This is an excellent vegetable to include in a container garden. It grows only 18–24 inches tall and has abundant yield. The fruit is purple with white stripes and is most tasty when harvested at a size of 4 inches long. It takes about 50 days to mature from planting a seedling or transplant.

Tomato F1 ‘Sugary’ (Lycopersicon esculentum)

These little cherry-sized tomatoes are amazingly sweet, earning it the name ‘Sugary.’ Growing in clusters, somewhat like grapes, the plants produce consistently high yield. From transplants, it takes about 60 days to mature into eating-sized fruit.

Winter Squash F1 ‘Bonbon’ (Curcurbita maxima)

Another incredibly sweet vegetable, this winter squash has deep green skin and orange flesh. Each fruit is about 4–5 pounds. The yield is consistently high. From transplants, it takes about 95 days to mature.
