TOMATO-MARIANNA’S PEACE is one of the most sought-after heirloom tomatoes. The large, reddish-pink fruits weigh up to almost 2kg & have a smooth, creamy texture with a delicious, well-balanced flavor. Not very productive but it’s worth growing for the flavor. Potato-leaf foliage. A family heirloom from Czechoslovakia dating back to the early 1900s.
Sow in a good mix of soil and lightly cover – keep moist but not wet. To transplant, plant deeper, up to the 1st set of true leaves, this increases rooting & speeds maturity. Keep fertilized & evenly watered.

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.
