I didn’t have the best day ever today, but when I opened the mailbox my heart warmed up a few degrees! In my mailbox was a beautiful little card, filled with Black Plum tomato seeds that I had been looking for to plant in my wee girl’s purple garden this summer. The card is made from natural fibres with seeds woven into it that can be planted, how neat is that? Needless to say, this extremely kind gesture and the lovely note made both of our days especially sunny!
Thanks so much to Marguerite from http://canoecorner.blogspot.ca for the Day Maker!!
I have some as well for the first time this year. Can’t wait to see if you share any tips on growing them

I hope to start them next weekend, I will keep you posted on their progress! I am very interested to see how purple tomatoes taste and how well they hold up against late blight….

What a lovely post, you’re very welcome! I hope you enjoy the tomatoes. I usually start them indoors in late March, early April. The taste is a very strong, smoky flavour. They are great in just about everything. Eating fresh, adding to pasta, soup, salsa. I haven’t had late blight so far when growing them so not sure how they’ll hold up. ~M

I am very excited – we have grown orange and yellow and pick tomatoes, but never purple! Again, thank you, thank you!

What a lovely surprise!! I have used the seed tape for carrots which is the same principle, works a treat.

I am very excited to see how they grow, I may start them in a pot so I don’t weed them by accident…
