Yellow Pear Tomato Seeds - Solanum Lycopersicum - Sweet & Abundant
Quantity: 10 Seeds
Yellow Pear is a beloved heirloom from the 1800s. The plants are vigorous, and produce an abundance of tiny pear shaped fruits. They taste sweet, and have medium/low acidity. They're great for eating fresh off the vine, but are also great in salads and cooked dishes as well.
All seeds are organic and open pollinated.
Growing Instructions
Tomatoes are best started indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost to ensure that they get a good head start at life; for us here at the farm, the best time is around mid march. It's good to sow them in a sterile growing medium; most available seed starting soils should do the job nicely; we use sunshine mix (peat moss and perlite). The soil should be made moist, but not damp. Sow the seeds 1/4 inch below the soil surface. Store in a warm area until tiny sprouts emerge from the soil. A heat mat greatly aids in this step, but is not necessary. Seeds can take between 5-10 days to germinate. Once the seedlings have emerged, and the first true leaf has formed, it's time to pot up to a larger container that contains a good quality potting soil. Transplant to their final location when the nighttime temperatures are consistently 7°C or higher. Tomatoes do best when grown in full sun, but partial sun will yield decent results too.
