Good keeper. 100 days from transplant. The undisputed king of all, packed with hordes of beneficial vitamins & nutrients. The plant will yield 4 to 5 fruit per plant. This one is a must for both the novice and expert veggie gardener! When ripe, it turns increasingly deep orange and becomes sweeter and richer. It grows on a vine.

More About Us
ABSeeds is an Australian owned business trading under the umbrella of Direct Compost Solutions which is owned and managed by Victoria Brun.
We as a company endeavor to provide to the public, Organic, Old Fashioned, Heritage, and Open-pollinated seeds that have not been genetically modified.
We purchased the business in November 2018 and renamed it to ABSeeds (All ‘Bout Seeds) to make the title shorter and represent what we hope to achieve with this business in the years ahead.
Seeds that we can’t grow ourselves we will acquire from people who grow for us, or we may purchase seeds from reputable heritage seed companies.
