  • 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.

Amazingly strong and versatile
Size: 2.5" & 4" - 4 Pack, Style: Open Hooks
I saw these advertised on Instagram and immediately purchased a 4 pack. I really wanted them to work but after trying them on 4-5 different steel surfaces I couldn't'[t get any of them to stick well or hold anything heavier than a wet towel. Maybe a bad batch? A shame. The company took the time to reach out to me after seeing my first review where the hooks wound stick to metal poles in my studio. I definitely was not expecting them to reach out to address my issues with the hooks I purchased and returned. After trying the new replacement hooks out I now could not be more impressed! They are strong, well made and easy to use. The hooks and the magnetic baskets are phenomenal and I highly recommend them. I did a test with the hooks, which held a 75 lb weight with no issues on the side of a craftsman tool box! It seems that any early product issues are fixed. The customer service is fantastic and they really took the time to address the issues and keep their customers coming back happy. Well done! Gator Magnetics is definitely a class act in my book!

25 lb hanger doesn’t hold my Echo trimmer
Size: 4" - Red, Style: Open Hooks, Size: 4" - Red, Style: Open Hooks
Purchased the holders for my Echo trimmer and hedger but the tines are not long enough to hold the Echos. A picture in the description shows a gas powered unit hanging which is why I bought the hangers. Buy the larger 45 lb hanger for trimmers. Nice hook but I’ll probably send them back if i can’t find a use for them soon.

Handy
Size: 4" - Black, Style: Open Hooks
I use an ocean container for storage and have some things that need to be hanging. These are perfect for any place you are unable to drive nails. I bought the stronger ones and have had no problems. Ordered more after trying them.
