  • Tomato 'Cherokee Purple' is a well-loved heirloom variety known for its deep, rich flavor and unusual color. Believed to have originated from seeds passed down by the Cherokee people in the 1800s, this tomato carries a lot of history along with its outstanding taste. It grows as an indeterminate vine, meaning it keeps producing fruit throughout the season rather than all at once. With the right support, it becomes a lush, sprawling plant that fills garden spaces with beautiful, dusky-colored fruits.

    The fruits of Cherokee Purple are large, often weighing 10 to 12 ounces (280–340 g) or more, and have a slightly flattened, beefsteak shape. The skin is a dusky pinkish-purple with darker shoulders, and when sliced open, the flesh reveals a deep red interior with a hint of green near the seeds. The flavor is full-bodied — sweet, smoky, and a little earthy — making it a favorite for slicing, sandwiches, and fresh salads. Because of their soft texture, the tomatoes are best enjoyed soon after picking.

    Unlike many modern hybrids, Cherokee Purple takes a little patience to grow, often maturing a bit later in the season. The vines can stretch 6 to 8 feet tall and need sturdy cages or stakes to support the heavy fruits. The leaves are more traditional tomato leaves (not potato-like like some heirlooms), giving the plants a classic, leafy garden look as they fill out through the summer.

    Although it’s grown mainly for its outstanding fruit, Cherokee Purple also brings a soft, natural beauty to vegetable gardens with its tall, leafy vines and colorful harvest. Gardeners who grow it often say no other tomato compares when it comes to complex, rich flavor. In the right conditions, it rewards growers with some of the most memorable tomatoes of the season.


  • Needs full sun, at least 6 to 8 hours a day, for strong vines and rich fruit flavor. Plants grown in too much shade will produce fewer and less flavorful fruits.

    Water when the top inch of soil feels dry, aiming for deep, steady watering rather than frequent light watering. Consistent moisture helps prevent problems like cracking.

    Handles average outdoor humidity but needs good airflow around the leaves. Crowded conditions or wet leaves for too long can invite fungal diseases.

    Prefers warm temperatures between 70–85°F. Plant outside only after the danger of frost has passed and the soil has warmed up. While tomatoes are generally grown as annuals and can be cultivated in USDA zones 3 through 11, the key factor is the length of the growing season and the average last frost date in your specific area. In cooler zones like 3 and 4, gardeners often start seeds indoors and use season-extending techniques to ensure a successful harvest.

    Thrives in rich, well-draining soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH between 6.0 and 6.8. Adding compost or organic matter encourages strong vines and better fruit production.

    Feed every 4–6 weeks with a balanced fertilizer, or use one slightly higher in phosphorus to promote more flowers and fruits. Avoid heavy nitrogen feeding, which can create too much leafy growth.

    Ripe fruits are edible and safe, but the green parts of the plant (stems, leaves, and unripe fruits) are toxic if ingested. Keep plants where pets and small children can't reach them.

Border Collie Approved: Easy to Clean, Durable, and Great Bounce
Size: Medium (2.5"), Style: Fetch Pack 2
These are the best balls out there for dogs. These fit great in the chuck-it ball launcher, which we need to wear out my border collie. They fit her mouth properly and, most importantly, do not absorb all the spit or water after a good rain. They are quick to clean off and have good weight so you can let them fly! Furthermore, they bounce well, which is perfect for my dog that likes to catch them on a bounce. The ball is a strong rubber, so should not be easy to chew up. I've used these for years, and the only time I've had to replace them is when one gets lost in the hay field. I highly suggest these as replacements for the common tennis balls.

Treats and plenty of ball throwing with these doggie toy
Size: Medium (2.5"), Style: Fetch Pack 1
I have actually purchased these twice already. I love the one that glows in the dark but it still got lost in my yard lol. My dog is a big breed half pitt/Labrador so she did chew through one of them already. I play ball with her every single day but I DO have to take them away from her because she will destroy them. They are great to add in treats as well, that was one of the my favorite things about them as well. They do last just if you have an over zealous chewer do not let them keep them for long periods of time. They are a good value for the price. Buy them your dog will love it!

My Female GSD loves
Size: Medium (2.5"), Style: Fetch Pack 1, Size: Medium (2.5"), Style: Fetch Pack 1
Shasta is my smallest. Six in December (2025) along with her brother. She’s 100 lbs and outside, completely ball driven see last picture. Don’t let the size (2.5”) of these Chuck-It balls deter you. If your larger Breed dog has any orthopedic issues, has already torn their ACL etc, one has arthritis but wants to play. This size is perfect! Shazzy was born with several ortho issues. I don’t throw balls distance but right to her. This size and lighter weight assure even when Shazzy is spazzy w excitement, she’ll catch the ball mid air. The green balls are softer, and glow in the dark. In summer we can play well past dusk and I can see them! Her personality shows in the pictures. Playing ball is part of her. These balls are just perfect for her situation. Somehow they disappear, she loves making baskets, puts them in my tractor bucket, or my gardening bucket..then get put in burn pile, trash etc. I keep replacing them because she’d look day and night if we actually ran out!! 🙏✝️👍🏼👍🏼

Heavy chewer approved.
Style: Ball, Size: Medium (Pack of 1)
My pomsky will destroy a toy in minutes. Ropes, and the "indestructible" nylon type stuffs are no match for my furry shark. This ball has stood up to him like David. He loves the crunch and it is so much more tolerable than a squeaker. These will be a staple in his toy box - Chuckit toys are really the most durable dog toys I have found in three years.
