Top 10 Best Tasting Tomato Seed Packet Seeds
We asked our customers to tell us which tomatoes they think test the best from the seeds they have ordered from us through out the years and give us their Top 10 selections ( or if they did not favor that many, just they favorites ). Along with getting their responses, we noticed several asked if we could put the best ones in a kit at a discount.
Our first though was most customers really did not order or need that many tomato seeds, but upon a bit of feedback we realized we had overlooked the fact that gardeners love to share plants and seeds among friends and family.
So, we decided to create a seed packet kit with the top 10 choices and then offer this kit with a 25% discount, compared to buying seed packets individually on out tomato seed page. These kit contain the exact same seed packets offered on our Tomato Seed Page.
Below are the top 10 varieties listed:
