An heirloom from Edmonton, Canada and introduced by Carolyn Male in 1997, this is considered to be the "best choice" for an extra early tomato. Perfect for canning, as most of the tomatoes ripen at the same time. Strong, disease resistant, short plants produce an abundance of 8 to 10 ounce globes.

This Auction: You will be receiving 15 seeds from my garden. They will be sent First Class mail for FREE in the United States. I am happy to say that my seeds tested 99-100% germination within 2 weeks at a temp of 65°F in the spring. Excellent for beginners!
Propagation Method: From seed, sow seeds indoors 6 weeks before last spring frost. Sow 2-3 seeds per pot and thin to one plant per container. After four weeks, transplant seedlings to larger pots, and about 10 days before the last spring frost, begin hardening the plants to the outdoors. Transplant your plants to a sunny, highly composted location when soil temperatures are at least 55 to 60 degrees Fahrenheit. Stake or cage the plants for support and to prevent sprawling on the ground.
