Ring, ring, ring stop hitting the gong—classical red heirloom tomato alert. Close your eyes, meditate, and ponder the world’s meaning and what comes up when you think of large red tomato. Delete the programmed image of the large grocery store pretty, but tasteless tomato and reimagine it as a dark red 3-4” long beefsteak/slicer heirloom reaching back generations with an uber luscious, complex, classical tomato taste—great for sauces, sandwiches, and smacked on some mozzarella. A true secular tomato.

 - Plant 2 seeds 1/8 deep in soft soil in at least 3” deep container—we like to start everything indoors about a month before last frost: almanac.com/gardening/frostdates for your local date                                                                                                                                                                                        — Plant in area with full sun/strongest light in warmest area. Water it in and spray/flick additional water each day—make sure it’s not too damp though, we highly suggest investing in a heating mat faster germination and healthy roots. Germinates in 12-14 days                                                                                            -  Plant outside when at least 4 inches tall, after danger of last frost—make sure not to start too early as it will get leggy unless under supplemental light or area with strong lighting.                    - Mix in bat guano/organic nutrients into the hole you are planting in. Plant at least 2.5 ft apart, as an indeterminate plant—will need to be trellised and apply organic nutrients throughout growing cycle.                                                                                                                                                                                                 -Make sure roots are not saturated in water, when it doubt let it dry out. They are forgiving plants! Plant early flowers to generate more vegetative growth— and prune extra suckers often for more fruit. Ready to munch on 65 days from transplanting, or 90 days from direct seeding. Make sure to harvest often to encourage more fruit production. Minimum 25 seeds.
