Eden Brothers Heirloom Tomato Seeds

Because indeterminate varieties will continue growing and producing until frost, they require sturdy staking or caging. Determinate varieties grow to a fixed size and ripen their fruit all at once, making them better suited for containers or smaller garden beds where you want a concentrated harvest.

Yes, but success depends on the specific variety. The determinate types in this mix are excellent for large containers, while the indeterminate types will require significant vertical support and larger pots to accommodate their sprawling growth habit.

Plant the seeds 0.25 to 0.5 inches deep in well-draining soil. Tomatoes thrive in fertile, slightly acidic soil, so amending your planting area with compost before sowing will provide the nutrients they need for a strong start.

Open-pollinated means these tomatoes are pollinated naturally by insects, wind, or birds. If you save the seeds from your harvest, the resulting plants will typically grow true to the parent plant, allowing you to save and replant them in future seasons.

These seeds are suitable for hardiness zones 3-10, but they are warm-season crops. If you are in a cooler zone, start your seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before your last frost date to ensure they have enough time to mature during the shorter growing season.

You can expect the first harvest anywhere from 60 to 90 days after planting, depending on the specific variety and your local climate conditions. Because this is a mix, you will likely see staggered ripening times throughout the season.
