Gardener’s Delight Tomato Seeds, Heirloom Cherry Tomatoes, Free Shipping

Description

Gardener’s Delight tomato is a prolific provider of many, many delicious salad-size tomatoes. I trialed this variety in 2020 in Zone 10a, and was — just like it says — utterly delighted at how well they delivered through fall and even the following spring after protecting over cold nights!

This heirloom variety goes back to the 1950s, developed in Germany for excellent “resistance to disorders.”

While they’re “cherry tomatoes,” they’re a little larger than most, measuring about 1-1.5 inches in diameter.

These seeds are non-GMO, heirloom varieties. They’re open-pollinated, which means you can save the seeds from your harvest and grow more year after year.

Gardener’s Delight tomato is an indeterminate tomato, which means it will need trellising or staking.

Gardener’s Delight tomato matures in about 60 days from transplant, so get started now to plant out in early fall.

Zone 8: Plant out in August through September
Zone 9: Plant out in Late August through September
Zone 10 & 11: Plant out September through October

Gardener’s Delight Growing Instructions

Start tomatoes indoors or undercover to protect seedlings from extreme temperatures and heavy rains.
Sow seeds in cell trays or soil blocks approximately 6-8 weeks before planting out.
Sow seeds about 1/4 inch deep and keep the soil mix moist with misting or bottom watering until germination occurs.
Keep warm at about 70°F to 85°F.
Once roots have populated the starting medium and the plant has two or more sets of true leaves, you can plant them into the garden or into large containers (3-5 gallons recommended).
