The Grafted Veggie

Pre-Order

Choose from 20 different Mighty Matos and 5 different Mighty Veggie Peppers

Welcome to our Grafted Veggie Pre-Order offering hand-grafted edible plants that will produce at least 2-3 times more fruit than own-root veggies with more disease resistance, cold tolerance, and longer seasons of production. With good fertilizing, many customers get 50-100 pounds from a single plant! These plants are revolutionary and worth it, especially for small spaces. Grow them in the ground or in large pots (10 gallon and up).

This year we are pleased to offer Mighty Matos and Mighty Veggie peppers including many new, exciting, and tasty varieties.

We have many new varieties in store including everything you see above!

Check out our New Tomatoes for 2024!

Solanum lycopersicum Mighty Mato 'Artemis'

'Artemis' is one of the sweetest red cherry tomatoes you'll ever experience. It gives 'Sweet Aperitif' and the golden 'Sun Sugar' a run for their money. These super sweet, rich, red cherries are crisp and firm. They are held on long trusses of 10 or more fruit each and ripen in a very short 55 days. Indeterminate. 

Solanum lycopersicum Mighty Mato 'Berkeley Tie Dye Green'

'Berkeley Tie Dye Green' could be the most stunning tomato you'll ever grow. And one of the coolest you've ever tasted. It is an incredibly colourful large slicer variety with 8-16 ounce fruit striped with green, yellow, and red. The flesh is tricoloured with each colour offering a different flavour. The green and yellow flesh offers tartness and spiciness while the red sections are sweet and flavourful. An excellent slicer, but also wonderful for cooking, salads, or canning. Imagine it sliced on a plate with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, sea salt and fresh cracked pepper for a perfect summer treat. 75-80 days. Indeterminate. 

Solanum lycopersicum Mighty Mato 'Berkeley Tie Dye Pink'

'Berkeley Tie Dye Pink' produces stunning deep purple-pink 8-12 ounce slicer type fruits with metallic green stripes. The fruit has excellent, sweet, rich flavours and a firm, meaty texture. An early producer for such a large tomato at just 65-75 days. Indeterminate.

Solanum lycopersicum Mighty Mato 'Bloody Butcher'

'Bloody Butcher' is a sensational all purpose tomato that ripens early, about the same time as 'Early Girl', but with a richer heirloom-like flavour. It will continue producing well into fall. The four ounce fruits are held in clusters of 5-9 fruits that are rich red inside and out. Great for fresh eating or canning. 55 days. Indeterminate.

Solanum lycopersicum Mighty Mato 'Cherokee Carbon'

'Cherokee Carbon' is a cross of two of the most popular heirloom purple beefsteak tomatoes: 'Cherokee Purple' and 'Carbon'. The flavour is amazing with a double dose of the rich, robust, smoky, umami flavours that will make you swoon and say this is the taste of summer! Extra pretty too, these tomatoes are among the darkest of the purple types. Grow in a really hot spot. 75-80 days. Indeterminate.

Solanum lycopersicum Mighty Mato 'Copia'

'Copia' is a gorgeous and tasty slicer or beefsteak tomato with yellow skin beautifully striped with red. The interiors are also yellow and red, look gorgeous on a plate, in an open-faced sandwich, or in a salad, and are very juicy, flavourful, and sweet. A cross of 'Green Zebra' and 'Marvel Stripe'. 85 days. Indeterminate. 

Solanum lycopersicum Mighty Mato 'Crokini'

'Crokini' produces hundreds of aromatic, sweet, crisp cherry tomatoes with a long period of production from summer to fall. The fruit are produced in beautiful trusses of 10-12 fruit each and are crack resistant. Plants are resistant to late blight. 60-65 days. Indeterminate. 

Solanum lycopersicum Mighty Mato 'Momotaro'

'Momotaro' is one of the most popular tomatoes grown in Japan, a country of people who appreciate flavour and quality in their food. These beautiful and distinctive dark pink tomatoes are 6-7 ounces with meaty flesh and a wonderful sweet and tangy flavour. An early producer with great yields. 70 days. Indeterminate.

Solanum lycopersicum Mighty Mato 'Orange Icicle'

'Orange Icicle' is a luminous orange, nearly seedless, roma type tomato from Ukraine with a luscious, citrusy flavour. Use it in salads, salsas, or for a beautiful golden tomato sauce. 80 days. Indeterminate. 

Solanum lycopersicum Mighty Mato 'Orange Paruche'

'Orange Paruche' is one of the sweetest of all cherry tomatoes with one inch wide glowing orange fruit that are sweet, succulent, and flavourful. They are produced in astonishing quantities on branched trusses. The debate over the best golden cherry tomato has always focused on 'Sun Sugar' or 'Sungold'. 'Orange Paruche' might beat them both! 65-70 days. Semi-determinate. 

Solanum lycopersicum Mighty Mato 'Sungold'

'Sungold' produces light orange cherry tomatoes that are amongst the sweetest you'll ever experience. An excellent variety similar to 'Sun Sugar' that you've got to try along with 'Orange Paruche'. 60 days. Indeterminate. 

Solanum lycopersicum Mighty Mato Indigo 'Cherry Drops'

Indigo tomatoes produce non-stop heavy crops of fruit with dark purple shoulders packed with healthy anthocyanins, antioxidants that protect against cancer. Indigo 'Cherry Drops' produces one inch wide, round, rich red cherry tomatoes with dark shoulders and intense sweet flavour. You can get 500 or more fruit per plant in ideal growing conditions! Harvest when just the shoulders are still purple, the bottoms are rich red, and fruit is soft to the touch at around 65 days. Indeterminate. 

Solanum lycopersicum Mighty Mato Indigo 'Pear Drops'

Indigo tomatoes produce non-stop heavy crops of fruit with dark purple shoulders packed with healthy anthocyanins, antioxidants that protect against cancer. Indigo 'Pear Drops' produces cool, pear-shaped, one inch, yellow fruit with purple-black shoulders with excellent sweet flavour. You can get 600-1000 fruit per plant in ideal growing conditions! Harvest when just the shoulders are still purple, the bottoms are bright yellow, and fruit is soft to the touch at around 65 days. Indeterminate.

The Camellia Caramba Pre-Order Launched!

33 exquisite cultivars for 2024

Welcome to the second year of the Camellia pre-order celebrating this wonderful fall-, winter-, and spring-blooming evergreen shrub or tree. Camellias have long inspired gardeners with their exquisite and varied single, semi-double, and double flowers in shades of white, pink, coral, red, and yellow plus bicolours. The sasanqua types begin to bloom in the fall and continue through winter with delicate, fragrant flowers. The larger-flowered japonica types begin to bloom in late winter and early spring. Some hybrids bloom in the middle of winter. They are an amazing group of woody plants to keep colour going in the garden or on the patio when few other plants are blooming - except perhaps hellebores which make a great underplanting! While most Camellia are hardy to just zones 7 and 8, a few are hardy into zone 6. In colder zones they can be grown in a cool greenhouse or sunroom protected from freezing. Have fun!

These are some of the beautiful Camellia available now for pre-order.
