57 days from transplanting. Indeterminate.
Beautiful, plump, tangerine
colored fruits are quite simply,
very sweet and juicy! Provide
support for vigorous vines that
easily reach 6 feet long. Allow
tomatoes to fully ripen for
optimum flavor; fruits should
almost fall off the vine when
ready. You won't find these gems
in the grocery stores, since for the
commercial market tomatoes
must be picked under-ripe for
shipping.
This packet plants approximately 24 plants when started indoors.

When to sow outside: Recommended for mild winter climates only: 1 to 2 weeks before average last frost and when soil temperatures are at least 60° F.
When to start inside: RECOMMENDED. 6 to 8 weeks before average last frost.
Harvesting: Harvest tomatoes when fully colored and firm. About 1 month before the average first fall frost, clip all blossoms and any undersized fruit off the plant. This will steer all the plant’s remaining energy into ripening what’s left. If you have a lot of underripe tomatoes near the end of the season, and a frost is approaching, pick them and store them indoors in a single layer away from direct sunlight to ripen.
