Know before you buy
Indeterminate means the plant will continue to grow, flower, and produce fruit throughout the entire growing season until the first frost. You will need to provide a sturdy trellis or stake to support the vines as they grow.
These tomatoes reach maturity in approximately 65 days after transplanting. You can expect to start harvesting your first clusters of fruit about two months after moving your seedlings into the garden.
Yes, but because they are indeterminate, they will require a large container—at least 5 gallons—and a tall, strong support system. Ensure the container has excellent drainage and receives full sun for the best results.
For the best germination rate, sow the seeds 1/4 inch deep in soil kept between 70-85ºF. You should see sprouts appear within 7 to 14 days.
To ensure proper airflow and prevent disease, space your plants 24 to 36 inches apart. This spacing allows the plants enough room to develop strong roots and receive adequate sunlight.
Yes, these are certified organic seeds, meaning they have been produced according to organic farming standards without the use of synthetic pesticides or fertilizers.
