You may have noticed that some varieties are gradually disappearing from the catalogue. This is not an oversight; I’ve chosen to cultivate my preferences.
This year, I’ve focused my seed production on tomatoes and a few other rare varieties that I grow in my garden and have chosen to keep in the catalogue.
The other varieties will remain available while supplies last.
Brix, flavor profiles, tastings, Sisters of Flavor and Sisters of Use will be added: all ways to help you discover what you prefer.

Tomato Micro-Dwarf Balcony Red — red cherry, sweet & mild, for balconies and indoor growing
Small in size, it also likes to spread out in a hanging basket.
Flavor profile
Sweet & mild
Sweet : ●●●○○ | Tangy : ●●○○○ | Aromatic : ●○○○○
Our flavor profiles are based on my own observations in the garden and during tasting.
In the kitchen & for tasting
Its small red cherry tomatoes are easy to enjoy straight from the garden, as a snack, or in salads.
When fully ripe, Balcony Red offers a mild, sweet flavor, with a light acidity that adds some brightness.
Her ideal garden
Perfect for urban gardens, Balcony Red fits beautifully in a 3–4 litre pot, on a balcony, in a window box, hanging basket, garden bin, growing tower, or directly in the ground.
With its compact but wider, trailing habit, Balcony Red likes to spread rather than simply grow upward. It finds its place in a hanging basket, window box, or along the edge of a garden bin, where its trailing growth can spill nicely over the edge.
It can be grown outdoors or indoors with a little supplemental light.
And if you can’t wait to start your seeds, sow it indoors whenever you like. It’s a great way to be patient.
The seed grower’s note
Balcony Red is small, but surprisingly versatile. Its compact, wide, trailing habit makes it interesting both in the vegetable garden and on a balcony or in a hanging basket. You can choose it for its delicious little red fruits, of course, but also for the way it inhabits a space.
I like tomatoes that don’t ask us to reserve one particular spot for them: we find ourselves wanting to make room for them almost anywhere. In a window box, along the edge of a garden bin, in a pot, or hanging, Balcony Red can both produce and contribute to the garden’s décor.
Every variety has its own personality. The best tomato isn’t the one that pleases everyone, but the one that finds its place in your garden, your kitchen, and your habits.
You can share its seeds within your community: our seeds are reproducible.
