Know before you buy
These are an indeterminate variety, meaning the vines will continue to grow, flower, and produce fruit throughout the entire growing season until the first frost.
For optimal airflow and fruit production, space your plants 24 to 36 inches apart. This spacing helps prevent foliage diseases and makes harvesting easier.
Sow the seeds 1/4 inch deep in a seed-starting mix. Maintain a soil temperature between 70-85ºF to ensure the best germination rates.
No, this variety is specifically noted for its excellent resistance to cracking. They hold their shape well even as they reach full maturity.
While they are excellent fresh in salads, their dense, fleshy texture makes them a great choice for roasting as well. Roasting helps concentrate their complex, heirloom-like flavor.
Each packet contains 10 organic seeds.
