Rohrer Seeds Review from Frog Hop Greenhouse and Farm

I was recommended to Rohrer by Scott Highland of Highland Farm. I do like the folks at Rohrer. Rutgers tomatoes seem to grow well in our soil here at the New Jersey shore. It's sandy and had to be built up over the years with manure and topsoil. I'd say Rutgers is a reliable grower and a good tasting tomato. And I do recommend Rohrer's to friends as well as sharing plants.

Good Germination

Seed planted on 3/17. I have no fancy setup—starting pods on a windowsill in living area using standard starting mix. Plants began emerging 7 days later at which time grow light started. Over next week or so 22 of 24 seeds germinated & plants look healthy. Transplanted to larger pots 2 weeks ago. Lost just one. Currently outside on deck acclimating. Won’t be planting out for a few more weeks. I would say that 88% germination under less than ideal conditions is very good.

Great tomato and easy start from seed

Fast germination, produces sturdy plants. Developed by Rutgers to celebrate the 250th year anniversary of this land grant university.

Great new tomato from Rutgers

As a long time gardener from NJ. I was delighted to see a new Rutgers tomato offered last year by Rutgers. I grew it and found out that this is not a determinate as it continued to produce till frost in my garden. It does not get that tall maybe 4 to 5 feet. It is excellent in taste and has some disease resistant. It resists skin cracking and is blemish free. I would call it a small slicer tomato, as it is about 3 to 3 1/2 inches wide, red in color and round in shape. I was surprised how well this tomato performed . I am growing again this year.

This grass seed is perfect. The green color is amazing. I bought a small amount to do an area to find out what it would be like and I was so surprised how lush and green it came up. The blend looks like I had a professional seed it. Came back for more.

Most tender green beans

Emerite Pole Filet Bean

This will be my 4th year growing Emerite beans. They’re easy to grow and produce abundantly from early July to September on Cape Cod- I even harvested some in October ! They are tender and flavorful, by far the best green beans I’ve had. My friend, a longtime master gardener, loves them and now grows them as well. Provide room for them to climb - they will take off! I’ve had to pull a vine off my shingles, it was halfway to my second floor bedroom window !

Awesome germination!!!

Astia Container Zucchini

This zucchini plant germinated faster than anything else I have planted😊 I am sooo impressed thus far. I have absolutely no experience with growing anything until about a month ago so when this zucchini plant popped out of the rockwool at record speed, I was overjoyed. I am doing the wet paper towel in the baggie soaks to help with germinating so maybe that helped.

Hardy producer

Black Coral Zucchini Squash (15 seeds) Container Collection

I planted this variety in my raised bed garden following a cover crop of mature triticale. It produced consistently throughout the summer and I even had two plants survive and continue setting fruit until mid September. I harvested the last mature zucchini in September and it is still sitting on my kitchen counter in early February without showing signs of rotting (it's now become my experiment to see how long it lasts). The others I harvested also had very good "shelf life". I had very little leaf mold issues with this variety during the growing season.

Love this variety

Baby F1 Hybrid Cauliflower (15 seeds), Container Collection

I purchased the seeds almost two years ago and still use them. I plant two seeds at a time to stagger the harvest, and both seeds germinate (knock on wood). The plants have been grown under the grow lights in my basement. Need to re-order.

Roma VF Tomato Seeds

They grew really well and we harvested more than anticipated. They didn't get real big as we figured that was because our area didn't receive much rain last summer. We did water them but not quite the same as rain water

Darvin M.

Love these beans

Dr. Martin Pole Lima Bean Seeds

Grow these every year. Large sprawling plants, large delicious beans. Take a while to ripen and can be difficult to germinate, but so worth it. 5-6 plants are plenty for the two us for fresh beans and a winters worth of frozen beans. We don't dry them, don't seem to have a long enough growing season (in s Carolina ) for drying on the vine (probably because we're anxious to eat the earliest ones)! Following the growing instruction pdf on this page is highly recommended to increase germination. This is the only place I've ever found these for sale.

Gum Drop Hybrid Black Cherry Tomato Seeds

Still in love with this variety. Grown in 6B with most of the Summer in the mid to low 90s and a lot of humidity. Some unavoidable cracking issues with the heat and rain, but very little loss. No disease or issues with pests. Still highly recommend this variety. Makes an amazing salsa, though seed heavy.
