Heirloom Cherry Tomato Seeds
Free Shipping on All Seed Packets!
This is the heirloom cherry variety that has been around for a century. The indeterminate vines are not as phenomenally heavy yielding as some of the new hybrids, but yields are still good. Flavor is excellent, a bit more acidic than its modern counterparts, and size is just right–that of a ping pong ball. Non-genetically engineered seeds.
Culture: For earliest harvest, sow seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost, keeping soil temperature in the mid-70’s. Grow in full sun. Shift hardened transplants to garden shortly after last frost. Water regularly and fertilize when 6″ (15 cm.) tall, and again in mid-summer. Stake or cage to save space.
Harvest: Pick carefully when richly colored and firm, but before fruit begins to soften.
Nutrition: Rich in calcium, iron, and vitamins A and C.
