Tomato Seed
This beautiful tomato is a stunning rich purple color with brown hues and an incredible complex flavor. This beefsteak boasts large, 10-12 oz pleated fruit with the look and flavor of an heirloom but the uniformity, disease resistance, and high yield of a modern hybrid. Vigorous, productive plants have very good resistance to Verticillium Wilt and Late Blight, so you’ll be harvesting from the vines early and continuously through the end of the season.

Edit: They fixed the problem! Great customer service will be making all my future seed purchases here. :)
Went to go checkout online, I only ordered a few seeds and it says my shipping is going to be $50?! For the basic shipment. I live in ohio where berlin seed is and only a few hours away that just seems awfully expensive for seed shipment...

Great place! The seed variety is great
Planted all 10 seeds but only 5 germinated. It was strange summer weather so I'm sure that had something to do with it. I'm in zone 6 outside of St Louis. However, that being said, this was the absolute BEST melon ever. So sweet...everyone agreed on that. No disease at all. Amazing. Harvested a total 41 melons. Planted them May 18th. They germinated May 24th. Harvested the first group of 7 from Aug1st-6th. They all weighed over 6lbs. I continued harvesting through Oct 22nd. They started getting smaller throughout the growing season. The largest 6.50lbs. The smallest 2.31. Will definitely plant again.
