Tomatoes — Heirlooms

Just a smattering of the varieties I grow. Hundreds (and hundreds) more available at the farm as seedlings. 25 seeds per packet

Culture: Start 6-8 weeks earlier, indoors. Set out into warm, well-fed soil. I put a huge shovelful of compost into each planting hole, then set the plants in deep. Water well to establish. For best taste, water very sparingly, if at all after the plants are established.
