"Krim" is the Ukrainian word for Crimea, the Ukrainian island where the Black Krim was cultivated. Tasting note: Smokey, salty & meaty Banana Legs (determinate)  tomatoes are these beautiful elongated plum tomatoes with a striking yellow colour. They were first bred in the US by John Swenson in 1984 and so they are considered a "modern heirloom" as they are less than 60 years old. The compact plants of "Banana Legs" are very productive, producing heavy yields of 5-10 cm fruit that are similar in shape and colour to a small banana Tasting note: Meaty & fruity with few seeds & low acid Marmand (indeterminate)  tomato is named after a city in the southwest of France. Marmande is a classic French heirloom that dates back to the end of the 19th century. Marmande tomatoes were first bred by Vilmorin Seed Company and released about 1897. Plants produce clusters of 150-300g deep red, slightly flattened, oblate fruits that are meaty, lightly lobed and contain an excellent, complex, slightly tart taste Tasting note: Savoury, fruity & juicy About Sow Delicious In 2013, Vanessa Jacobs set out to find the simplest way to grow a garden fit for a foodie, giving people the opportunity to proudly plant a garden that is Sow Delicious! She came up with the idea for the ‘Slab of Seed’ which might look like a slab of chocolate, but is made from a special blend of organically enriched super-soil and infused with rare heirloom seed – the purest & oldest seed on earth which is also non-GMO. The slabs are handmade in a unique little chocolate factory in the heart of Eden in The Garden Route.
