Allium Cepa: These finest quality, non-GMO, USDA Organic Beefsteak Tomato seeds produce classic slicing tomatoes—big, sweet, juicy, and full of flavor—perfect for picnics, barbecue's, and home cooking all year round. Let Tomatoes Ripen on the Vine: The perfect tomato will be red, firm and juicy right off the vine. If one falls before it ripens, place it in a paper bag (with the stem up) and ripen in a cool, dark place. Never refrigerate tomatoes as it spoils the taste and texture; and never put them on a sunny windowsill as they may spoil. Freshly Packed: These seeds are packed for the current growing season and will provide high germination rates next year as well. Certified Organic: All Purely Organic Seeds are open pollinated, non-GMO (not genetically modified), heirloom, organic seeds. Each Purely Organic Seed Packet carries the USDA Organic Seal signifying that is has passed rigorous standards and been certified organic by a USDA Accredited agency. Premium Packaging: All seeds from Purely Organic Products are packaged in individually styled packets ideal for gifts, storage or immediate use. Each packet displays the plant variety on the front with instructions and plant facts on the back. Sow indoors 6-8 weeks before your last frost date. Keep soil warm, around 75° F, and moist. When seedlings emerge, provide a strong light source to promote growth. Before transplanting after the last frost, place seedlings outdoors for a few hours at a time, progressing to a full day, to harden them. When temperatures have risen to 60-70° F, transplant to a sunny spot with rich, moist soil, and supporting structures for vine growth. Water thoroughly, especially in the hottest days of summer. Feed every 4-6 weeks.
