Solanaceous varieties like Tomatoes, Peppers, Eggplant, and Tomatillos need a longer growing season to produce an optimal harvest. This is why we start these varieties under grow lamps indoors beginning 6-10 weeks ahead of our last frost. In this collection, you'll find many special varieties that will be hard-to-find in as seedlings at your local nursery come springtime. But we promise you: These varieties have phenomenal flavor and are worth every bit of extra effort to start at home.
