Proof that tomatoes are a fruit
First off, nothing I have purchased from Hirst has produced anything like the pictures, I'm positive they turn up the saturation on the photos for emphasis. However, nothing I have purchased from Hirsts has disapointed me either. The seeds came with instructions good enough for a novice planter.

In the Rocky Mountain region around 70% of my seeds sprouted but only a small percent of those sprouts survived due to stubborn seed hulls. The plants that survived have done well and love to climb. The tomatoes I've gotten are a slightly darker red with green stripes and splotches, about the size of a Roma. The tomatoes are unusually fleshier than most and have more of a plum sweetness to them making them great for eating by themselves. Drying them brings out a hint of apple, again making them great alone or with a salad.

Wonderful Tomatoes
Got the seeds faster then expected, and the tomatoes they produced, were wonderful.
I'll grow these from now on.
