The Revolutionary, New "TomTato" 'Ketchup 'n' Fries' is a hand-grafted plant that brings together tomatoes and potatoes, two close relatives, that together give us one of life's great pleasures: 'Ketchup 'n' Fries'. It produces the sweetest cherry tomatoes you've ever tasted by the hundreds. In 2016 an improved grafting method lead to much better crops of potatoes than in 2015 with a few pounds per plant.

Mighty Mato Grafted Tomatoes consist of desirable heirloom and cool modern varieties hand-grafted onto super strong tomato rootstock that confers greater disease resistance, greater cold tolerance, and greater vigour resulting in up to 2-3 times more tomatoes per plant than ungrafted plants! Heirloom tomatoes that are sometimes shy in their yields produce like never before. Cool modern varieties also produce extra large yields.

Mighty Mato ‘42 Days’ -- One of the earliest ripening tomatoes in the world taking about 42 days to get great quantities of ripe, delicious, 1 oz, salad type tomatoes. Perfect for cool summer climates and part shade to part sun gardens without hot sun. 42 days. Determinate.

Mighty Mato ‘Sweet Million’ -- Sweet, bright red cherry tomatoes produced in large clusters. Crack and disease resistant. 65-75 days. Indeterminate.

Mighty Melons and Mighty Veggies consist of desirable heirloom and cool modern varieties that are grafted onto super strong rootstock that, like the Mighty Matos, confers greater disease resistance, greater cold tolerance, and greater vigour resulting in extra large crops of fruit and vegetables.

Local Customers: You will be emailed in advance with the exact date when your order will be ready for pick-up. Pre-orders are held for 4 weeks after which time your plants are returned to general inventory and you will be given a credit at the nursery. No refunds are given.

Canadian Mail Order Customers: These grafted veggies will not be offered on our official mail order site in 2019. If you would like to place an order, please do so here, minimum $40 in plants. Orders are shipped as soon as they are ready in early to mid May and cannot wait. If you have ordered other plants and they are ready at the same time, we will ship together. However, if your other plants are not ready we cannot hold grafted veggies to wait for your other plants. We are unable to quote an exact shipping rate but can tell you that we charge the Canada Post rate plus a small amount to cover our costs. We do not make money on shipping. In general we would estimate that shipping a box of three Mighty Matos would cost between $30-$40, depending on your location in Canada. They are in 1g pots and require a fair sized box to fit their foliage which costs extra for the volume.
