Homestead Heirloom Tomato Seeds for Planting, 250+ Seeds Per Packet
Homestead Tomato: Solanum lycopersicum A mid-sized red tomato variety with meaty 8oz round fruits. Great for growing in hotter climates as it is very heat-tolerant. Determinate. Start tomatoes indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost of spring, sowing the seeds in a flat 1/4″ deep and 1″ apart. Keep the temperature at 70-75 degrees F until germination, as well as providing adequate light in a sunny window or under a grow light; keep the soil moist, but make sure drainage is adequate. When the second set of leaves emerges, transplant the seedlings into individual pots; bury the stems up to the lowest set of leaves to grow strongly rooted plants. A week before planting the seedlings outside, begin exposing them to the weather during the day to harden them; tomatoes cannot endure cold weather, and should not be transplanted outside until all threat of frost has passed. When the soil temperature reaches at least 70 degrees F, plant the seedlings in full sun and very rich soil; once more, bury the entire stem up to the lowest set of leaves. Space the plants 2′ apart.About this item🍅 Homestead Tomato: A mid-sized red tomato variety with meaty 8oz round fruits. Great for growing in hotter climates as it is very heat-tolerant. Determinate.
