Guess we underestimated the crappy Iowa weather as well as our germination rates. We now have a bazillion Mikado very leggy tomato plants that need homes. Mikado are a really old heirloom tomato that were super excited to grow, but they're looking sad. Free plants if you will pick them up.

From Hudson Valley Seed Company:

Certified Organic Seed
Solanum lycopersicum
Rare American heirloom with exceptional flavor and reliability.
The first commercially available potato leaf tomato released in 1886, Mikado was once known as “Turner’s Hybrid”. After Turner shared the seeds, it was renamed after a once popular and now controversial opera. It then took a back seat to its own progeny; the now famous Brandywine that started the heirloom tomato craze in contemporary times was bred from Mikado. Just as the Kitsune Fox’s many tails signal its wisdom, the many tales of Mikado hint at its valuable place in the pantheon of garden tomato history.

Yields 6" diameter fruit weighing as much as 1 ½-2 lbs. Best for slicing—or county fair competitions"
