FREE: Heirloom Tomato ✽ DJENA LEE’S GOLDEN GIRL ✽ 15 Seeds ✽ Organic

The listing, Heirloom Tomato ✽ DJENA LEE’S GOLDEN GIRL ✽ 15 Seeds ✽ Organic has ended.

This dates to at least the 1920s when it was grown by Djena Lee, the Native American wife of Minnesota financier Jim Lee. The oval-shaped tomatoes have thick skin and intensely orange coloration. The flavor is very sweet but with a nice acid tinge. It is said this won First Place at the Chicago Fair ten years in a row. This is an often overlooked heirloom that deserves to be grown more than it is. Very few seeds, hence the price is usually higher. I don't have many of these seeds left to give away.

This Auction: You will be receiving 15 seeds from my garden. They will be sent First Class mail. I only take Paypal for International bidders, I do combine any additional auction seeds (within 5 days) for no additional shipping charge. I am happy to say that my seeds tested 99-100% germination within 2 weeks at a temp of 65°F in the spring of 2012. 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.
