Description
This slab of seed contains two types of tomatoes, both of which are heirloom varieties. The first type of tomato is the Principe Borghese, which is an Italian heirloom that is famous for its sun-dried tomatoes. The second type of tomato is the Moneymaker, which is an old English heirloom that is good for producing tomatoes in abundance. Both types of tomatoes have a fruity flavor that is balanced with sweet and sour notes. The seed is also made from organically enriched super-soil and infused with rare heirloom seed, which helps to keep the seed moist 3x longer than the soil. Finally, the seed is companion plants (when two plants are grown together for the benefit of one or both of those plants), which means that it can be grown alongside other plants in the garden.

- Principe Borghese tomatoes are an Italian heirloom, famous for sun drying. Vines yield clusters of fruit in abundance. They have thin skin and a thick, very meaty flesh that houses few seeds and little juice, with a rich classic tomato flavour. The crack-resistant fruit grows in clusters on hardy, fast-growing determinate plants, which spread laterally and ripen all at once. Principe Borghese tomatoes are a favourite for sun drying because they retain their colour and flavour more than most other varieties. Principe Borghese tomatoes date back to the 1910s in southern Italy. The Spanish originally brought the tomato back to Europe after Cortez conquered Mexico City in the 16th century, and the climate in Italy allowed for many new varieties of tomato to develop with intense flavour. Principe Borghese is known to be heat tolerant and very hardy
