<h2 class=""><strong>Heinz 1350 Tomato Seeds</strong></h2> <h2><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Price for Package of 20 seeds.</strong></span></h2> <p>Savor classic tomato flavor by adding this heirloom to your garden roster. One of the first Heinz-bred tomato seed varieties that was used to make Heinz ketchup, the Heinz Classic Heirloom tomato (also known as Heinz 1370) offers rich tomato flavor in large (approx 170g), juicy fruits ideal for slicing onto sandwiches or cooking into sauces or stews.</p> <p>Plants (120-150 centimeters high) thrive in many regions and adapt well to growing in large containers.&nbsp;Heinz Classic Heirloom plants bear fruit all season long but ripen the heaviest portion of the crop in summer. Stake these vigorous plants for the best results and easiest harvesting.</p> <p><strong>Nutritional Information</strong></p> <p>The red tomato is listed on most nutritional lists as a superfood. It is packed with the antioxidant vitamins A and C, potassium and the B vitamins for heart health, and above all a powerful carotenoid called lycopene. This phytonutrient, which is responsible for the bright red color of tomatoes, has been studied for its role in fighting various cancers, and its ability to lower cholesterol. When tomatoes are cooked, even more lycopene is made available. Lycopene has been shown to be especially effective when eaten with fat-rich foods such as avocado, olive oil, or nuts. There are the ingredients for a powerhouse salad!</p> <p>1 cup sliced raw red tomatoes:</p> <ul> <li>Calories: 32</li> <li>Carbohydrates: 7g</li> <li>Dietary fiber: 2g</li> <li>Sugars: 5g</li> <li>Protein: 2g</li> </ul> <ul> <li>Vitamin A: 30% DV</li> <li>Vitamin C: 38%</li> <li>Vitamin K: 18%</li> <li>Vitamin B6: 7%</li> <li>Folate: 7%</li> <li>Potassium: 12%</li> <li>Manganese: 10%</li> </ul> <p><strong>Light requirements:</strong>&nbsp;Full sun.</p> <p><strong>Planting:</strong>&nbsp;Space 18 to 36 inches apart, depending on type. (Read the stick tag that comes with the plant for specific spacing recommendations.) Plant deeply, burying 2/3 of the stem.</p> <p><strong>Soil requirements:</strong>&nbsp;Tomatoes need well-drained, nutrient-rich soil. Amend soil with compost or other organic matter prior to planting. Soil pH should be 6.2 to 6.8.</p> <p><strong>Water requirements:</strong>&nbsp;Keep soil consistently moist throughout the growing season. Moisture is critical to prevent cracked fruits and blossom end rot. Mulch soil to reduce water evaporation.</p> <p><strong>Frost-fighting plan:</strong>&nbsp;Tomato is a warm-weather crop—even a light frost will damage plants (28º F to 32º F). Protect newly planted seedlings by covering plants with a frost blanket.</p> <p><strong>Common issues:</strong>&nbsp;Pest-wise, watch out for tomato hornworms (big green caterpillars), slugs, pill bugs, rodents. In addition, humid weather invites fungal diseases like early blight and late blight. Plants may stop setting fruit when temperatures dip below 55˚ F or climb above 90˚ F. Blossom end rot can be a problem, as can misshapen fruit.</p> <p><strong>Harvesting:</strong>&nbsp;In general, perfectly ripe tomatoes show deep color but still feel firm when gently squeezed. Look up your specific variety for more details. Tomatoes do continue to ripen after being picked. Gently grab and twist until the tomato pulls free from the stem, or use a pair of clippers. Cut stems close to fruits.</p> <p><strong>Storage:</strong>&nbsp;Store picked tomatoes at room temperature indoors, or in a shady place outside. Never refrigerate tomatoes, because temperatures below 55° F cause flavor compounds to break down. Tomatoes will store longer if you allow stems and caps to remain in place until you’re ready to eat them. For peak flavor and nutrition, use within a week, although keeping time depends on how ripe fruit is when you pick it.</p><script src="//cdn.public.n1ed.com/G3OMDFLT/widgets.js"></script>

<h2><strong>GOLD NUGGET Tomato Yellow Cherry Seeds</strong></h2> <h2><span style="color:#ff0000;"><strong>Price for Package of 10 or 20 seeds.</strong></span></h2> <p>A fantastic golden yellow cherry tomato producing heavy yields of 1" sweet and flavourful early fruits. Plants are compact at 24-30 in. Determinate.</p> <p>Sow in spring 1/16 inch deep. Germination takes around 6-14 days at 65-75F.</p> <p>Transplant the seedlings when large enough to handle into 3 inch pots. Grow on under cooler conditions and when about 8 inches tall, either plant in their growing position in the greenhouse or gradually acclimatise them to outdoor conditions and plant out 18 inches apart in a warm and sunny spot in moist, fertile well drained soil and keep watered.</p> <p>What's the difference between "indeterminate" and "determinate" tomatoes?</p> <p>Determinate tomatoes, or "bush" tomatoes, are varieties that grow to a compact height (generally 3 - 4'). Determinates stop growing when fruit sets on the top bud. All the tomatoes from the plant ripen at approximately the same time (usually over period of 1- 2 weeks). They require a limited amount of staking for support and are perfectly suited for container planting.</p> <p>Indeterminate tomatoes will grow and produce fruit until killed by frost. They can reach heights of up to 12 feet although 6 feet is normal. Indeterminates will bloom, set new fruit and ripen fruit all at the same time throughout the season. They require substantial staking for support and benefit from being constrained to a central growing stem.</p>
