"I can't wait to try these gorgeous looking tomatoes. I live in an area where I plant them from April -June. So I haven't planted them yet due to the cold weather still. They look like good seeds. There is no GMO in the seeds. I love the thought of tomato sandwiches. Thank you Influencer, and Ferry-Morse, for the free 400mg Tomato, Mortgage Lifter Heirloom Seeds, in exchange for testing and review purposes."
