Growing Heirloom Tomatoes

I have to say that you should add at least one heirloom tomato variety even if you only have a small space garden. These tomatoes are medium to big size, so it is perfect for slicing, as well as cherry tomato variety. We also often make it into a salad, the juicy and soft meat tomatoes are not comparable with all season store bought one.

Most heirloom tomatoes are indeterminate and have long maturity period. I have lots of luck with some varieties, and I got some ripe on the vine tomatoes around the end of August.

It sure takes lots of time for the first pick fruit, so plant more early tomato varieties for early harvest while waiting for the heirloom tomatoes ready to pick.

Before you transplanting the tomato seedling into their final spot in the garden, make sure you add the best homemade tomato fertilizer into the planting hole.

This way you don’t have to fertilize it during the growing season other than Epsom salt solution once a month and good watering system.

Where To Buy Heirloom Tomato Seeds

Any hardware store, garden center, and some grocery store have seed available as early as late winter. That will give you time to start the seed indoors before spring is coming.

If you can’t find any heirloom seed at the store, then you can get it online. You can get various organic heirloom tomato seeds at this store, and you can also get a package of seven different heirloom tomato seeds here.

Organic Heirloom Tomato Seed

It is not all heirloom tomatoes are organic, for what I understand that organic tomato seed grows without using pesticide or any synthetic matter.

Many gardeners grow tomato organically, but it doesn’t mean all organic tomatoes are heirloom varieties.

Of course, there are more varieties I can say here as there are lots of tomatoes you can pick to grow in your garden.

Because of most heirloom tomato has long maturity time, you can start the seed indoor early about 6-8 weeks before the last frost. Alternatively, try these early tomato varieties for the short growing season.

Make More Tomato Plants For Free

Heirloom tomato varieties are original and non-hybrid. It is famous with the taste and characteristic of the fruit itself.

If you would like to make more of this tomato plant for free, you can do it by root the tomato stem cutting. It guarantees you will have more of the same variety for free within a week. You can also save the seed for the next season.
