoes! So, under the full moon (for real!), I sneaked into the garden, and stole a couple seeds.
Ever since I've been growing them, and my kids love them!

This variety comes from Laos, as the name suggests. Its color is somewhere between white and translucent white. With this variety, harvest gets off to a flying start; we had buckets and buckets of this tomato! Its taste is mild and sweet, its size average, and the shape slightly flattened. We've been bewitched, and will definitely be growing it again!

Pink Canabec tomatoes give pink, round, middle-sized fruits. This tomato was developped in 1975 by the agronomist Robert Doucet at the Saint-Hyacinthe Agriculture Research Center. It was created specially to suit Quebec regions' climate. It is therefore a productive, early-yielding variety that's quite compact for an indeterminate tomato.

This dark pink tomato comes from the Lower Saint-Lawrence, more specifically from Rivière-du-Loup. The seeds come from Mrs. Francine Mailloux. She gifted some to René Paquet, who gave them to Michel Richard (Potager d'Antan), who then handed them to me. It is now our turn to share them with you!
René describes this tomato as hefty and says that the indeterminate plant will have high yields of pink-fleshed red-skinned fruits. They will usually weight between 400 and 850 grams, but could be even heavier in some cases.

Indeterminate.
Never did I see it with my own eyes, but it is said there is a striking similarity between this tomato and the animal anatomy.
This middle-sized beefsteak tomato has a rich taste, and a right balance between juice and 'meat'. The latter resembles the flesh of the Oxheart tomato. We're in for plays on words with this one.
