Mortgage Lifter is a famous heirloom beefsteak tomato variety celebrated for its enormous fruit size, rich flavor, and legendary origins during the Great Depression. It was developed in the early 1930s by Marshall Cletus “Radiator Charlie” Byles of Logan, West Virginia, who, despite having no formal plant-breeding training, spent six years hand-pollinating and crossing four large-fruited tomatoes, including German Johnson and other Italian and English varieties. He sold the resulting seedlings for one dollar each—a premium price at the time—and their exceptional productivity and popularity allowed him to pay off his $6,000 mortgage in just six years, giving rise to the name “Mortgage Lifter.” While other strains exist, such as the Estler Family strain from 1922, Charlie’s version remains the most well known. The plants produce massive pinkish-red, slightly ribbed beefsteak fruits that typically weigh 1 to 2 pounds, with occasional fruits reaching up to 4 pounds. The tomatoes are meaty with few seeds and offer a mild, sweet, low-acid flavor, making them especially prized for slicing, sandwiches, and fresh eating.

Pineapple tomatoes have a huge body with golden-orange and red marbled skin. They show the same beautiful coloration on their interior flesh, which has a strong tomato aroma and boasts low acidity and few seeds with more solid, meaty flesh. This variety has an incredibly unique flavor as it is primarily sweet, but with a satisfying, and even surprising, citrus tang. Pineapple tomato plants bear heavy yields of fruit with individual tomatoes weighing between one and two pounds. As an indeterminate variety, Pineapple tomato plants will continue to grow and set fruit up until a frost. Pineapple is among the taller of tomato plants, often reaching eight or more feet high, hence staking or caging these plants is recommended in order to encourage healthy growth and to prevent garden sprawl.

Scotch Bonnet Orange

Orange Scotch Bonnet - Heirloom

These attractive orange hot peppers have a surprising amount of heat and a wonderful aroma. Their unique taste is required for authentic jerk sauce. Jerk is a way of cooking that originated in Jamaica when meat is rubbed with a very sharp spice mixture called Jamaican Jerk spice. It is closely related to the habanero, but with a sweeter flavor and stouter shape. 

The pods are 1-1/2" wide and 1-1/2" long and have a citrus-like flavor with a lot of heat. They have smooth waxy skin and four globular ridges at the bottom that aren't quite bonnet-like. The peppers mature from green to bright orange on very productive 24" tall plants.  Capsiucum chinense (90 days)
